What about Friday ?

Nancy, The big street party is Friday night. There will be hundreds, if not a couple thousand cars on main street and the side streets. They close down main street at arond 5, then the cars fill it up. It goes till 10 or so, then they let the cars cruise up an down main. There will be plenty of cars in the show field too. Main street has food vendors, lots of different types of live bands, and a drunk Tony on it. Lots and lots of people. Sometimes it's too damn crowded, so I find a spot to sit a spell.

You need the gas for doing sheet metal and to get a nice smooth weld. I have welded a few things so if looks aren't critical let me know, we can take care of it.

It's on the frame rail were the stabilizer bar bolt (the uclamp) goes, it was stripped missing when I got the car so I put in a oversize bolt in it and it looks like shit. Not sure what to do to it, weld a plate or fill in the hole some and tap.

To me Friday is the best day and night as well and there beer every where and something for everyone. Glad my hotel is right on main street. I can't wait.

I have to say the Friday night block party is one of the highlights of the whole weekend!
There's so many cool cars that come just for the block party that you won't see at the show. I'm getting excited just thinking about it.

[Hank70SS]

I agree the big block party is something to see. If you can make Friday, great. Saturday is also good because the park fills up with cars on Saturday so either day would be good. Sunday, half the cars are gone by 9 am.

If you could get to the back side I would weld a plate, but you can't. Should be able to build up the hole with weld enough to tap it. Frames are thick enough that hopefully it doesn't melt back and make the hole bigger. May be able to drill the hole bigger and slide a plate or washer inside and weld it. Hard to get it in the right position but there are enough holes in the frame that we should be able to do it.

Hey, I think one of mine is stripped too. Pretty sure I got a nut up inside the frame and was able to bolt it down.

So I was in Mt. Pleasant today and it was raining really, really hard. Then driving down I-75 and people were pulling over to the side because you couldn't see. So I figured you guys got soaked. I hope that the rain missed the Friday night events. We are trying to get up there Saturday, the kids keep coming up with last minute things they need for school. They are driving me nuts.

If you are talking about Frankenmuth Autofest it is next weekend.

I hope she sees this before they head out today! The extended weather says next weekend is going to be perfect.

Even if they don't, Frankenmuth is always a good place to go for the day.
