Tuesday was the day for the seminars. Our good friend, Charlie Schwendler, gave a terrific presentation on flathead carbs and fuel pumps. The picture of the folks in their seats shows a small group in the beginning.....the size of the crowd was at least 4 times what you see here by the time he got rolling. I sat in the back, awaiting my turn to spout off on the next seminar. I definitely learned something about his subjects that day!

Hi Everyone, Mac's transmission seminar was pretty good too! Boy he sure knows a lot about his field! Charlie's seminar was very educational. And Pat's spark plug seminar was very detailed.

Here's a shot from a unique rig on the show field late this afternoon.

A bunch of folks toured the Rouge F-150 final assembly line, what looks like a field is actually a living roof above the assembly line. Tomorrow there is an opportunity to tour the Benson Ford Research Center.

Redneck and Josh Conrad were seen chatting for a couple of minutes about his "junker" that is kept in the V-8 Foundation museum.

Wow ! that's a great pic of the Ford V8 fire engine and its transporter, a unique set up. Thanks for posting it. I love old fire engines and am a member of the fire services museum of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia. We have about 50 old fire engines in our collection including a horse drawn steamer which works under steam. Regards, Kevin.
