My usual Summer MO for the PAVs was to arrive after sunset. Then they started to chase everyone off at 8:00 so that killed it for me. I'm just not into baking in the sun. Evenings in October sound good. I can give you a firm "maybe" on the 3rd as we have some other things going that day. :D

Not even close to original, but a nice restomod.

I used ATF back in the day, but AFT was different back then. Dexron was slippery for smooth shifts. I think it originally contained oil from sperm whales.
