Hi Guys,
I wanted to thank everyone for the awesome weekend. My wife and I had a blast! Stanley did too

Lars, you are unbelieveable. Your knowledge and desire to teach your craft to a bunch of guys is truly honorable. As you said during your "Opening Monologue" Tuning these cars is indeed becoming a lost art. I appreciate you taking a weekend away from Donna to visit us half way across the country and hang around a bunch of complete strangers... You are the best.

It was also cool to meet a bunch of local guys with the same interest and passion for these old cars.
Hopefully we'll do this more often.... I mentioned to George (ACECO) that we should get together and do some other stuff to the cars like front end work etc....Anyways, here's my pics and I hope to see you guys in the near future.

Stewie (Hobbiest)









DAMN....too many pics I had to delete a bunch....I'll post a few new threads later....

Looks like the weather cooperated and you had a good turn-out.
You need to post the picture of the full recycling bin.

Our little group is having our second "post Lars" tech session.
Will will be doing a full front end rebuild and rear struts this weekend.

Cool pics! I love the Lars tuning pics thread, always a bunch of great cars & stories.


You don't need to start other threads, btw. Just another post!

Those pics are great. Lars could probably spend a whole session on just my car. I have not had it long enough to find out all of the little things about it yet.

Whose "65" is that and where are you from in Delaware? Really wanted to make it up to this but Wife's father was in town.

thats Lars grinding off the screws that were holding on my choke Butterfly on the Speed Demon . I did not like the choke so we remedied that!!!

Cool pics once again.

Thanks again Stewart for being a great host. And to Jill and Stanley too. I had a blast and the only down side was the weekend passed way too quickly.

I have started duping the video's and for a pure "hobbiest", they are coming out decent. Started w/Bob's 77 and the video of the angle grinder on the Demon carb is awesome! I will contact each of you when your car's video is ready. As they take about 3 times actual running time to produce, it may be a couple weeks before they are all complete. However I will be in contact w/each of you soon.

Stewart,
I LMAO every time I see HOBBYIST in parenthesis. To everyone who did not get to see it, the inside joke was that "BUBBA" lived right across the street and had a C4 that must have done 325MPH with the muffler eliminator kit and custom mis-matched duplicolor red fiberglass notchback hatch cover installed in it. He commented that we were just HOBBYISTS (LMAO again) and that his car was "all business" What a blast!

Yep, Bubba is in fact parked on his lawn as I post this.
What a piece of work......

Hi Stu,

Yes, great cigars for sure. Thanks again!

Took the car out once earlier this week and still can't believe how much better it runs. Lars sure has a "magic touch", even if it is all just common sense basics to him.

I want to duplicate the distributor "rebuild/recurve" part on my C4 so I have to IM him for a list of the part numbers used. That's the one thing I neglected to do while I was there. I figure as I have that spare HEI distributor for "practice", I should be able to get it setup w/o too many issues. We shall see.

Got Bobs two disks done along w/the valve lash demo too. Will be moving on to the next one later tonight. I hadn't done this in awhile and forgot just how long it takes per disk to accomplish. However the end result is turning out pretty well w/fades between the scenes, etc. They certainly will make nice "keepsakes" for each of us to remember the finer details in the future. That and I get to kinda "relive" the whole experience again thru watching the videos while duping. Well of course w/o all the beer and cigars.

Oh yes, I took the liberty of "stealing" your avatar to use as the jewel case cover for the disks. Only down side is that when I blow up the avatar to a more appropriate size for the jewel case, it gets a bit grainy. However still it looks better than a blank case. FWIW.

Once again thanks for everything and I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Hi George, any chance I can have a copy made of the carb and distributor setups? Let me know if it's possible. If, no one objects that is. It was a great time and I'd really like to have that. Plus I can use all the tips.
thanks,Ken
