Saturday is the first our area Michigan car show. It is April 21st Otis Wilson Memorial Car Show at Northwood University Midland Michigan. We want very much to make this show as our first of the season to show off the Le Sabre's new paint job.
Problem is is has been wet with snow and rain all month. We also live on a lime stone road, have a gravel driveway. I am trying very hard to keep the under side of the Le Sabre squeaky clean. Once we get some decent warm temps I am going to raise the car off the ground around 20 inches on jack stands and paint the whole under carrage & body with POR 15. POR 15 is a rust stopper hence Paint Over Rust, is all so a rust preventer. It prevents rust by totally covering the metal to keep moisture and air from eroding it.
Our road per the long range weather forecast will not be a problem as it is suppose to be dry for the rest of the week and enough traffic will beuseing the road to if you will squeegee the road dry. Our 39 year old drive way is the big problem, it has settled over the years making the drive way lower than the rest of the area. I make every effert every year to make drain channels to allow water to drain off. I also make every attempt to make sure we do not have deep mud puddles.
So now I have 2 days to drain and dry our drive way and make the car show.
Next weekend we have two shows we want to make. Freeland Michigan Saturday the 28th part of the Walleye fest.
Sunday the 29th there is one in Shepard Michigan part of the Maple Syrup fest. Or Kalkaska Michigan part of the Trout fest.
