2018 Stoogefest May 19th at My Place

Yuuup got it

I'll bring something soon as I rekon my brain

 

A box full of avocados if you still have them.

 

We'll see. I have the haas tree that may make it to then

 

Count me in

 

Lemme check my social calendar.......yep, I have an opening.....Unless Stormy calls back. See you guys there! Unless, of course, Stormy does call back.

 

It's Bruce the human tripod, only guy I know who can sleep propped upright LOL

 

I want to rip out all my 90's hi-fi equipment but would prob be driving home without interior and a ketel. So I'm going to leave that as my fall project. I'll figure out something minor to fix instead.

Food: I can bring something healthy, or I can bring one of my regionally famous cheesecakes (or tiramisu, sticking with the Italian theme). I would just need ample refrigeration space.

 

Cheesecake the way....

 

Stormy coming to stoogapolusa bruce's treat...

 

I got the Ketel from Don F. before he moved. Now I have to find where I put it!
I'll bring a turkey. Can bring a second one if you think that we need it.

I can also bring a 612 needing a timing belt and water pump change, but can that be done in a day?

 

I have never done it under time pressure. I did a 348 engine in and out in 48hrs.

The 550 could be done but I know that car. The 612 has a piece of frame in the way that I think just unbolts...ask bruce. Im happy to help. If we did it in vinces garage then if it runs into sunday we got a place to work and not have to put all our stuff away.

Key would be to have all parts. Get water pump already new or rebuilt saves time. Have all hoses and fluids ready.gasket sealers etc.

Bruce would be a better judge if we could 1 day it. I would start at vinces early before people arrive. Plan for working sunday too but be happy if done saturday.

Could even consider dissassembly friday before southbay ferrari closes just in case some weird part is needed.

Im around thursday to sunday.

 

Could probably be done in a day with a couple of guys if it's just a belt slap.
BUT, keep this in mind:
It's about 1/4 mile from the leading edge of the front bumper to the front of the motor. Who's tall with a good back?
The car is huge. It might not fit in Vince's garage.
There are a few hoses that are not only a *****, but prone to breakage, under the intake that may have to be disturbed. If there's an evap code, forget doing it in a day.

 

May be best to do it at my house at another time. Being under pressure is never a good idea and more than likely there will be some stupid little part that we need that no one thought of. Im sure Vince doesnt want my car in his garage for a week waiting for a part to show up.

I appreciate the collective brain trust but it is sounding like a better project for my garage without the time pressure.

There is always the possibility of Spring Stooge part 2 at my house for anyone interested. (not intended to take away from the Fall Stoogeapalooza)

 

Well I guess you can bring a bottle of wax and just wax it...

 

Hi Vince, we met at the Fast Cars event last year. I’ve heard a lot about Stoogefest and would love to bring my 348 up to PV from Redondo Beach to meet the other enthusiasts. Let me know where to go and what to bring! -Derek

There must be something in the water in the South Bay. It seems like we are all predisposed to buying 348's. I think I met you as well, Derrick. I was frantically trying to leave when it started sprinkling because I left my top at home haha.

Vince, I am definitely up for a lap around PV beforehand.

 

Once again guys I'm out, sorry. Ill be driving vintage cars at ridiculous speeds though Italy for the Mille Miglia.

Have fun.

 

The 348/355 are so reliable, The Stooge Fest is becoming a BBQ cookout. What’s even better, it’s always entertaining when Yelcap and FBB are in attendance. But mostly, I like Plugit war stories. LoL

 

LOL just kidding guys. Don’t vote me off the island yet.

 

Definitely got it from Don but I have to remember where I put it.

Don received the award for going shopping rather than showing up on time for Stoogefest.
