Oivind – I just sent you a selection of photos via http://www.WeTransfer.com – look for an email and download from the link.
We missed you last week! It was a great year! Weather was dry and pleasant, the vendors were numerous and the crowds were excellent and buying a lot. Car show Saturday was within 40 cars of Pre-Covid registrations at more than 1100 cars. All in all it was a good year! It would have been better,though if you had been able to attend.
Until next year!

Will do,@Dave.
Liz Horne takes 9-11 Thursday, October 7!!!
@Dave:
Two-shoe it is. This’d be a good topic for the PASB, since the procedure hasn’t been covered for over 40 years, now.
Thanks @Tom – the process doesn’t sound too crazy.
@Herb, thanks for the info. That brake manual isn’t available on Amazon at present. There was one on eBay recently; I’ll keep a look out for it.
Hi @David White,
Thanks for the tip – super helpful. The 74-5 PASB drawings make all the difference. I guess it’s time to pull the wheels and drums to inspect and see if these are two or three shoe setups. The car stops amazingly well. The handbrake needs adjustment, I think.
I just now note that the little brake inspection covers on the drums are missing on my car. Yet another tell-tale indicator of the prior owner’s +tractor mechanic+ “he can fix anything’” friend having had his hands in there.
Looking fantastic ! Nice model, like the covered bridge also. Norm Cangey
Another great gathering with our hosts outdoing themselves. Great visiting with all and look forward to next year.

Steer totally clear of UShip; too many amateurs on there. If you have an issue, UShip will tell you to deal with the shipper – they totally absolve themselves of any responsibility. It’s a free-for-all.
I’d suggest sticking with the biggies. I’ve had good success and reasonable rates from Passport Transport. It’s a real company. The few dollars more that you’ll pay with an established transporter is worth the peace of mind.

Welcome @Joseph. Was watching your car on eBay. Thought about pulling the trigger, but fortunately, you saved me.
It’s a slippery slope – strap yourself in.
We still have this car listed as belonging to John Confer.
If it has a new owner, please let Dave or Donna White know.
Thanks
That mud puddle plunge is Dr. Loh’s photo. It was a PAS Photo Contest winner a few years ago and featured in a PAS Wall Calendar.
Thought that I would utilize that cool picture again! The 52 seconds of the introduction video and animation took me about two weeks to create because there were so many capabilities of the website’s new plugin software, I couldn’t stop experimenting with bits of video and photos!
Hearing that you guys are enjoying it makes all that hard work worth it! Thanks!
Hey, thanks, @Don – great to meet you as well. There’s lots more for me to add in posts, although I may save it all for print in The Arrow. It’s been an adventure, for sure.
@Dave,
Too late 😬. New, proper fit Cotter pins are installed and bent correctly. Previously they were all loose and whoever installed them bent both ends over the same way.
@Randy – I certainly hope to be at the meet. I should write an article about the adventure – finding the car was the easiest part. Been two months since the car arrived I’ve been on it nearly every night and all weekend for two months solid. So many thing to check, tend to adjust, service. I expected to be ‘done’ at least two weeks ago.
Pretty sure I am close enough to make it to Hershey. My pan was to have 100-150 miles on the car prior to the meet. We’ll see how it goes this week.
@Herbert Tull,
How about this one from OTC? Is this similar to what you did with the Lisle puller?
Oivind – Interesting. Yet another thing to look for/at. Thanks for the photos.
Bill,
I compared your photo to my ‘32 headlight rings. Looks the same.
Dave, Jim:
May I suggest using a Nord-Lock washer? These are superior to a split ring or toothed lock washer. A bit pricey, but worth it.

@Karl – the one’s from the PAF are for a ’33-35 car. Luckily, Mr. Cislak had one set remaining for a ’32 and that’s the last of ’em. I now have them in-hand. I can see that this was not a simple part to make. +PROGRESS+
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Since I am relatively new to the PAS, I don’t have the long-term attachment to the old style of The Arrow. I think the new format is terrific and conveys the style and elegance of the Marque. Thumbs-up from me. 👍</p>
