One thing about living in Northern Illinois is at some point there is always the last show.

This is a picture a friend of mine sent me. It's from the Brother's Collection here in Oregon. I believe all of the cars pictured are RA IV including the blue car in the very far left of the picture, and the incorrectly tagged RAIV shaker car..

Default 2 weeks and out it comes.

I have owned my 70 Formy since Labor Day weekend so what do you do?
Pull the Engine and Trans of course.
No re-build on this since it ran very strong and idled great. Just a a re-seal with all the latest gaskets and degreasing and paint.
The M21 needs new seals as well as it was marking its territory when sitting.
Will detail under the hood while it’s out and make it presentable.

A friend of mine was at a car show today and sent me these pics. He didn't get the front end, but it's a '73. It looks like another ASC sunroof conversion for the files.

I had mine out a week or so ago for an exercise run on a nice weekend afternoon, and stopped for a quick pic. Funny how similar the staging and angle of the sun are to Norwood's above!

Yes, they are. Installed them about 6 months ago.

The quick review is they drive like passenger car radial tires.

The good:
- Quiet
- Smooth ride
- No steering disturbances like following road ruts, etc. (the way the repro belted tires do)
- The letters have stayed white

The bad:
- Mediocre steering feel

About what I was expecting, but I had hoped the steering feel might be a little better. These replaced a set of 5 year old BFG Radial T/As, and the drop off in response to steering input was noticeable when I put them on.
