Thanks Phillip! 

Wow..   you covered a LOT of material in very short order!   Wish I'd been there to hear it..

Did you give a test afterwards?

No, no test. Hopefully,  more interest in Camaros.

Uh-oh, a DB guy at a Camaro meeting? Was it Tom?  I heard he was causing trouble at another seminar about computers.

Never caught his name, but I liked what he said about cars being made and restored to drive.

 WOW, the muscle car era really did die in 73! Sad... 😭 But thanks for sharing.

Had around 60 in attendance.  Pretty good for Philly. Finally getting a good group of muscle car era folks in AACA. Expecting a good showing of Camaros in Charlotte and Hershey. And BTW, our resident Mustang guy, Mark Young,  gave an overview presentation on Mustangs.
Maroman, there was quite a discussion about driving the cars, not just showing.  The most fervent speaker was a Dodge Brothers owner! 👍

Once you got it ready to sell, what condition would you realistically say it is in? What looked like a decent #2+ 68 Z sold for $44k at Mecum this January.
I'd think Bullitt65 is spot on.

What part of NC?
Klassic Rides in Denver, NC does nice interior work.

I normally would prefer chrome to accent a car. But bronze on black would certainly make the wheels a focal point! You may have something there. Listen to Chick, we need to see it.

Maintenance / Re: Coolant crystals

Sounds like worn out coolant or stray electric current or both. There are plenty of wesites that tell you how to check with a volt meter.

I was there judging. Pretty good turnout considering the rain.
