Rain. Heavy Rain. But that didn’t stop us from attending. 3 days, over 300 miles, good start to another year.

2013 Torquefest Pictures

Route was out to Sandwich and then Hinckley. Starved Rock was avoided because of the flooding. One temporary breakdown and one running on a cylinder short, which worked to get the bugs out before Torquefest.

Here are all of the pictures

April 21st will be the date for this years cruise.  It will start at Roy’s Garage at 10am.  The route is not finalized yet, so check back for updates.

Route Added, detour into Sandwich

Quick notes from the weekend.

Noon Friday Roy, Adam, Joe and I took off to help and volunteer for the early parking of Iron Invasion.It rained and sleeted on us as we left. Roy had a high speed blow-out. My spare was used. It took two shops before we found someone who would patch it. It didn’t hold. Parking cars in the dark and on grass is not easy. Adam’s car spent the night in the club building while the rest stayed outside. We spent the night at Chad’s, got breakfast early Sat and headed out to the show. Wes, Jen, TJ, Colleen and Austin all met us out there early Sat.

Our club pick was Jim Evan’s 49 Chevy. Awesome show – glad to make the first of many Invasions.

Click here for all of the pictures taken during the show – over 600. There is a separate folder for the stunt show because I pretty much just kept the shutter on the camera on.

Good time. Pictures here

Just what I was going for. It’s noticeable but not in your face bass-boat style. Camera’s don’t pick this up very well. Tomorrow I’ll sand it down and put on a final flow coat. I only used one teaspoon per quart and only needed 16 ounces to cover the roof. I have LOTS of flake left to do other stuff

First update. Lots of these. All you see is the top of two rows.

Next update. Picture speaks for itself.

Last update. Jon Kosmoski (owner of House of Kolors Paint) is coming next Tues to Lockport for a 3.5 hour session of custom painting and some new HOK sales stuff I’m sure. It’s $15 and you need to RSVP. I’m in, so let me know if anyone else wants to go.

Jen and I went Sat just as spectators, Stopping by after coming home from Sandwich Fair. Adam was there with the Matson crew though. Me, Roy, Joe, Wes and Adam all showed up Sunday.

Took a couple things home from the swap meet too.
