Car Projects
Bill Kalafut has an inventory of car parts that we have in the club so that you should call him before ordering parts from Moss or Victoria. A good way to save money and for the club to earn some money.
Jim Evans discussed the “Pick Apart” car in his driveway and this weekend Oct 20 and 21st is the last time to be able to get parts from the car before it is going to the scrap yard.
Phil Wydra talked about an electrical problem with his B, probably the alternator, which is new and not working.

    Corrections & Clarifications

    Accuracy is important to the CMGC Driveline staff and I want to correct mistakes promptly. It was noted in last month's issue of Driveline that a MGB Peoples Choice award was given to Melissa Perez. The correct recipient was Melissa Gonzales for her 1979 black MGB LE. We regret the error.
