    Scottfest 2026?

    Any chance of a meetup 2nd weekend in August (8th-9th)?

    I know there's a prohibition on working on cars at Scottfest, but I was hoping to bring my nephew out and get the engine, trans, and rear in the '89 Wagon so I can drag it home and get the Ohio title then get it tuned and finally on the road.

    I don't have a good number for Scott so can someone please PM it to me or have him give me a call or text?

    Thanks.

    I'm game. I think the prohibition was more a case of "don't take apart the car you drove here in and need to drive back home in" after a couple of incidents where people couldn't get back home in their ride.

      Weather permitting, I could potentially swing by those dates.

      I know Scott recently posted about getting a new job so that would most likely take priority.

        Potatoes! Now there's a name I haven't seen in years. Guess I'm turning into an old timer on this forum.

          Yeah... I'm one of those people that created that rule. That car did eventually drive home and I'm still driving it, but yeah. I have never known a rule about not putting something together to take away and make room. I think that would be encouraged.

          tangent... the Mark VI still running?

              heh, of course my plans possibly immediately changed. I may have to help or at least babysit an engine R&R with a re-bearing thats probably happening at my garage about the same time.

              Not mine luckily.

                Both the Mark VI and the '91 slicktop are down currently. Fuel pump relay issue got progressively worse on the '82, and might have to swap an engine and rear end in the '91. A spark plug broke off, thought we got it all, and it ran okay for a week or two but then all sorts of problems and bucking and stalling out.

                I plan to get them both back on the road soon as I can. But I bought the duplex from my gf's mom so neverending house stuff (knob and tube, main stack, etc) is going to have to take priority so hopefully I can get it rented out.
