kahmann Posted May 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I just got the engine/trans/exhaust into the car late last week. I ought to have it running tomorrow night, so unless something extraordinarily unforeseen occurs between now and then, I'll be driving the freshly built Shelby.

kahmann Posted May 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 ^All I have at the moment are my DOT comp tires (RA1's). If it's raining the whole time, I'm not going. I just can't put this tread through wet mountain roads for 8 hours up and back. Here's to hoping for a better looking forecast this time next week.

kahmann Posted May 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 ^That's great news Rob. I wonder why The Weather Channel's forecast is so different from everyone else's. All I know is that none of these clowns seem to know what the sky will bring beyond the next 12 hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is that none of these clowns seem to know what the sky will bring beyond the next 12 hours! I would much rather trust the local TV news stations forecasts then the "weather channel". The local guys have a much better reason to try harder to get it right. Like I said, I will keep everyone up to speed with the local information.

kahmann Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Well it looks like I'm going to make it. I'm headed to get my post break in dyno tune in a few minutes.

I just put on 2 new tires on the car as the front tires didn't have any tread. It looked doubtful a few days ago as the tires were on backorder for a few weeks but arrived late yesterday. I ran down the get them installed this morning so I'm all set to go. See you at the Arbuckle Chevron station. I'll send you a PM with my cellphone number if you need to contact me.

cluscher Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Guys, just a heads up. I checked into the Best Western today here in Battle Ground. My car was as dirty as its ever been because I drove down from the Seattle area to the Oregon coast early this week for work. Anyway, I washed my car here today. Unfortunately I couldn't get away with a dry wash and used the water. The water is terrible and left BAD water spots all over my car. I waxed the car and it didn't get ride of them. I even waxed the windows and my windshield is still all spotted up. Very frustrating. So DON'T use the water to wash your cars when you get here....just use detailer spray.

Another thing to watch for is we had a problem last year with the sprinklers going off late in the evening just around sunset and got the back of my car and several others. Had to do the quick dry before it dried and left spots. Park up close to the building if you can and try to avoid the sprinklers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting closer to 12 with traffic and stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try spraying quick detailer on it while it's still wet from the wash, then dry. What time is everyone planning on being in Medford/Grants Pass area?
