Another Carlisle prep Thread

[billcu]

Let's see those freshly fixed, waxed, or just dusted off Lincolns getting ready for Carlisle.

I just now got mine out of the canopy, we had a lot of rain and I've been working on the Black one a lot.

I put the 20 spokes on, and washed it so far.

I changed my oil yesterday, and replaced my damaged crank position sensor plug that the clip broke off of a couple years back..

There's so much more to do..

 

[Trixie]

I started packing a few things to send. I can't believe how fast it's coming up!

This weekend will be when we get our detailing done. I need to get the oil changed before the trip too.

Today:

The Townie got new Silverstar headlights and a new serpentine belt.

The Mark got wax on/wax off ... whew!!

Rene, you flag is hung backwards, , the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right

 

[Mike P]

how do you know where the flags own right is? I hardly understood that criticism. nit-picker :wink:

 

[driller]

I need to get the Blue Flame cleaned up and ready for Carlisle.

Since I will be trailering it up, I wonder if I should leave the race wheels on or swap the FR500s on? :rolleyes-green:

 

[budpytko]

Leave the race wheels on...makes it look badass!

 

[beerdog]

FR500's look better for showing.

The stars need to be to the observer's left. :wink:

 

[tixer]

I vote race wheels, so we can put the FR500s on my car.

lol... ummmmm... I don't think I'll have room to haul an extra set of wheels.

My Carlisle prep is behind schedule with the rain we have been having every evening this week.

But I did get to play...

Pre-stage...


Staged and ready...


Launch on last yellow...


Left Lane, 0.037... not too shabby.


Just kidding... pics were taken with the unit on 'demo' mode.

It has been a busy weekend.

Washed, waxed, cleaned wheels, shined tires, conditioned leather, and cleaned the engine bay.

Tools, camp chairs, jack, and jackstands are in the trunk.

Installed a new Fuel filter, too..

You were very busy! :thumbsup:

This is about as good as it gets for the CE...



Evidently one of the headlamps like to fog up.

 

[Lvnmarks]

I love that color Mike, beautiful job!

I know, but I wasn't the hanger-upper

I have had that problem the last two years at Carlisle. Even the heat of the sun on them all day won't clear them up ... I guess because the humidity was so high. They clear up in the sun at home!

 

[Rene]

The Townie got waxed, the leather treated, and a new air filter installed today. We had our buddy buff out some scratches yesterday.

 

[billcu]

The cars are looking great and the tree looks fun.

I haven't had a chance to work on mine much yet, weather permitting, I hope to do some waxing tonight or tomorrow after work. Possibly Thursday, or if I drive out Thursday, I'll do it Friday at Carlisle. :big-grin:
