Day at the shop...
 

Spent some time at the shop today getting the children uncovered and organized. The endless procession of registration and inspection stickers, batteries, fluid and tire pressure checks are part of the process.

The flagship tuxedo black 70 L78 4 speed hasn't been outside since 2014...it was great to take her out for a spin. I love that car [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

So Sammy, they are all out of their sleeping bags and will get some fresh air as often as possible. Next job are the oil changes, detailing and maybe some 'tire/wheel swapping for a new look.

I see you still have the sticker on the head light Tom. Was it when you were here at the MCACN show?? Cars look great...

Re: Day at the shop...
 

Yes...that's the Bob Ashton 'less than 1/4 of tank' sticker [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Driving that car is a trip...22,000 original miles...all I did today was take off the cover and wipe off the film of garage dust. I did take the coil wire off and spin it till we had oil pressure before starting...need to be kind to the old girl [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

It will be out again real soon.

They look great Tom for coming out their hibernation. Hopefully the weather plays ball and you can stretch their legs!

Tom
Are there historical vehical plates in NY State ?

Re: Day at the shop...
 

Mike...I think there are, never looked into it though.

Re: Day at the shop...
 

Might be worth checking on. Ohio is good, one time fee of $25 bux and no renewals, and no charge for adding year of manufacture plates.

Re: Day at the shop...
 

That's very similar to MI. One time fee and that's it.

Re: Day at the shop...
 

&quot;The standard yearly renewal fee for passenger vehicles is $28.75 for standard historical plates or $60.00 for personalized historical plates.&quot;

NYS makes you pay every year...so it doesn't look like much of a deal.

The annual reg fee for a Nova is about $23.50...so, I'm not sure it's worth the bother.
