At the WAZOO Passadena GetToGether yesterday, Phil approached me with a great idea. As many of you know, Phil recently bought an LT5 long block engine.

He has suggested, and I agree, that it would be fun for the WAZOO to have a Get ToGether at a WMD to tear down the engine. :dancing

So we are working on setting a date for the big event. :occasion1

I am looking for suggestions from all interested WAZOO members and guests about ways to make this special event even more fun. Tell me some things that will add to the festivities.

I need a qualified volunteer to set up the equipment and record the disassembly on video. Also we will need an official WAZOO photographer to document the procedure.

How about a live video feed to the ZR-1 Net ZRegistry Website? Would that be possible?

Can anyone design an "I was there..." T-shirt quickly? I will get them printed if some one will do the design.

Stay Tuned!

Jim

Note: WMD = Westminster Maintenance Day

I can design something for the shirt.

Image like this can be cropped, perhaps in a circle, with "Deep inside LT5".
If that's to suggestive, "LT5 Tear Down - WAZOO 2010".

Anyone has a hifh quality graphic file or poster that can be scanned? I can always turn to a printer I send jobs to and get a break on scanning. A large image or image file is a must for high quality reproduction.

Chime in and let me know what is available.

Thanks.

Jim,
What a great idea!!! I was hoping Phil would be able to school us "Lesser Educated" on the finer art of LT5 motor work. I can volunteer my video camera and tripod to record the events. Live...feed, don't know about. The ZR-1 website won't even accept any kind of video formats. I am still looking for a place to post the plenum pull at Carlisle. The last video I wanted to post, I had to put up on YouTube.

How about rotating mechanics so everyone gets their hand dirty?

John,

We are working on a date... There has to be a pick up in NJ and delivery to the WMD site. Yes, WMD. Hopefully this will be done in the next few weeks!

Is it possible that Phil's valuable cargo will need a ZR-1 escort from NJ to Westminster? I say YES!! :dancing:dancing:occasion1

Phil, let us know when the move will be made and we will see what we can do to round up some ZR-1's. :thumbsup:

Keith, Try a Detailing Get ToGether. That was one of the first events that Michael put on that really drew a big crowd and got us thinking as a group. I sent you an eMail.

For the graphics, I am working on making an parts diagram with the caption: "I was there for the LT5 Teardown" or: "WAZOO LT5 Teardown WMD"

Any ideas?

Jim

We are probably going to schedule the LT5 Teardown for a weekend in April. Phil is not in a hurry for the parts, and the weather will be better.

I have been working on a T-shirt design. What do you think?
