Nice 180 kilometre cruise to Castle Hill and back for the Rattle n Hum show?

A late entry but last weekend we displayed the Mustang in a display of Classic, Veteran and Vintage cars in Rockhampton Heritage Railway Yards. It was a lot of fun but I couldn't make them understand why they should pay for photographs. We learn a lot at these events, it is good to get the wisdom of a constructive eye from other members who have so many years of experience with these classic cars. Today My Stang is in the pen until I finish at the office.

Its been a couple of hundred miles since I installed the TEFBA radiator filter, so changed out the coarse filter and put in the finer filter.

Absolutely nothing!!! Probably tomorrow.

Made a RHS lift-hook for the engine - out of bare steel! Must say it turned out pretty good, but a repro was only $26 - I probably should have bought one...

Took the Mustang out in the cold with a bunch of other muscle/classics to the Qld Auto Museum outside Toowoomba. Started off 3 degrees this morning but warmed up to 13 but windy. I must be getting old 'cause a convertible would be nice but I was glad to have a hardtop today. Roy and Kerry own and run the museum and talk about a passionate car guy! He gave us a tour and didn't stop talking for a couple of hours. Cars from FX to WB Holden, and XA to EA Ford, Valiants, Toranas, plus Euro (Jag, Mercedes, Vauxhall, VW, Rover), a couple of American, vintage and heaps of memorabilia. Too much to photograph but two of the more "interesting" cars are a pair of Peter Brock EA Falcons (after Holden dumped Brockie he turned his hand to Ford for a while

) and Peter Brock Lada

. Well done I say for preserving a lot of cars unmolested, and all out of his own pocket. http://www.queenslandautomuseum.com.au/

A couple more pics

What's the go with the last pic. - the valiant and Dato covered in dust? Are they waiting to be spruced up or is that how they are displayed?

GLENN 70 · « **Reply #1184 on:** July 07, 2014, 11:41:14 am »

That how they are and sit .

Red67Coupe · « **Reply #1185 on:** July 07, 2014, 12:16:01 pm »

They're in the workshop lined up with about 20 other cars in various states of repair/disrepair yet to get prettied up and moved to the main display building (eg - has a HK GTS with all body panels off, interior out and motor/box out being rebuilt). The Val is supposed to be the first convertible - I don't know much about them but she needs a bit of work. He's old school as a mechanic as well - does his own work where he can (hoists, lathe, boring machine), and old old school - the workshop has a couple of girlie calendars over the bench

Finished sanding our back deck, put the first coat of natural stain and painted the sides.

In other words, I scored brownie points for my next Mustang related purchase

Replaced broken window rollers on quarter windows and installed a new hand brake spring... now I can park on hills!

ScottW · « **Reply #1190 on:** July 18, 2014, 08:18:45 am »

I hosed off the windscreen before driving to work. I wasn't blinded by the early sun this morning, so it worked. I really need to wash the thing.

thruster · « **Reply #1191 on:** July 18, 2014, 04:39:41 pm »

walked out first thing this morning wound down the windows and opened the boot, went out all day and just came home to still smelling fish oil LOL!

MACH_ONE · « **Reply #1192 on:** July 19, 2014, 03:31:31 pm »

Put in the new mustang matts and rewired the back up lights :)

Pulled out a 5.4 quad cam motor from an XR8 as a donor motor to drop into the 67 fastback. It's already fitted with stainless long tube 4 into 1's and tuned to suit. Should go well. Hang on..... this is all for my mates Mustang. Damn it, my poor Mustang is still untouched. Why am I working on other Mustangs and not mine?

Took the Boss to Image Classic Cars to get some minor work done.

Went with a bunch of cars to the Warwick Jumpers & Jazz festival - car show in the main street of Warwick (Qld). Started off early only an hour trip from home but outside temp was 1 degree

. Nice in the Mustang but looked chilly in the hot rods that came along

.
Big rollup for a country town - a few Mustangs, MG club, Monaro club, minis, plenty of hot rods, other makes etc and some cars I couldn't identify. It's a week long festival that injects a lot of money into local businesses.
Hopefully the photobucket link works.

Photbucket link is all good Ken, looks like a great event.
I really like the street display events with all their variety and onlookers from all walks of life enjoying the day

Cheers
