The judges were looking and marking the tpe and condition of tires even on the daily drivers. This is standard on other shows and to put it simply a person with original tires should be rewarded for them, however if in bad shape or worn then a new set of clean tires would help in the appearance. There is a bias towards original tires but what you gain in originals unless perfect will be lost as the condition deteriorates. I agree with Knut and but as far as the points I leave that to the judges they have been consistant in both concourse and general and that in itelf is important and it will get better as time goes on.

There are pictures of this in the files section of e-groups. I have been running this way for about 2 years now and have not had any problems. The sheet immediately next to the muffler shows some slight discoloration only in the one spot that actually touches the muffler (due to a rivet in the muffler or something). The second sheet, next to the belts, does not show any heat damage. In fact, it looks the same as the day I installed it. I made the rearmost sheet with a little "scoop" at the bottom in an effort to guide air in-between the two sheets effectively having an air insulation gap. If you have any additional questions about this, e-mail me privately.

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT TRYING A HEAT GUN. PROPERLY USED, YOU COULD POSSIBLE HEAT THE OLD BONDING MATERIAL ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE STRIPE TO BE REMOVED.

The throttle cable from the command module is about 12" too long. Cutting the cable seems the logical answer but then I lose the ball end and also risk pinching the cable jacket. I tried making a loop but then its too short. Any suggestions????

I can tell by the speed of replies to posts that it is not a universal problem. I noticed it for a while at one of my "test" accounts on Excite, and have received a few complaints from AOL subscribers. There's nothing that I can do about it since it seems to be on the receiving server end. I believe that some of the major services (like AOL) look at eGroups mail as potential spam and treat it with a lower priority. It could just be an "internet thing".

Not sure if the parade will show them, but it might be fun to watch.
