2016 MCG Gathering - Lima, OH

Planning on attending this year. Hope to unveil a new product at the Gathering. Stayed tuned

 

Wow after looking at the pics of the motel you can see the kids wont be bored (as if they get that way anyhow) pool table, table tennis, foosball and that big pool I can see a great time coming, we are getting antsy. Wish I could bring my car to help out car count but its not that important as seeing everybody again and meeting new people.

We tried to rent one of the new Hertz Shelby GTs but it was already spoken for besides it cost over $1,000 for the time frame we wanted it, they didnt have any Mavericks or Comets imagine that. LOL. Wilbur I'll drive your Stallion for you I'll be good I promise

 

Will to see about that Mike, they are still under dusty covers have not started or cleaned them sort of lost interest. Thinking about selling them again. Will be nice to see everyone again we are looking forward to it.

 

I know the feeling, Wilbur. I put mine up for sale, but couldn't do it, it is a part of the family. I do have to clean it up, tune it up and gas it up and I'll see you in Lima!

 

The date is getting a lot closer now! I'm really getting excited about heading to Lima.....it will be so nice to see you all!

 

Be nice to see you too, Doug. Which car are you bringing?

 

My Comet GT. Going to try for a FULL round trip in the car this year! lol

 

I am presently making some upgrades to my front suspension and steering. I am replacing everything in the steering cept the drag link. I am replacing spring perches w/ roller variety, thou the one's coming out are only about 3 yrs old. I had new ball joint installed in my drivers side arm and bought a OE style, new arm/w joint for the pass side.
After thinking about the situation for lubricating the zerks in the tight tower, I decided to go w/ after market "SPC 94210 arms". Going this route will increase my caster w/o adding shims to the UCA to hopefully get my car tracking properly w/ the Borgeson conversion.
I am waiting for the arms to come in next week to hopefully get this thing done to drive the car to Lima, for the Gathering; taking me longer than I had planned. That's usually the way it works for me..

 

I am a true believer of Murphy's Law....I see it with virtually every project I do! lol Hope it all goes well for you, Everett!

 

Everett, how do you like the Borgeson upgrade? I've been thinking about doing that, but it is an expensive mod. Keep at it, hope to see you in Lima!!!

 

Hi Earl! At this point I am working on getting some aftermarket control arms and roller spring perches on the car.
Borg states their units need 3+ deg. of caster to track properly. I can't get that w/ stock suspension; strut rods on my car will only go near 2deg. I will post to my Borg thread started late last year when I get it all sorted out.
I plan to have it in Lima, however, I plan to come regardless.
I the meantime, If you have any questions on the install, pm me, glad to relate my experience..

 

Well got the Stallion out And running cleaned up some, drove it some blew out header gasket on one side, tran. has a slight flare between 2 & 3, so not going to mess with, may get some good pics. and put it for sale, sorry Mike was going to try and bring it. See all in a couple of weeks. Will bring blue mav. it seems to be ready to go.

 

Well you tried Wilbur, we will have to talk about the Stallion when we hook up

 

Will do Mike.

 

Hi Everett, I don't have any questions right now. I have to sell a house, buy another and then, I will get together with you on the conversion. Need to get this fixed up and cleaned up. See you in Lima!!!
