From Where I Sit…
It’s hard to believe that it’s July already. Having spent most of the last three months ‘trapped’ near Detroit on a work project, I’ve somewhat lost track of things locally. Many thanks to David for running last month’s meeting. I don’t know what happened at the Union Hall, but we’ll get that straightened out before our September meeting there.
I’m hoping to see a big turnout for our annual picnic. Along with the picnic we’ll have the latest Paul Houseman Award for first generation Mustangs, this year’s Neal Decker Scholarship presentation, and a tribute to Bob Kersey. A thank you in advance goes to those who have volunteered to help with the picnic.
Don’t forget! If you want to enter your car in our show this year, you must enter before the end of the picnic. Also, here is this month’s whine...we still need door prizes! Please bring your donations to the picnic...don’t wait until the last minute. There’s more work to getting the door prizes ready than first meets the eye, and it takes more time than you’d think.
See you at the park!

More…
I still have 5 like new P195/75R 14" tires for sale, white wall.
One has NEVER been on the ground; still have the wear tips on yet.
The other 4 have 4/32" wear left on them. They are already off the rims.
For anyone who is a club member of M.C.A. or Ohio Classic Mustang Club I will sell them ALL 5 for $175.00..(That's $35. ea.)
Four of them are SEARS tires & one is a Cooper Tire, but all of them match..
Remember this is the last year where you can get these tires from local dealers, ‘cause they will no longer make 14" tire.
After this year, if you are looking for 14" tires, they will be harder to find.
If anyone what these tire, they can e-mail me at phigley@srscnet.com
Still have a 289 Engine (Block, heads & intake..)
