Made it back from Hershey............

[BobT-47P15]

..........and man, that was a lot of walking.  That place is indeed huge.  We got to as many areas

as we could, but I don't think we got everywhere.  My friend, Nils, and I decided we would like to

go again next year.  This was the first visit there for either of us.

 

 Met some folks including

Tom Langdon, of Langdon Stovebolt Chevy fame;  sheet metal man, The Plymouth Doctor;

Ed Spiegel who has a batch of old Mopar parts; and the fellow who owns the molds and 

sells the reproduction rubber sill plates for P15s.  (The ones seen on eBay).    Also met

several others who had a few assorted Mopar parts and were friendly and helpful.  

 

On Thursday, we met with Rich Hartung, "desoto1939" for lunch.  Had a nice visit.  

See our picture on the regular forum page under "who's going to hershey?"

 

The trip, including a side trip to a blues club and a partial driving tour of Gettysburg,

was 2,316  miles.  

 

I found a few things........most of which I don't really need.......but, hey, I like to have

spares.  Prices were a bit high on some things......but, then again, I found a few items

for a buck apiece.  

 

I bought one thing I'm not sure about..........it's an aluminum water distribution tube.

The other ones I had (before the tornado) were steel.  Would there be any problem 

by mixing the types of metal.......steel block, aluminum tube??

 

Got a new cowl vent rubber from Steele......

 

 

 

Here's the pile of goods......

 

 

 

Found another clear plastic bug deflector like the one carried off by the tornado......minus the propeller and mounting bracket, which I have on another one (gold color) purchased earlier.

This one was only $2.

Don't worry about aluminum in your cooling system. I have aluminum radiators and aluminum heads. Just run permanent anti-freeze all year.

As aluminum is a soft metal it may be difficult to remove after a few years. But I know in my case that would be the next owners problem
