Output flange

Jeff from Cam-Am Cars sent a photo of the output flange they have.  It's definitely the one I need.  The best part, it's brand new.

Axle flange

Jeff at Can-Am cars contacted me today saying they have a flange.  The guys are in CA for the Monterey Historics.  When they get back  he'll measure it and send me a photo just to be sure.  If it indeed is the right one, that will save some money and get the car back closer to race condition.

Rear axle

With the car on stands it makes working on it easier.   Dissembled the axle to see what needed to be replaced.  The one piece that showed real damage was the 3 ear yoke.  I'm going to call Chuck Haines at Cam-Am cars to see if he has one.  Still thinking about a upgrade axle shaft also.

You can see this is really bent.  Option is to heat and bend back in place?

This was hitting the rear suspension lower A-arm.

Mid-summer report

Yesterday being 95 degrees I decided it would a good day to work in the shop(ac).  Spent most of the afternoon cleaning and placing the car on stands.  Not a big start, but a start.  Now I can cleanup the oil under the car.

Back from Oshkosh

What a great event.  For sure, the most people and planes I have ever seen.  Even the camping area for the folks who drive in were turning people away.  That's the first time.

Saturday Con't

Yesterday was really a nice day, perfect weather.  Today should be the same.

One of the many camping sites.

Tonight the airshow

 I've got my seat.  

Boeing 747 cargo from China. Not part of the night show:)

Saturday Oshkosh

Early morning ballon launch.  In my past visits it's been to windy for this.  However this was the perfect morning.

Friday Oshkosh

Friday's weather was not the best until late afternoon.  I did a few more seminars and a little shopping.
I'll add photos a little later.  I forget the card adapter for the photos.  Where I camp there is no Wi-Fi and it's about a mile away.
Today it's going to be beautiful weather, all day.  This will also be the busy day and the night airshow will happen later.

Canadian Snow Birds

Water Tanker for firefighting.

Thursday Oshkosh

Yesterday was occasional rain and overcast for the day.  If you like yesterdays weather,  you'll love today's.  Glad Deb packed warm cloths, it's around 60 degrees now.
Today it's seminars and more shopping.
The photos below are from my camping site.  It's located about 1/2 mile from the end of runway 36.  Nice place to take photos of planes on approach.

Rain

Wednesday Oshkosh

Yesterday(Wednesday) had it's mix of weather.  Around noon hit with a storm but by early afternoon the weather was OK for the  airshow and night airshow.
Today will be a mix bag, alittle rain and maybe some sun later.
I been to quite a few of these, but I don't think I've ever seen so may planes and people.
Today it's vendors and seminers.
