WMD - Saturday, 29 July 2017 in Westminster, MD

[QB93Z]

Hello WAZOO,


We will have a Westminster Maintenance Day on Saturday, 29 July 2017 at the garage behind my house at 195 W Main St. Westminster, MD. We will start at 8:30 AM. Come when you can and leave when you need to.


The main task for Saturday will be to replace the radiator on Bob Cook's 1993 ZR-1.


If Charlie is available we will install lowering bolts in the rear suspension to lower the rear end of his car.


If you have any maintenance that we can help you with contact me.


Everyone is invited to come out and pitch in or just hang out.


If you need directions or more information, contact me at 443-244-1347 or jim@gizmosart.com.


NOTE: I will be scheduling another WMD soon to install a Fidanza flywheel in John M's ZR-1. Stay tuned.

Outstanding Jim,
Am still in Nigeria but flying home tonight and touchdown on Wednesday. Also have a new antenna for replacement. Will plan on making pulled pork so guys post up so I know how much to make. Looking forward to it!

[Roadster]

Count me as a maybe, we are having a dinner-birthday party for our son-in-law on Saturday. Depending on the time for the party will determine if I can make it or not. And I still have to finish up on the Z, working on the TB tomorrow. So Charlie, don't count me in for the pulled pork even if I do make it, and have a safe flight home. If I can't make this one, should be able to come down for John M's new flywheel install....

Thanks...Tom

Jim, I have to pass on this one. Just got adjusted this AM, hip was out, looked like a "S" from the back view....lol And I don't think the commute back and forth would help at this time.
Looking forward to the next one you said you have planned...take lots of pics, always enjoy looking at them.....

Thanks....Tom

I just got an RSVP from Jim F. He will be attending and would like to get his secondary vacuum pump checked out. I said sure.

I am hoping to meet up with you guys also. Looks like I'll be driving my beater since it will be raining...

[dredgeguy]

Glad you will be there Yun, need to find that oil spray leak

Wish we could go guys but we have a prior commitment. My Dad's in town too so it would be a great time but we are going to PA to visit my sister and her family for the day tomorrow.

Have a great time!

Looks like the rain storms are going to swing down from the NW going SE. Clear until around 10AM🤷*♂️

Maintenance Day was a success! Even though there was some iffy weather, we had a good turnout and got a lot of work done.


Here is the group with Jim F's 1990 ZR-1:

One of the greatest things about WAZOO is when Charlie brings a Croc-Pot full of pulled pork to the event. Thanks Charlie, lunch was really a treat =D>


For everyone who wasn't at the WMD, Charlie will be cooking more of his excellent pulled pork for Corvettes at Carlisle.

Thanks to Jim for hosting. Yun was able to change out my broken antenna. Normally you can replace just the shaft and ribbon from the top but mine had to be difficult so Yun pulled the motor out from the bottom and then did the repair. He then traced down a missing connection. In the end, all good. Thanks guys!
