    This is the last one for the year and coming up quickly. This session will have mini seminars going on at the same time. We'll have Bill Anderson (rescheduled from the 1st gathering) delving into the flathead ***embly esp the unique valve train geometry and adjustment; Mike Whitt (we hope, although he is starting to get cold feat) setting up a ford 9" gear set; John Wessels on rebuilding strombergs and holley 94's; I'll be doing carb theory, rebuilding other carbs; John Dayton will rebuild and bush the lever action shocks; Dave Krolak will come down to go into brake systems.

    I'll open the shop around 8am woth coffe and donuts etc, we'll get started around 10am, have a deli-style lunch and continue until whenever, last guy out turns the lights off and locks the door ok?

    We can also do specail demos, inclwelding and machine operation etc - just ask.

    This is on March 13th

    I just got off the phone with Dave Krolak, we were discussing the brake seminar. He really is putting together an in-depth session from model 'a' to hydraulic conversion to master cyl sizing and modern disc brakes. He is going to let the discussion go in whatever direction it wants to take and he'll have examples of the diffrerent systems.
    Dave used to teach this stuff at Wyotech and now works in his restoration shop in Maryland, so if you want to learn from a master here is your chance.

    Bill Anderson just dropped in with the flattie he is going to use in his demo and he learned me a thing or two, i am really looking forward to his session.
    A dvd has been made from the metalworking gathering, i will have a copy by sunday and those interested can view it then. If the quality is sufficient we will load it on the internet so that all can see and download it.
    Thanks, hope to see you sunday the 13th oj
