Well Mark,

They put those  (see below) things there so they wreck your car and not their expensive pumps.


While there, I grazed the left rear quarter panel on one of those G&% D#%&
umongous posts

All,
Don't know if I should consider the hard luck award as yet, but I had my
irst "convention" disaster. I took my convert down to the gas station to
et a fresh tank of gas (it was on E), before packing up for convention.
hile there, I grazed the left rear quarter panel on one of those G&% D#%&
umongous posts they put at the ends of the island. I couldn't see it while
acking into the spot where I needed to go. Damage was a couple of dents in
he quarter panel, a grazed wheel lip, and a mashed wheel well trim molding.
Anyway, I'm sitting here wondering if I should take my convert or the
door. It would be the 40th convention for CORSA and my convert was at the
irst convention. So it's a bit of an anniversary for it. Any thoughts from
he group?
Also, if anyone has an NOS or excellent used factory-issue left rear wheel
ell molding for a '66-9 available, bring it to the convention and make me
n offer, I can't refuse. Would rather have a factory molding than a repop
ecause the car is very original. Original top and rear window, interior,
rivetrain never been apart (except for pushrod tube seals), etc. It was
epainted though by the original owner before he sold it to me back in
arly '71. And just 33,000 miles...
Now I think I'll go back to my crying towl....
