As you guys may know the Dearborn has support the Pacific Regional and the Ford Fun Sunday in No Calif with may Raffle Gifts and Show Sponorships.

Trevor has made a very generous offer ...... I have cut and pasted it below.

Hey Guys:
Dearborn Classics would like to help boost club participation at the Falcon regional, so…
Dearborn Classics will give every person that comes to the Falcon regional our latest classic Ford color t-shirt with a Falcon on it FREE! (This is a 16.95 value)


This is kind of like getting a discount on the registration fee!

The sooner we get your registration the better we can plan the Regional.

Thanks, John

John,

Be sure to extend our gratitude to Trevor for making this gift to us. That was very kind of him and Dearborn.

I just sent in my regionals registration.

Hey Patrick, In case it's not already on your list of things to do, you ought to replace that image on the home page and the Regional page with the official one Kenny posted.

[Luva65wagon]

Nice Patrick... grassyass.

[Luva65wagon]

So here we are - one month to go. Any loose ends? Progress report? Am I forgetting to do anything someone thinks I should be doing?

[Nathan289]

I know I'm trying to work all the bugs out of the falcon..

Got it back together and have been driving it and notcied that.. A.. the tranny is a lot noisier than before i took it outof the car.. B that it now sounds like I have a through out/ clutch release bearing issue.. All though the parts looked fine I noticed that one of the retaining clips wasn't holding the bearing to the fork very well..
So I think I have a bearing rubbing on the pressure plate now..

Plus a few other small things that I'll fix..
Like I want to know why i have a back pressure popping when decelerating??? Timing is good carb tune is good..
