Hot August Nights Reno, Nevada. 8/8-8/13/2017.

Adam of Adam's Polishes. Learned more from the Master in 10 minutes. Business man. Uses American made stuff whenever possible. Customer for life. View attachment 500230 View attachment 500229 GSR.
I didn't get to meet the man, but in the spring when I went to get stuff for the mopar show in Fort Collins I got to see their facility and the collection of bicycles they have, which is how it all started, polishing bicycles!!!
 
I did nottake any pics there but I did look at that car and it is a beauty. I personally like that style better than 71&72 models. The front end just looks better.

Guy in this Chevy did a smoky for a fraction of a second near the end of the parade. Right next to Reno's Finest. Pulled his HAN Registration and wrote him.
 
Thanks for the pics , at the least the 'Nats were all Mopar, but beautiful anyway & the temperature was bearable in Ohio.

Reno weather was 20 degrees cooler than other years. Perfect.

Parade cars could not add up to 10% of registered cars. Went for brews and grub at the Mellow Fellows across from the ballpark after. The best.
 
Residual pressure valves I put in during the disc conversion as I am using the original distribution block. Don't seem to do a damm thing.

The Wilwood inline "cylinders" are yours in that picture?
I was curious about that and thought this might be the case. Thanks for responding!

We were parked right across from his setup at the Grand Sierra and yes he is a master. They were doing a demo on my buddys 60 Impala. Letting people polish it with guidance of course. Did not keep him from having a little pucker factor though. My other bud bought 2 of his used during the show buffers at a good discount. Nice folks at Adams.

Used to be a cutoff of 5k registered cars. Now it is unlimited. To give an idea we came down with 6 cars with only 1 trailerd . But we are not normal. the quality of cars was unreal. Can you really drive a Blown Hemi Willys A/G cross country? I saw at least 10 of them. Not all Hemis and not all blown but you get the idea.

I know there was a blue '66 Mustang that drove all the way from Texas.
