Got the horses prepped and ready for the show!

[fireman 1,022]

Well thanks to SteveBo and some help from KenB we got the hood for the 55 Jr. ready for the show. The paint didn't come out to bad but after welding the hood back together it at least had to be all red. Also had a few other things to get back together on it. It's not restored or pretty but it's all there. The 58 RJ just needed the battery charged and some wax and polish. The Sr. is going as it is. It's ready for Wild Bill's one pull contest !!!

Going to load them up Wednesday night so I'm ready to pull out (very) early Thursday morning!

Here are some pics of the pair of 55's (Senior and Junior) to show the comparison between the two.

With you, SteveBo and I... between the three of us we could put together a RJ35 drag race.

It's all loaded up and ready to go! Went to start the Senior to put it on the trailer and gas started to pour out of everywhere on the carb. Pulled the carb and took it apart. The inside looked as if water had sat in there for while. There was no gasket between the main two halves. The float was bent and I think it was not allowing the needle valve to close all the way. Cleaned out all the mess inside, straightened out the float and put some form-a-gasket between the halves. Bolted it back on and she fired right up and runs even better than before. Of course that added an extra hour plus getting things ready!

[Ken B 3,165]

Maybe a whisker. There is a little dip in the yard where its parked.

[SNYFIX 13]

Perhaps the water came from Ethonal gas ??
