Anyone have some information on that Sunday Chicagoland show? Trying to decide when I'd be heading back home.

WIth the distance I travel to get to the C body show, the Fox Lake show is a show worth attending.
Lots of space, and if you are lucky park under a tree for shade.
Good food and schwag too.
They do have a C body class and regulars here in this forum including myself bring home the hardware, lol!
I got long distance award 2 years in a row. 25.00 gas xard. Just enough to get outa Illinoisy!! Lol!

I do hope the pressure will be on the current owner by ALL my peeps to get Daves car back home.

Well, it's not looking too promising for the Fury. It's not for lack of trying - I busted my butt even with working full-time and it's basically all done as of this weekend: motor and related components installed, driveshaft installed, brakes/hoses all done, checked the parking brake, front hubs and wheel bearings repacked, fuel tank drained, etc. The motor will be primed, started and broken in this week. Unfortunately, the brake booster has not come back from rebuild and that one part is going to hold up completing the brake system. I'm proud of what I accomplished in the last 3 weeks, but disappointed it's not going to be done by Saturday. I still plan to attend the show and maybe I can get the starter back for my '59 DeSoto before then to bring it instead.

Sounds like you did make great progress.
Roadkill would tow it down and ship the booster to the museum to install Saturday

If the parking brake was like my DeSotos (a hand brake that is easy to control), I'd drive the car on and off the show field using that. Unfortunately, the ratcheting foot pedal is harder to control and I don't need to risk hitting something in the process.

@Fireflite56 If you do trailer the 66 Fury III, it won't be the first time a repair was done just before driving onto the show field.
The 2nd show in 2018, @Xenon put a starter in his 67 Imperial, and then drove up the hill at Volo.
If I recall correctly, he didn't have any brakes either.

Just park in front/behind me, no one will notice if you scratch or dent my car.

You can even use it to stop imo.

Man, I wish it would stop raining here. There is some things I'd like to take care of before the trip.
What's sad is I rent a garage with enough space for 6 cars. But yet I have no room to work on the Imperial indoors.

I’ll be putting the new canopy to work this weekend

My attendance may not be as concrete as I had hoped for. Penny’s rear end is howling so she may be down for new rear wheel bearings, shoes and wheel cylinders so she can make Carlisle.

 

[Shakerdave]

I have to sort out a coil issue now. If the universe doesn't totally screw me like always, I'll be there.

I posted the flyer on all the C body FB pages I could think of.

Who's coming over to the shop Friday evening?

@david hill, @fury fan and I will be heading up to Rockford on Friday afternoon. We will meet up with @73 New Yorker on the way and then drive onto to the shop. Shooting for 6:30 or 7PM arrival.

What'll you have on tap? I can stop over for a bit but, it depends what time my brother gets to my house from Indiana.
