    Welcome Skins69 to FCBO!

    Welcome! If you and your Fury are up for it, it’d be great if you would joint the CATL caravan from Belvidere to Milwaukee next month!

    Virtual Car Show 04/26/20, what are you bringing??

    Well, you need to come to the CATL in that case. You can only drink New Glarus in Wisconsin, but it's worth the trip. Virus permitting, I'll again help organize a CATL this September. Meanwhile, for today's virtual car show in the Midwest, I can't bring Medina as her engine is out for cleaning...

    Saw this on the road today.

    Thanks for catching this ‘71 NYer in Mt Pleasant, WI. The owner should have joined us at the CATL — but that was at the other Georgie Porgie’s, ten miles north!

    Introducing a 1970 300 TNT convertible

    ...C-body 'vert ownership and could work. In fact, such a gathering could be teed up with the 5th Midwest C-body show in late June or with the 2021 CATL in September. Long story: last year, I started plans for just a 50th anniversary reunion of the last C-body ragtops at Carlisle, but the...

    noisy rearend gears - or is it??? 3.55 8-3/4"

    ...remove the wheels, and feel those bearings. (but those have <5000 miles on them, installed by me, so I anticipate no findings) After that the 3.55s come out and a known-good 3.23 goes in. I'm hoping to take this on the CATL drive on the 17th and I don't want to feed 3.55s for that trip anyway.

    My last two purchases.

    ...home. Congrats! Not fair, for two reasons: first, I don't do burnout starts in general; second, Medina was still in the debugging mode at the CATL, so there is no way I'd have given you a run for the money. This said, of course 2.76 gears are gonna hurt the performance -- but she'll...

    Welcome Toomunsch to FCBO!

    Welcome! I am not sure if you’ve sold the Imp yet, but if you have not and are up for an informal meet with it, it’d be great if you could bring the car to the CATL — even if just for the Milwaukee part of it!

    My last two purchases.

    I thought he had road gears then. I had 3.23's, not sure what @sixpkrt has in the 300. CatL was a debugging run for me too!

    My last two purchases.

    Oh and she ran circles around Medina at the CATL cruise with the 3.23s...bumblebee stripe subtracts 100 horsepower apparently...:lol::steering::poke::p:rolleyes:

    CATL 2021: C-bodies At The Lake on Saturday, Sept. 18, 2021 (Dwight to Fox Lake, IL)

    ...mean that @Xenon and @furious70 will be coming, too. :) Calling all the others who might be reasonably able to drive to all or part of the CATL -- it is fine, as always, if we just meet or drive part of the way: @metaldad @SGVert @70 Droptop @traintech55 @Stanj @tallhair @swartzed @MarPar...

    Meet Ming, my 1973 New Yorker Brougham

    ...your eyes but would be inconsistent with the genesis of the design. You'll see Ming and her mighty front in a week, at the start of the 2020 CATL. I'll be driving Medina again this year, as Ming needs some engine work before hitting the road, but she sure is "purdy" and I'll make sure you...

    Medina, a 1971 T-code Monaco

    ...them installed prior to getting Medina back home from the East Coast (where she was stored for a few weeks after Carlisle) and taking her to the CATL next week. I bought Raybestos 7012R rotors and PDG39M pads from Rock Auto. Many thanks to @david hill for helping me with the installation on...

    C-Body Car-B-Que

    Thank you for organizing this! Count me in. That'll be fun after CATL the day before! As promised, I'll bring a bunch of 4- and 6-packs (as well as water bottles) based on how many folks announce that they'll be coming. Medina's trunk should be able to hold the beer :)

    New to forcbodiesonly ; Love Shack

    ...you post pics of your car, and perhaps also its fender tag in our informal registry of the Last Convertibles? Also, given your location, it'd be great if you came with your Newport to the fourth Volo meet next June, or the next CATL next September (here is @LocuMob's take on his CATL...

    Medina, a 1971 T-code Monaco

    ...he replaced the water pump last year, but that was not enough and that's why he went with another paint to get Medina's water pump done in time for the CATL. I am comparing it below to Rip's "natural light" photo. Adjusting for the darkness of the photo, this seems like the same shade of blue.

    What did you do to your C-body today....

    Took the Cicada to the exhaust shop to fix my leaky manifold to pipe gasket. Blew out last year on the CatL Drive, and the quick fix only made it 30 miles. Paul, the owner, ground down the crappy weld that was previously done, hammered the flange a bunch, and slapped two gaskets in to keep it...

    I just posted a couple of pictures and brief info on our 1970 Newport Convertible in the 'Last Convertibles' thread. Thought you'd be interested. Thanks, Stew

    Pabst Brewery and Mansion

    Marathon county, been there a lot as my Grandma lived in Wausau. Another reason to get out that way. I'll have to pass through on the way back from one of the events in Illinois, Volo or CatL!

    Welcome John Boy 434j to FCBO!

    ...local, let me alert you to two informal FCBO events that will take place in Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin the first weekend of September: CATL on Sept. 6th, and CBCBQ on Sept. 7th. It'd be great to see your 'vert at either/both events! Even if you can't make it, we'd love to see...
