No, i did not know that. Thanks. Yes, it will all be renewed.

Had this combo on my ´66 Monaco However, quickly changed it to full size Hubcaps. For me, that combo looked more authentic:

Last Sunday we finally pulled the engine. Cause it was the first time for me, this was really thrilling!

Here is a short Video of the Engine Noises. Sounds really weird. At first, i did thought of an grinding attachment part rather than an internal engine problem, because of the sound intensity. However, the shavings in the oil proofed me wrong.

I´m a german citizen. I´ve had never visited the US before. So i´m pretty excited. Guess i will focus on the beautiful landscape around SLC and going for the "action" in Chicago :D

Ok, since i´m not into skiing, SLC seems not to offer much for me. :D I tried to figure out if there are cool events at Bonneville Salt Flat Raceway during 21. - 25. of October. However i did not manage to get this information from the Webpage BonnevilleRacing.com – Fastest Race Track On Earth...
