Took an early morning drive to check out for the first time the Turlock car swap meet. This event caught me by surprise the sheer size of the sellers and the amount of folks attending. The location is at the Turlock County Fairgroumds located at 900 N Broadway, Turlock, CA 95380.
The cars for sell section was like a car show in itself. There were cars reasonable priced and not the over inflated pricing you going on Craigslist all the time. I can’t imagine how the vendors actually are able to get their stuff out once they’re done for the day.
Had to take a photo of this cars bumper. He had welded an adjustable wrench onto the grill. Very cool and unique. It blended in nicely with the whole vibe of the car.
You could tell the seasoned pros with there wagons in pull. The good ones were the high capacity models with the larger rubber wheels.
It was a nice day today not too cold and plenty of sun. I though I’d take the top down. Coming off wasn’t a problem but getting it to come back on was! I ended up having to manually placing the top on and securing it using the provided tool in circumstances just like this. I’m guessing this is not a uncommon problem.
Its been awhile since I’ve charged my batteries getting ready for a photo shoot. It’s a fairly mellow shoot since I’m not the primary shooter and not getting paid. This is for a family friend.
Where the heck is it? After the news and media hype it doesn’t look like it’s storming at all. We’ve had regular rainy days with more precipitation. Maybe it will come later on today but it supposed to have been here already. What a dud.
I’ve had several different exhaust configurations since I’ve owned Josie. All of them were acceptable except when I was running glass packs with straight thru’s. That configuration was so loud it was embarrassing. I picked up a pair of Flowmaster 10’s from a guy in Livermore. He had it running on his SRT Magnum and removed them for a different type of exhaust.
I’ll have them installed next weekend when the storm blows over. I don’t want to take Josie out in the rain since I don’t have my new weather seals installed (except the trunk, that’s done).
One thing that trips me out with the exhaust from the older cars in the 1960’s is the diameter of the pipes used. Mines are about 1.75″ and the newer exhaust looks to be 2.5″, definitely larger diameter than what I have now. I guess back in the day that was a normal setup.
