it's been a long time, but I finally got a lap top for Christmas, so I hope to be dropping by more often. Hope all is well and everyone is having a merry Christmas. I will try to spend the next few days catching up on all the new projects. So far from what I have seen there are a lot of new members and a lot of new projects.

I have an automatic transmission....was rebuilt by Wayne, new bearings, springs and mounting bracket. Wayne gets $400 for all I have, I would sell for $350. Also have both belts, all barely used.

Are there any new members as a result of the promoting at Portland this year? I gave away a lot of free bumper stickers w/ the web site on them. I was hoping to see an increase in members. I also told an awful lot of ppl about it.

I have some Sportsman tank decals that my wife and I reproduced. We have 2 red pr left but can have other background colors printed as well. These are not "water slide" decals, they are printed on a quality "air release" vinyl, so they don't have the air bubbles you get from regular vinyl, (same kind of vinyl that is used to wrap vehicles), and are laminated to protect from sun damage. They are thicker than regular decals, but will last a long time without fading. $30 pr plus shipping.

We also reproduced a speedometer back plate decal, pictured is a mock up of the decal in black and white, but if there was enough interest, we could print these in different colors as well. $8 plus shipping.
 If anybody is looking to reproduce any decals, or even want something custom made up, let me know and I'll see what we can do. Portland is just around the corner.

Can someone tell me what size bolt to use on the cylinder? I can get bolts to fit on the one side...but I can't find bolts short enough to fit in the tight space that are long enough to get a nut on. Is there suppose to be a stud, or is there a bolt that fits

I saw on the vmbc web site there must have been some "spatting" goin on a while back. Was there some complaining done with the president? I haven't seen any updates on the site for quite a while. I stopped even checking the forums... not even worth the time. That is a shame that there are that many members in the club and no one wants to take the time to do any updating. I sure had a blast at Portland this year, I hope they decide to make some changes to the web site and forums....it does not take long for a BIG event to turn into a small event when organizers start fighting.

Here are some pics of 57 Fords 1956 Simplex. These are some pics he had a friend send to me...nice looking ride.

How do you disassemble the clutch??? I have taken all bolts out and removed the clutch side pulley and weights, but can't get the "split pulley apart". Is this just pressed in or am I missing something? I have looked at the diagrams in the manuals section, but I can't see how it comes apart. Have also been searching the forum. Please help, or direct me to the right place on the forumm as I'm sure somebody has already posted something. Thanks.
