Anyone know if Jeff Carter is around these days or enjoying some time
off?
Been trying to reach his shop and haven't heard back in a couple of
weeks.
Thanks!

John,
My only experience with re-lining brake shoes was about 7 years ago I took
a
set for a 55 Buick to my local NAPA store in Timmonsville, SC and they
sent
them out to get relined. It took about three weeks and when they
returned, the
fit and function was excellent.

John,
Your neighbor Andy Bernbaum has the shoes for a
reasonable price. You'll just need to find someone to
grind them. Perhaps Andy can recommend someone in
your area.
Also, Richard Osborne had posted that he has a brake
and clutch guy in Columbus, OH who will do it all...

Subject: Found a 300 C, need help
Hello everybody
I usually live in Italy, but I am on vacation now in Arizona, and today
happened to find a restorable 300 C. Car is a bit rusty on the quarters
and the floors, but the price is too good to leave the car . Problem is, I
saw no VIN plate. The body tag is on its place on the radiator support,
but no VIN plate. Assuming the engine has not been changed, from the
engine number is possible to determine the original VIN number? Or maybe
from the data plate? I know there is a hidden number on the frame, but
can't check it out now.
I am leaving on tuesday, so will have to have this matter solved rather
quickly. Thank you for any help
Antonello Jelitro , from sunny and hot Phoenix.

Subject: 300 owners in Minesota orWisconsin?
I am trying to trace/verify the early history of my 300 C, that the club
apparently knows as the Flying Mile Car.
1. Does anyone live near Fond Du Lac - can supply any detail of what it
was
like in 1957? The supposed original owners were Dan and Ernie Turskey of
Fond Du Lac Wisconsin, and the car was supplied by Joe Bacchus Chrysler
who
helped fit a McCulloch supercharger to then run on Daytona Beach 1957.
2. A search on the internet brought up nothing on Joe Bacchus Chrysler,
but
the spelling may be different, or else they have closed, or now have a
different name. Anyone live near there, or any clues how to track them,
anything about them, back then?
3. Does anyone in the club own, or know of, an earlier 300 (most likely 55
if they were 6 volt) that was owned by the Turskeys - amongst paperwork is
a
May 1956 warranty claim to McCulloch when it was still at West Olive St
Inglewood CA (to a John Thompson) for a claim on the supercharger fitted
to
an earlier 300 they then owned.
Also in the parerwork is a pencil notation indicating that this earlier
blower was traded in on the blower fitted to their new 300C being built
for
Daytona. The present owner of this '55 300 may not realise it had a
blower
fitted if it later removed when sold - that is if the car still exists?!
The only reason I think the first 300 was 6 volt is that is the voltage
indicated on the hand drawn wiring diagram re the electric blower hi speed
solenoid.
4. The 300C was seemingly sold by original race brothers about 1977 to a
Carl Reirson of Ford St Monona - does anyone know of him, what his current
status, last known?
Any help appreciated, gave it a polish and started it yesterday, but a
real
mongrel wet day here, so left it at that for then.
aussie christopher.
