40's Only Run

[LXBRADY]

Steve,
The crack was probably started quite a while back but took till now to crack far enough to peel the perch away. It happens! Clean the metal with a wire brush, use a narrow grinding disc to make a "ditch" along the entire crack and weld it back together. When welding only weld about an inch at a time. Move to a differant place and do the same. The goal is to not over case harden the whole damage zone which simply create more places for cracks to happen. If possible add a gusset or scab plate. Check the other perches too very close as there is a good possibility there might be more hidden cracks.

Thank you for the advice, Kevin!

Sorry I won't be able to make this one Martin. I'll be in Durango for a wedding. The 40 needs to stretch is legs too.

Are non-members alowed to join the run

I'm tempted to make the run this year, read about last years run and wished I had gone. It has been years since my 40 has hauled me to the hills, but I have been weeding out the trouble spots on it the last two years and want to give it a try.
I'm not a member, not lifted, not locked, no power steering, no top, fairly experienced, know my limitations. '70, 2F, 4 speed.
I'm tempted to see if the ol' 40 can make it up the hill, offroad doesn't scare me, on highway does a little bit.
Can I come?
What else would I need, besides what is listed in the invite?

P.S. I can add BLUE to the M&M colors scheme.

It depends on how quickly I can get my cruiser to idle. Should be taken care of in the next day or two. Either way I think I have time to get it all handled.

Marco,

Do you need the code to get the 40 out of the garage? - Or does this mean you have found a 40?
