I guess I will be there some time or other, possibly Friday night or even earlier if I leave Thursday night.

I am sure Scooter would love you there Thurs night. Then he could have you all to his lonesome

For anyone heading to the clinic. I have a passenger and driver seat, and backpad all off a 1973. Need these out of my garage, so will haul up to Scotty's. (weather permitting)
Price = FREE.

More info here- Classified Ad

OK, I'll use 20 for a planning factor, that should give me some buffer for the Kalua pig and rice. So, I will cook up some Kalua pig the night before and bring my big rice pot that day. That will be my contribution to the event.

Throw out something the rest of can contribute!

I'm planning to come and help/heckle as needed.

Zach

Bring some of your shifter knobs! Still one of the best parts on my car.

I answered in your classified ad that I'll take these for saigon71 as he is/was looking for a black seat. PU at the trans clinic

If I had any to bring I would. Totally sold out since fall and no time right now to make any more.

Hey all, I am looking for cores. If you have them, let me know in PM and maybe we can work something out.

I know a guy who has a few, I will see if he will part with a couple or so. If he does, maybe he will meet up with me and I can bring them if I get to make it up. My trailer may not be ready in time but I will do my best.

That would be huge. Thanks man.

Sorry, he has traded all of the boxes to someone else. I called the other guy and he doesn't want to part with them. Wish I had been at the auction where they got them. They were selling for $25 and $30 a piece.

You say this just to taunt Mike, don't you.

Good job!

I'm going to drive up to spectate, but will bring a spare 901 just in case.

I'm out. I have to take care of some things with the house I'm buying so I will not be able to make it. Hope you guys have fun.

So I should just leave your freshly painted car in the parking lot then ?

I will drive it back to Knoxvile for him.

He can pick it up at my house.... Nobody tell him where I live!

Oh Scotty, you have so much room to store a freshly painted tub. What are you worried about

That will be fine. I haven't been able to get my trailer ready to go yet either thanks to all this crappy weather. Wasn't really looking forward to hauling it back on freshly salted roads anyway. At least in the parking lot, it won't get salted.

I'm planning on spectating/getting in the way. Bringing a crock pot of chili, w/ plenty of fuel for Dr. Evil's methane plant (ie: it'll have beans in it). My plan is to sleep outside... where I won't die from the methane poisoning. Sorry about the rest of you staying over.

I will be there to spectate too! I'll sleep in my usual spot. The rest of you SOB's leave me alone! I will make sure to have several helpings of Bo's chili to discourage y'all.

Matt

Gonna be hard since he can not store stuff outside.....

It's been OVER a month since we discussed this. I have put other work aside for the better part of 3 weeks to make certain I had things taken care of on my end. I have no outdoor storage so it will have to stay indoors.

1-800-Uhaul

35.00 / day storage is going to add up quick

I like Marathon Blue! Leave it in the parking lot...I'll make a midnight run to Virginia with my trailer

Sooo, I got access to a chemical washer, any problems with me using the sucker to clean the tranny case? Just want to make sure so I don't damage anything prior to the clinic this weekend.

Mike Blizzard had earlier posted a list of items to bring to the clinic based on Dr. Evil’s guidance plus there were a few more suggestions. This is the list so far:
- Seal kit
- standard metric wrench and socket set of common sizes up to 19 mm
- standard screw drivers
- pliers
- BFH; I am guessing that is a big f….ing hammer
- adjustable wrench
- seal puller
- set of punches
- pack of cleaning rags (the 100 pack)
- zip lock bags for parts
- lots of disposable gloves
- cleaning spray, hand cleaner
- old clothes - Mike says he will have an extra TYVEK suit
- Beer
- Folding stands and board or folding table
- Sealants of any kind???
- Ground cover to catch drippings
In the Dr. Evil DVD the following additional items are used during the rebuild:
- Micrometers
- Big chisel
- Metal straight edge
- Vaseline
- 400 grit sand paper
- JB Weld
- Soft hammer
Anything else?

Great now how am I going to convince my wife that it is ok I am going out of town. Meeting someone called Dr. Evil. And have her actually believe that i am going to work on my car as I am packing those items? As if Tranny Clinic did not raise enough red flags.

I highly recomend your own set of bent tip pliers!

What is the solvent? Any of the water based solvents like simple green may cause rust if left inside too long. I flushed my out with a good spray of WD-40 after cleaning. Yes WD = water displacing.

Depends on the Doc's mood.



If he's at all randy, you can't go wrong with one of these.

I have ZERO tables/workbenches here, so if anyone is driving a wagon or truck and can bring tables it would be great.

I can bring a couple of the plastic folding in the middle tables. May have to support them in the middle if two trans are on them. Will have to be sure they are clean when we are done. I was going to bring one anyway.

Let me know.

Will bring a cardtable.

Any table is good. The heavy stuff stays on the floor.

you don't remember the size of the tip do you? At the price of a single plier at Sears ...

http://www.sears.com/search=bent%20tip%20pliers?levels=Tools

I would only want to get the one correct size.

have a chance to shop today. I have a replaceable tip snap ring pliers set and wonder if that'll do.....

I used a replaceable tip set, they worked ok as long as the tips don't move!

The fixed ones are easier but I don't know the tip size!

You don't need to purchase this tool for the clinic. Evil has a big hefty one and there was not a line to use it.

I have been to one clinic and hosted one and the only thing people end up waiting on was the pliers to come available! True you will be able to finish no problem without your own but when I had my own I was able to help others and speed things up!

Hi everybody I'm registered and will be in Charles City on Saturday. Looking forward to it. Can someone tell me if the shop's heated or if I should plan to be close to the ambient temps (50's it looks) for the day. Thanks.

James

I'll bring a folding table. Not a problem.

Zach

You sick. You no come !! No pukey pukey here Joe

No pukey???

Tick tock....... Leaving for Scottys bondo mansion tomorrow some time.

Could you give us a quick rundown of what we need to bring with us? ( what hand tools/ equipment) Gasket kit I have. Is there a parts cleaner? Bring fresh fluids? Should the unit be drained? Thanks for the help. I am planning on bringing a cooler with drinks and ice, there are no fast food joints or quickie stops close by so for the guys driving in you may want to stock up as your heading in. I live in New Kent which is only about a 15 minute drive away. See you guys soon.

Jon LVNZDRM

Please see first post for answers to all your questions. 9am, regular tools, drain your dirty box, no parts cleaner.

I've been reading this post for 3 months. Eyes are glazed over! I always tell my son "Don't be that guy" I was just him. Sorry.... See you guys soon. I'll adjust accordingly!!

GPS's's's will most likely be bringing them in exit 205. McDoogles, Wendy's, Bojangles, Subway, Pizza Hut, Dominoes

Packed! Leaving in morning. I am sure I have forgotten something but the trans is in the car with the tables. See you guys Saturday morning.
