SAAC Forum

Yesterday evening, an All Ford Cruise In/Car Show was held at Suffolk Executive Airport in Suffolk VA from 4-8PM. There were about 60-65 cars there (including a bunch from the Southeastern VA SAAC as well as some of my buddies that showed up, including a (surprise) Boss 351). Great weather (low humidity) and a bunch of people. See the below link for my photos from the event. The turnout was surprisingly good (especially considering the big Khedive Temple car show (300+ cars) was held at Greenbrier in Chesapeake yesterday morning (some cars did double duty)). We did well for not hearing about this until a week ago.....

Took me a little while to get to it but see the link below to my photos from All Ford Carlisle back in June. Well attended and lots of vendors and show participants. Bought some pretty cool stuff too, including a Cobra 2-4V setup with the correct carbs, air cleaners and fuel log.

What a great weekend! 





Thank you to everyone at SAAC, Team Shelby and Pittsburgh Grand Prix that was involved in making the event a success.  THANK YOU!   These type of events are not easy to organize and put on. It shows how great a job that was done by seeing so many happy people.

It was great to see so many friends and meet a lot of new friends.  Just a great event in every aspect of the weekend.

I had so much fun!  I can't wait to do it again next year!

THANK YOU!

Brian,
  Was good  to see you,  your buddy (Craig?) and Mark Hovander again; it's been a while. Lots of people, cool cars (and a strong turnout of 1965-66 GT350s to boot). Particularly enjoyed the dinner and evening program, including Pete Brock's talk. Hope to see you guys again next year.

Dave

That gives all of us with a disassembled Shelby something to aspire to.  Congratulations!

Dave

Jeff/Bob,
   Appreciate the responses (and the posting of my picture), my car is a pretty early 69, #362 built in early January. Sounds like I need to see if I can come up with a plate with the depression near the starter or else use the smooth plate as my plan B. Thanks Again!

Dave

Can anyone out there tell me which block to  bellhousing plate is correct for a 69 GT350 with 4 speed- the perfectly smooth one or the one with the 'smile ' stamped in? My car was disassembled when I bought it and was missing that plate, and I ended up with both of these two, both for the 164 tooth flywheel (I wanted to post a photo but there is a problem attaching a photo for some reason)

Thanks,
Dave

Bill,
  Sent you a PM.

Thanks,
Dave

Hey Dennis, I sent you an IM. Thanks,  Dave

John,
   Very cool, that's a milestone for sure. I'm struggling to just get my 69 GT350 convertible to that point but I'll get there. Don't lose focus on your end game and you'll get there. Congratulations!

Dave

Hey Cory,
  Just sent you a PM, let me know how it works out.

Thanks,
Dave

Hey Jay,
  Sent you an IM.

Dave

I found two extension housings in the barn, both a C7OR-A and a C6OR-C, both for the 28 spline yoke. Sent you a PM with a link to my Google photos album with pictures of them.

Dave

Sent you a PM, I believe I have what you need.

Dave

Hey Tom,
  I shot you an email.

Thanks,
Dave
