March 24, 2024, Tech Session
Attendees: Darin Graber, Dennis Walkingshaw, Bo Hall, Glen Schimmelpfennig, Pete Davies and Tony Duffin
Today started off with 2 inches of fresh snow on the ground as well as rain at the lower elevations. I thought that maybe we wouldn’t get much of a turnout for the tech session, but I was pleasantly surprised. Despite the bad weather we had six members show up to help Darin get his car ready for the driving season. Members are really coming together to help one another and to me that is a sign of the continuing commitment to growth and good health of the club. Read the full report on the Recent Events page.

February 10 Tech Session Saturday’s tech session at Henry’s shop was a great day. We had a good turnout of members and everyone took part in one way or another, either on Don’s doors or on Dil’s Jaguar that had developed a coolant leak. We started off with coffee and donuts which were supplied by Don Hughes, thanks Don. We got set up in the shop and then proceeded to start working on the doors that Don brought along. The goal was to make one good door out of the two. Work started with a discussion of what was the best way to remove the sheet metal from both doors and a plan was formulated. Dave Maxwell had plenty of experience in this area as he had done quite a bit of body work in the past and his input was very much appreciated, thanks Dave. Part of the inner shell was removed from both doors and some rust was cut out of the second door skin. This took longer that expected as we had trouble opening up the seams.Once the metal was separated the rust was removed. After a few hours it was determined that the metal was to far gone for repair as there was considerable rust and distortion. We discussed the problem and decided that the best way to proceed was to replace the bad metal with new patch panels. So Don is going to order an outer and an inner door patch panel. Once these come in we will get together again and repair the door. Read the full report on the Recent Events page!

Christmas Party
The Christmas party was a great success and if you weren’t there you missed a wonderful time filled with camaraderie, laughter and cheer. Hope you can make it next year. The party started at 5:30 and almost everyone arrived at the same time, there were seventeen of us in attendance. Henry stepped behind the bar and we were served our favorite beverage. The conversations started and pretty soon everyone was telling stories. Discussing things about the past year, what we had done both to and with our cars and significant other. Holiday cheer and merriment were in abundance. Chris and Henry had done a beautiful job setting a very festive table and decorating their home for the Christmas season.

After about an hour we all sat down to dinner, wow, it was great. Larry Jensen had offered to supply the meat and he smoked a beautiful prime rib roast. It was done to perfection and was without a doubt the best prime rib we ever tasted. Everyone told Larry how good it was, fantastic job Larry! We sat down to dinner and it got quiet as we consumed a fabulous meal of prime rib, potatoes, salad, enchiladas, rolls and a glass of red wine. The main course was followed up by desert which consisted of an apple pie and a cherry pie that was home made by Victoria Davies, yummy! Read the full report on the Recent Events page!

Tech Session for Tom Leavitt’s Sprite
If you weren’t there you missed a great time!! The tech session went really well as we had six members and a new prospective member, Brooke Steel, attack Tom Leavitt’s Sprite with great enthusiasm. The weather was perfect on Saturday morning in the mid 60’s with clear skies and no wind. We all gathered at the pre-determined time at the storage facility where Tom kept his Sprite. Read the full report on the Recent Events page.
