I am sure you, or we, could find someone to do that for you if you can't

Not the usual request for a tech session but we aim to please.

Shouldn't be an issue...all the other white wine women will be flying through downtown Barstow.

AC Rob · 12-20-2011, 09:11 PM

For those that may wish to have their Instrument Clusters Repaired....

Speedo Tech can be onsite Saturday the 28th at the Show & Shine and he will stay through the Tech Session.

He has told me he will charge $150.00 with R&R.
He would like to see a minimum of 5 units to repair.

Please let us know as soon as possible so I can get him completely onboard, as required.

RLCulster · 12-21-2011, 09:18 AM

Please keep me in the Tech Session Loop, as I'm a player for "Stuff", Programming, etc.

RUN ROD RUN · 12-21-2011, 02:50 PM

Please put down Wayne Sutterfield down for corvette servo installation & performance tune if possible.**

** Wayne not a computer user & he ask me to put this in for him.

River Run · 12-21-2011, 08:00 PM

Joe will be available on Statuday at Findlay to offer Performance Tunes to those wishing to get more out of thier SSR.

He can fill you in on specifics you should expect for results, and of course his cost will be $200.00.

STYLES SPORT ROADSTER · 12-21-2011, 08:09 PM

As for Servo Installs, I am not sure who is qualified to perform that service, and would like to hear from anyone that can help here.

Rob & Randi

That would be Richard (Umpire13).

So as not to tie up anyone for the full Saturday afternoon, I would suggest we move the Spare Tire Installation and any Servo Installs to the Phx Tech Session if possible, in order to avoid any delays for SSR owners and Techy Volunteers.
We'd rather keep this a low volume, small item tech session; IE Performance Tunes, FatMat installs, etc.
The larger items can be handled easier at a larger Tech Session.
Regular Tech Sessions are normally held in March in Phx, or at the next Redlands Tech Session or at Autodan's Tech Session. (For this Region)
Thank you for understanding the time restraints we'll have at Laughlin.

See you all soon,

Any chance the detail guys will be there again this year? My paint could use a good massage while we're there.

I'd love to learn how to buff out paint, just don't wanna practice on the R......

And has anybody tried this Dr.ColorChip Custom Automotive Touch-Up Paint Kit - Dr. ColorChip: Automotive Paint Chip Repair Systems

I've got a couple of craters I'd like to fix.....

Several of our own, are Detail experts, and could probably help.
While there at the Show & Shine, I recommend you speak with "Blackie". He is an absolute expert, and his truck is a great example of this statement.

"BLACKIE" · 12-26-2011, 05:29 PM

Thanks for your kind words Rob

I'm not a "EXPERT" per say, but thru out all of my years of owning anykind of ride. I have learned to detail/polish my rides mainly because my Dad used to do it to his rides when I was a little guy. It's something that I have always done because I have always felt that I can do it just as good as a "EXPERT" and I enjoy looking at the results of my hard labor.

I'll tell you what there Don, you bring your touch up paint and I'll bring my 2000 grit sandpaper/Q tips/ tape/thinner and we will see about filling up your craters. After that I'll buff out your paint and you can watch first hand on how I do it and give it a try on your own SSR after you have watched me. I see you have stripes on you rig, are they stickers or are they painted on? if painted, are they clear coated ? if the detailers are there and you want to blow me off and go with them ..... That's cool

I take my time because I do not do it for a living and I like to have a "POP" or two while I detail/polish

Unlike last years "GIG" I will be getting there early Thrusday morning and get settled in, and not waxing my rig at 2:00 AM in the dark

(which takes a lot of time)
