Festiva Madness 3 Meet Pictures

[BigWheel]

Hey Guys, I've been out of pocket for awhile and hated to miss Madness. After seeing the pics I hate it even more. Looks like everyone had a great time and congratulations to everyone that made it such a success. I hope to have Hot Rod in true form and there next year.

roof

You have to be very careful when you stand on the thin Festiva roof or hood to take pictures. It's for that reason, I am going to add two more roof reinforcement bars. has anybody else done that?
I would have loved to have been there too. Distance is the only problem. Ohiostiva is about a 4 hour drive, one way. The problem is, when you go south from Buffalo, there are no major Interstates. Just to get over the Alleghenies will take me 5 hours. Washington is 9.5 hours. Madness would be double that. If I only had the means. I'm working on the problem.

I only weigh 125 lbs. And I was standing at the very corner which is a strong point. And my car has dents all over it......It was a good pic tho...

let me know if you need the roof support bars - I have all three that I pulled out if the Tin_Can when I installed the funtop.
I had to drill and tap the new holes for the funtop support brackets and it was pretty easy - just make your mark - drill and tap - it would be better if you could weld a nut behind because the steal is only a couple layers - but I used a fine thread and they held up to me pulling on them with out flexing or pulling out so

Nice vid chili

[batstiva]

Nice vid, Chills!! At least you got mine with the hood down, so no one could see the protective layer of oil all over my engine bay. Gotta get that VC gasket changed.

You Florida guys are awesome! Actually everybody was awesome! Had a great time, still didn't get enough time to talk to everyone I wanted to. Guess that's what the next meet will be for.

Amazing, I've been to other meets for different types of cars (mostly muscle car meets) and the egos make me crazy. None of that here, anyone and everyone will pitch in with advice and help. Great group of people.
