Our 4-1/2 hour flight into LAX yesterday afternoon doesn't seem so bad then. We're in Hollywood today. Resting up after a day at Universal Studios. Tomorrow we're beginning our trek north via the Pacific Coast Highway. However I just found out that the road is closed up through the Big Sur area, so we'll have to detour that sceinic area. See ya guys Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desotodav Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 I was last here in CA in 2014 - too long ago! i was hoping to do a trip along the coast road through Big Sur., but wasn't sure whether the road was still closed from the mud slides. Thanks for the information Merle. We'll have to stop off in Lodi on the way through as we'll need some cold beers for the camp fire on Saturday night. Might get something better than that lollie-water that Mark drinks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pflaming Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 To all: It is an easy one hour drive from Sonora to Yosemite Valley. Because of the heavy winter snow, the falls are FULL! I'm very seriously considering to head into that valley early Sunday morning via the Merced River. I will never have an easier drive to that park with my truck than this. Do I have any company?

Loved it during the 6 Mo. I spent in Brisbane area. DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrampSteer Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Redid the gas tank trying to get to the BBQ. Painted it green cuz it made me laugh. Once I got it all together the fuel pump said "nah". Opened the trunk of a '34 chevy California Mountain Special and pulled out a 6 volt electric fuel pump still fresh in the original package bought in 1991. Any guess what the rubber grommet was like? Think I better start thrashing earlier next year ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classiccarjack Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Should I bother dragging up a 1953 Chrysler Firepower that I need to part with? Or is that something no one really is into or wants? I am trying to determine which extra parts that I have to bring up with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram’d R/V: 1972 Dodge Motorhome You know that phrase, “A face only a mother could love”? Well, this unusual R/V likely has a lineage involving a Dodge D150 pickup and a school bus given its distinctive grill and headlight combo, which isn’t exactly what you’d call handsome. Still, this bubble-shaped motorhome is dirt cheap at the moment, listed for $1,100 or best offer here on eBay.Read more at http://barnfinds.com/ramd-rv-1972-dodge-motorhome/#BIyDWyqSbsmTKOmV.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classiccarjack Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I just received a request from a friend. Does anyone going to the tailgate BBQ have an Original tall oil bath air cleaner that will fit a Stromberg on a 1949 Dodge car? It has the bracket that comes over from the cylinder head that bolts to it. Ironically, all my extra air cleaners do not have the special clamp for the beveled edge on the top of the carburetor. It seems that most of my 1 Bbl's have a straight edge with no bevel on the top except the three that I have no air cleaner for... Please Help! He is willing to purchase the air cleaner. What has happened is this, some mechanic shop took his original and tossed it to put a chrome cheap air filter on it. They claim that oil bath air filters are a fire hazard.... Seems like most younger folks are very ignorant nowadays.... Despite his efforts, the original air cleaner cannot be retrieved. Thanks guys/gals, any help would be appreciated, he is a kind good man.
