No doubt, there were more qualified<br />

people that could have held the<br />

office, but here I am, the new<br />

President of the Maverick Region of the PCA.<br />

Looking back, it doesn't seem that long ago<br />

when it all started, when I first became a<br />

Maverick. While I have owned a wide variety<br />

of sports cars over the years, Austin Healy,<br />

Jaguar, several Triumphs, I always wanted a<br />

Porsche. Finally, in May of '98, I ordered one. After a seemingly<br />

endless wait, in Oct. of '98, I was the proud owner of a<br />

Silver '99 Boxster. That was all I would ever need. After a lot<br />

of help from patient Autocross, Time Trial, and Drivers<br />

Education instructors (too many good ones to mention them<br />

all) I was starting to feel like I (almost) knew what I was<br />

doing. At least, I usually wasn't the slowest one out there.<br />

Then the Boxster S came out - bigger engine, better<br />

brakes, improved suspension. I really "needed" one of those;<br />

in fact, it would be all I would ever need. More help from<br />

... I was the proud owner of a Silver '99<br />

Boxster. That was all I would ever need. ...<br />

more talented instructors and I was starting to go a little<br />

faster. If only I had "R" compound tires, I could really go fast.<br />

Of course, that requires an extra set of wheels, preferably<br />

lightweight, and, ideally, a little trailer to get them to and<br />

from the track. I recall several of us put hitches on our<br />

Boxsters in my garage. Now I was set; that was all I would<br />

ever need.<br />

By now, I was moving up to the faster run groups at DE's<br />

and, on occasion, turning a really respectable time at an AX<br />

or TT. The Boxster S was a daily driver, so there were limits<br />

to what I could comfortably do to the suspension, seats, harnesses,<br />

etc. If only I had a dedicated track car. That would be<br />

all I would ever need. That's when the white 968 came into<br />

the picture. When I first got the 968, I used the same small<br />

tire trailer I built for the Boxster S. Then I started dreaming<br />

of a "real" trailer to haul the 968; that would be all I would<br />

ever need. So I bought the trailer our esteemed editor had<br />

made for his trip to Parade in Florida. It towed great, but was<br />

a little heavy for my tow vehicle. So I obtained a lighter tiltback<br />

trailer with an aluminum deck. By the second trailer, it<br />

became obvious, I needed a tire rack and tool box built for<br />

the trailer, since club racing seems to require lots more<br />

"stuff ". By now, you know, that would be all I would ever<br />

need.<br />

However, since I am in the early stages of exploring a different<br />

tow vehicle, I have been counseled by several fellow<br />

racers to buy one with plenty of towing capacity, just in case<br />

the perfect enclosed trailer becomes available or a different<br />

race car enters the picture. If that happened, it would, for<br />

sure, be all I would ever need. At any rate, that's the semicondensed<br />

version of my Maverick timeline to date. Time<br />

sure flies when you’re having fun.<br />

Since our Presidential campaign was less hotly contested<br />

than the one with George and John, I didn't have to go out on<br />

a limb with a lot of wild promises. That should make life a little<br />

easier. I realize it will be difficult to improve on the great<br />

job Keith and others before him have done, so I will have the<br />

more modest goal of trying not to take too many steps backward.<br />

Since I have been in the club, we have always done a<br />

very good job of recognizing our AX and TT participants,<br />

both in <strong>Slipstream</strong> and at Founders Day. I would like to see<br />

us do the same good job regarding our Club Racers and DE<br />

participants and instructors. Hopefully, those involved in<br />

these events will support this effort with pictures and articles<br />

for <strong>Slipstream</strong>. If I should drop the ball or overlook important<br />

areas, I know I can count on you all to bring it to my<br />

attention. I look forward to <strong>2005</strong> and I hope you do as well.<br />

We should be back behind the wheel before we know it. I<br />

know I'll be ready…<br />

Word on the Street<br />

by Mike Holloway, Managing Editor<br />

I<br />

asked<br />

few guys I know from other parts of the<br />

country what they thought of their PCA chapters.<br />

Here is what they had to say.<br />

“Many PCA chapters have plenty of DE events<br />

and Club Races. Some like my region are too small to<br />

throw large events so they focus on eating, drinking<br />

and showing off cars.” S - Central Plains.<br />

“The Chicago Region has a very active chapter<br />

with events nearly every weekend. HPDE 1-2 per<br />

month, Rally's, AX, and socials fill all free time if you<br />

want to. The chapter's monthly mag? Ugh. I'm SO<br />

tired of seeing the same 15 people in the magazine.”<br />

C - Naperville, IL<br />

“Here in Fla the PCA is a great way to meet great<br />

people and there are enough events, DE and autocross<br />

to keep folks busy most months of the year. For the<br />

annual fee it's hard to beat.” D - South Florida<br />

“Mostly wine and cheezers showing off their prize<br />

cars. Few are involved in AX and more into Concours.<br />

I would much rather race than show. The regional<br />

mag is good enough. The ads and classifieds always<br />

help.” M -San D CA<br />

Involvement is the key - the more you do the<br />

better it gets. If racing isn’t for you, prehaps showing<br />

your Porsche would be fun. The Maverick chapter is<br />

also a great place to get involved in civic projects. If<br />

you have a passion for writing, contact <strong>Slipstream</strong>. We<br />

are alwasys looking for interesting articles to publish.<br />

Holiday Times in Mineral Wells<br />

Photo by Dennis Chamberlain<br />

by Lanean Hughes<br />

On a beautiful, sunny, Texas Sunday, December 19, 2004,<br />

a group of excited Maverick members were in Mineral<br />

Wells to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony for<br />

the new Hope Shelter. With the assistance of the Hope board<br />

members, staff members and administrator, Lisa Huffaker, we<br />

“lifted the dirt” at the new site. After a few brief introductions,<br />

Reverend Bumpus of the First Baptist Church lead a prayer to<br />

bless the land. It’s a dream becoming a reality. Following the<br />

ceremony we all then had Holiday sharing with the staff and<br />

clients from the shelter. The toys and stuffed animals that PCA<br />

members donated at the holiday party were given good homes<br />

and will be loved. Everyone enjoyed the great event. Helping<br />

those less fortunate is what WE<br />

are all about. We “Hope” that all<br />

the Maverick members will make<br />

a New Year <strong>2005</strong> commitment to<br />

our new project. Please help us<br />

secure the building materials<br />

needed for this shelter. We will<br />

continue to take donations<br />

throughout the year. This is<br />

Maverick’s ultimate project, and<br />

we want to share this with all our<br />

PCA friends around the country.<br />

Come be part of an exciting and<br />

rewarding project. We will soon<br />

be looking for volunteers to help<br />

with putting up dry wall, painting,<br />

as well as many other More Than Words Can Discribe.<br />

Happy Hour at Nuevo Leon<br />

by Dennis Chamberlain<br />

Happy Hour Crew: Dennis Chamberlain, Monda<br />

Degan and Mike Lockas<br />

Asmall but enthusiastic<br />

group of Mavericks<br />

attended the November<br />

18 Happy Hour at Nuevo Leon,<br />

as we approached the<br />

Thanksgiving Holiday. This<br />

was our first visit to Nuevo<br />

Leon since its recent change in<br />

ownership. An advantage that<br />

Nuevo Leon has to offer, in addition to a reasonably priced<br />

menu, is that Clarence and Lydia Wyatt always come.<br />

Another face that we hadn’t seen for awhile was Chris Smith.<br />

New members<br />

attending were Ken<br />

and Grace Strauther<br />

(’99 Carrera<br />

Cabriolet), who used<br />

to be members in the<br />

Southern California<br />

chapter when they<br />

owned a 912E, and<br />

James LaBarba. I<br />

don’t know if you<br />

can tell from the pictures,<br />

but James<br />

could have a second profession<br />

by doing Billy Crystal<br />

imitations.<br />

For the <strong>January</strong> 20th<br />

Happy Hour, we’ll be heading<br />

back to the Saltgrass<br />

Steakhouse in Irving.<br />

We’ll be the group gathering<br />

around the fireplace.<br />

Curves Ahead - Passion and Performance<br />

by Matt Platts & Mike Holloway, <strong>Slipstream</strong> Editor(s)<br />

Last month, Mike Holloway was introduced as the new<br />

Managing Editor for SLIPSTREAM. He contacted me<br />

several weeks ago with interest in the position. I was<br />

eager to talk to someone with experience and willingness but<br />

I was also apprehensive. We put a lot of time and energy into<br />

every issue, more so than many people realize. I didn't want<br />

to hand this over to just anybody. The following is the first<br />

conversation I had with Mike.<br />

SLIPSTREAM: I'm glad you have an interest in the<br />

publication, how long have you been a member of PCA?<br />

MH: About three months.<br />

SLIPSTREAM: Three Months? That's not very long,<br />

how long have you owned your Porsche?<br />

MH: Going on five months I guess, but I actually drove<br />

the car I own for awhile in grad school, about eleven years<br />

ago. A very good friend ended up buying her and kept her<br />

on the road with the agreement that I would have first<br />

refusal when it came time for him to give her up. That<br />

happened several months ago.<br />

SLIPSTREAM: What year and model?<br />

MH: She is a 1977 911 Targa ROW with a 2.7l engine.<br />

Various reliability upgrades have been made to her and for<br />

the most part she runs real well. A little surface rust in a few<br />

spots, but then again she was a Northeast car. She is in<br />

surprisingly good shape.<br />

SLIPSTREAM: You refer to your car as 'she', any<br />

reason?<br />

MH: Ya, kind of strange. I never really understood why<br />

people referred to their sailing vessels or performance<br />

vehicles as 'she' until I drove that car. After spending sometime<br />

in it, I think I understand. I can't really explain it.<br />

These cars are more than a means of transportation - they<br />

are a blend of passion and performance. The darn things<br />

have a soul. Let's face it, if you don't understand or respect<br />

them, you can get seriously messed up.<br />

SLIPSTREAM: The cars or the 'she's’?<br />

MH: Yes.<br />

SLIPSTREAM: OK, we will just leave it at that. What is<br />

your background? You mentioned grad school, what did<br />

you study?<br />

MH: I have a weird combination - a BA in philosophy,<br />

a BS in chemistry and an MS in chemical engineering.<br />

Nineteen years ago, I started in R&D, and then moved into<br />

product development, then sales and marketing. The past<br />

five years it's been a combination of all that.<br />

SLIPSTREAM: But you do desktop publishing now?<br />

MH: Only by default, I do technical development and<br />

reliability for a lubricant manufacturer. Awhile back, I spent<br />

many many hours working with the folks in our marketing<br />

and advertising departments on various projects I was spearheading.<br />

There were too many re-dos. Now I just do it all<br />

myself. It seems to save time. I speak at a bunch of conferences<br />

on original concepts and research that I have done in the field.<br />

I have a certain quality of work I like to present and a pace I<br />

work at. It's easiest for me if I can take it all on, delegate when<br />

needed but mostly punch through the rest myself.<br />

SLIPSTREAM: So why do you want this post? The time<br />

commitment is considerable and it is all voluntarily.<br />

MH: I just love to create - physically and intellectually.<br />

It's really a hobby for me. Also, I am one of those that<br />

really like the stress of a deadline. The more things I have<br />

going, the better I like it. I seem to be at my best when<br />

pushed to the limit.<br />

SLIPSTREAM: This will feed that need. Do you have<br />

a family?<br />

MH: I have a seventeen year old daughter that lives<br />

outside of Chicago with her mom, a five year old son and a<br />

two year old daughter that I have with Lisa, my wife of<br />

seven years. The little ones really like the Targa. I really got<br />

the car to work on with my son over the next ten years but<br />

I suspect that my littlest girl will want to get her hands dirty<br />

on it as well.<br />

SLIPSTREAM: Are you going to get involved in DE or<br />

racing?<br />

MH: Someday, but right now I want to get the car in<br />

shape. The engine is sound and she really doesn't weep any<br />

oil. The transmission could use some new bushings but<br />

that's about it for now. I will strip her down and clean her<br />

up cosmetically. We'll save the internals for when problems<br />

present themselves. For now, I'll just leave the engine well<br />

enough alone.<br />

SLIPSTREAM: So you must have read the 911 restoration<br />

article that appears each month?<br />

MH: Absolutely, it provided inspiration. The great<br />

thing about this community is that folks are really willing<br />

to share their insights and are not afraid of telling you their<br />

mistakes. I will try to do as much of the work as possible.<br />

There will be certain things that I just don't have the<br />

machines for. Those are the things I will have to farm-out.<br />

SLIPSTREAM: So what are some of the things that<br />

you are looking to change in SLIPSTREAM?<br />

MH: Not much of anything - it's a good read. I have a<br />

few article ideas that might be fun but nothing radical.<br />

Unless there is a ground swell of discontent (which there<br />

doesn't seem to be), I say leave well enough alone. You guys<br />

do a great job. I would feel privileged to be associated with<br />

this publication.<br />

SLIPSTREAM: We look forward to having you as part<br />

of the team.<br />

Maverick Driving Schools - Class of <strong>2005</strong><br />

By Tom Snodgrass<br />

Winter hiatus is nearly over! Are you ready for school? Maverick Region is sponsoring four driving schools to give you a taste of<br />

what competitive driving is all about. Though safety comes first, having fun is our goal for everyone. The focus this year is on<br />

Porsche drivers who want to learn more about driving their cars. Previous experience is not required. In fact, if you have taken<br />

the schools two times already, you have graduated. Please accept our congratulations! (Now we want you to volunteer to help put on the<br />

schools for the new people.) Students will receive full instruction from our excellent and experienced Maverick instructors. All schools are<br />

held prior to the start of the Autocross and Time Trial seasons to get you hungry for more!<br />

Ladies Only Autocross<br />

Pennington Field - Saturday, February 19, <strong>2005</strong><br />

This is our traditional ladies only school taught by our best lady<br />

drivers. Many of them are class winners at the Porsche Parade. Guys<br />

are just there to set up the course, work corners, and pick up cones<br />

during this very well organized school. Top speeds are lower, and all<br />

of the exercises are designed to help you learn about your car. There<br />

is plenty of time to gradually increase your speeds as your confidence<br />

grows. This is a great school for ladies that want to get ready<br />

for the driving season, or just “give it a try”.<br />

Autocross 102<br />

Mineral Wells – Saturday, March 5, <strong>2005</strong><br />

Though similar in organization to Autocross 101, the Mineral<br />

Wells venue allows for more and different exercises, and a larger<br />

Autocross course. Autocross 101 is not a prerequisite, so feel free to<br />

attend Autocross 102 even if you cannot make it to 101. Mineral Wells<br />

is the perfect location to explore the limits of your car. Students will<br />

learn what the car can, and cannot do, in a safe environment.<br />

Autocross 101 – Introduction<br />

Pennington Field – Sunday, February 20, <strong>2005</strong><br />

This school is the same format as the ladies only school the day<br />

before, but is open to the gentlemen as well. Ladies are welcome to<br />

join either day, or both! This school is the perfect introduction on<br />

how to attend an Autocross. Students drive exercises in the morning<br />

followed by a real Autocross in the afternoon. Students and instructors<br />

“work” the corners to gain experience as an observer as well as<br />

a driver. Fun runs at the end give volunteers and instructors a chance<br />

to join the fun as well.<br />

Time Trial 103<br />

Mineral Wells – Sunday, March 6, <strong>2005</strong><br />

This school provides a specific focus on the Maverick Time<br />

Trial courses. This school includes multiple laps on courses that<br />

are higher speed than the Autocrosses. Students learn higher speed<br />

handling and transitions in portions of the Time Trial courses in<br />

the morning. The afternoon is devoted to an actual Time Trial.<br />

General Info:<br />

The schools are expected to be<br />

sold out. We limit the number of students<br />

to ensure full instruction for everybody. This means:<br />

Register early to ensure your spot!<br />

The Porsche Club member cost is $35 for each school.<br />

(This must be the bargain of the century for instructed driving schools!)<br />

Non-Porsche Club and late registrations will cost $40.<br />

Porsche Club members that sign up more than 2 weeks in advance<br />

will have priority. Acceptance e-mails, along with school details, will be<br />

delivered approximately 2 weeks prior to the school.<br />

Helmets are required. They must have a SNELL 95 or SNELL 2000<br />

rating. If you don’t have a helmet, loaners will be available. You will be<br />

asked to purchase a head sock for a nominal charge (or bring your own).<br />

All cars must have a Maverick Region technical inspection prior to<br />

the schools. This ensures that any problems are fixed prior to showing up<br />

at the track. Inspections may be performed at Mayo Performance in<br />

Euless or Autoscope in Plano. Please contact Bill Miller at tt@mrpca.org,<br />

or Chuck Machala at ax@mavpca.org for more details.<br />

We need volunteers to help put on the school. Please consider<br />

“giving back” by helping out with setup, running, and taking down the<br />

event. We need you to register online so we know you are coming.<br />

For more information, or to register (students or volunteers), go to:<br />

http://www.pca.org/mav/Events/Schools.asp.<br />

If you have any questions, please contact Tom Snodgrass at drivingschools@mavpca.org<br />

or call at home 972-939-7967.<br />

Blastin’ the Bayou Club Race<br />

by Nitro Mueller (aka Bill Miller)<br />

It was wet and dreary as local Maverick Club Racers<br />

packed up and headed to Louisiana and the November<br />

21 Blastin’ the Bayou Club Race. A year earlier several<br />

Mavericks had run at No Problem Raceway and the word<br />

spread of the terrific track and warm hospitality of the<br />

Mardi Gras Region.<br />

... a combination of “whoohoo” high speed<br />

turns after the main straight...<br />

Most of us arrived on Thursday to unpack and<br />

settle in before the sun went down. Daylight arrival is<br />

especially important at NPR because this is a place that<br />

is not easy to find. It’s nestled between swamps and oil<br />

refineries outside Baton Rouge. We unpacked in the<br />

drizzle, got our cars into the garages and hoped for a<br />

clearing in the weather.<br />

We got the reprieve from rain we wanted on Friday.<br />

That meant good weather for open track sessions and,<br />

for rookies like me, a chance to learn the track. The 1.8-<br />

mile circuit is virtually flat but with a combination of<br />

“whoohoo” high-speed turns after the main straight and<br />

technical low speed sequences on the backside that keep<br />

it constantly interesting. After a day of driving we<br />

tucked into a trackside spread of tasty Cajun food and a<br />

live band that got even those of us with two left feet<br />

(better for braking, I’m told) on the dance floor. The<br />

Mardi Gras Region definitely knows how to throw a<br />

party.<br />

On Saturday the rain came back. We spent the day<br />

huddled in the garages and under trailer awnings while<br />

the rain alternated between showers and periods of outright<br />

deluge. I went out for just one afternoon session<br />

and found a combination of standing water and mud<br />

dragged on the track by cars that had made off-road<br />

excursions. The conditions got so bad that the Mardi<br />

Gras folks wisely closed the track early. We all headed<br />

Photo by Bill Miller<br />

for dinner and another evening of Mardi Gras Region<br />

hospitality and fun.<br />

On Sunday the rain turned to intermittent drizzle<br />

and we were able to drive. Qualifying was in the morning<br />

followed by two types of races. The first was a Sprint<br />

Race and the second was a Feature Race in what’s called<br />

a Formula Libre format. The Sprint uses a rolling start<br />

led by a pace car and your grid position is determined<br />

by your qualifying time. The Formula Libre is a handicapped<br />

format that starts each car individually in<br />

reverse order of its qualifying time. The car with the<br />

slowest qualifying time goes out first. The fastest qualifier<br />

goes out last and, in theory, if every car ran like it<br />

qualified, we’d all cross the finish line together.<br />

The racing was exciting and the Mavericks made a<br />

good showing, but the best thing about a Club Race<br />

weekend is the people. It’s a chance to spend time with<br />

friends and meet racers from other regions. The Mardi<br />

Gras Region deserves kudos for the hard work that went<br />

into 2004 Blastin’ the Bayou, for its volunteers and<br />

workers who braved the elements, its Cajun hospitality,<br />

Early 911 Restoration: No. 5<br />

Photo by Charles Freeman<br />

by Charles Freeman<br />

Let me start this month’s update with a disclaimer, “Don’t<br />

Try This At Home”. After about a year into this project I<br />

am becoming quite discouraged. It seems every time I go<br />

to work on the car I end up taking parts off but never putting<br />

anything on. I will also add the words of wisdom, “don’t<br />

purchase a non-running car because it is cheap thinking you<br />

will restore it” those words I should have heeded. Anyway the<br />

drudgery continues.<br />

Photo by Charles Freeman<br />

As you saw last time I had removed the floorpan by drilling<br />

out some spot welds and using an air hammer to separate body<br />

panels. Because I used the air hammer there was a lot of distortion<br />

of the panel flanges so I had to straighten these out. Also, it left<br />

a lot of excess metal on the flange so I needed to grind this off.<br />

Up to this point of the project my angle grinder has become one<br />

of my most valuable tools. I can put sanding disks on it to<br />

remove paint, cutting wheels to cut metal, and grinding wheels<br />

to smooth rough surfaces. I bought a high quality Dewalt and it<br />

has yet to fail me. One note of caution, beware of loose clothing<br />

when using the grinder. The “on” button locks in place so you<br />

don’t have to fatigue your thumb by holding it down.<br />

One time I had on a Tyvek jacket (like the white suits you<br />

see people wearing when making silicon wafer chips) which I<br />

thought I had tucked back. I was using the grinder and a knotted<br />

wire wheel and I guess I was “zoning out” while grinding away<br />

at the undercoating when I felt a powerful “whack” in my ribs.<br />

I looked down and could see the Tyvek coat had gotten caught<br />

in the wire wheel and the grinder had pulled itself up the jacket.<br />

It was inches away from my face buzzing violently as it was<br />

fully energized. I lucked out because it could have gone right to<br />

my face and shredded my cheek. Instead, I ended up with a<br />

painful bruise and a good lesson. Never let boredom set in when<br />

working with power tools! Once the weld flange surfaces were<br />

ground smooth I used a hammer and dolly to straighten the<br />

flanges. I would find out how critical this was later. This also<br />

gave me an opportunity to check the quality of the emergency<br />

brake, accelerator, and clutch cable as these are completely<br />

exposed from underneath the center tunnel.<br />

The floorpan I bought was painted with a green primer<br />

coat to prevent it from rusting. Welding through this primer<br />

would reduce the quality of the weld. So I removed the paint<br />

along the welding flange areas and painted it with a weldthrough<br />

primer. That is why in some areas of my floorpan are<br />

green and others are silver. I took this opportunity to spray<br />

Eastwood’s Rust Encapsulator on the exposed underside of the<br />

car. In order to blend the new floorpan into the car I had to<br />

make a template of where I cut the old floorpan out of the car<br />

and transfer to the new pan.<br />

Well, I made a template, checked, re-checked, and checked<br />

again. This was done by taking measurements from fixed points<br />

as a reference around the body. The scenario goes like this: crawl<br />

on your back under the car, stretch your arms as far as you can<br />

to reach a bolt hole, stretch the tape measure out, watch it snap<br />

back into your face, place it on the hole again, snap back into<br />

your face, cuss a little, and so on. This was repeated countless<br />

times because I knew I would only have one chance to cut the<br />

new floorpan. Anyway, I figured I would err on the positive side<br />

and cut away a little less than my template showed, place the<br />

new piece onto the car and check the fit. I started to use the<br />

grinder with a cutting wheel to cut the floorpan but found it<br />

took way too long for my patience so I resorted to a Sawzall<br />

(big industrial jig-saw). Now I finally had the new floorpan<br />

ready to place on the car. Hmm, one person lifting a 4 foot by 6<br />

foot sheet of metal and holding it on the car body, upside down,<br />

would be challenging. I laid several sets of vise grips around the<br />

outer panel flange of the car on the garage floor. I lifted up the<br />

floorpan then laid down on my back with this on top of me.<br />

I shuffled my body on the floor, kind of like a worm I guess,<br />

until I was under the car. Well then I had to lift it off my chest<br />

and hold it in place while I clamped it.<br />

So envision this, I use my knees, head and one hand to push<br />

the floorpan into position on the car. Did I mention this was<br />

heavy? With the free arm I stretched out, felt around and found<br />

a vise grip, then clamped the floorpan and car body flange<br />

together. I then took one foot to kick another vise group close<br />

to my hand and I clamped it to the car on the opposite side.<br />

These two vise grips are not strong enough to hold the heavy<br />

floorpan so I had to get about 10 vise grips positioned all<br />

around the car. With the floorpan finally in place I extracted<br />

myself from the car. My wife happened to be in the garage at the<br />

time and she thought I looked pretty funny with the indention<br />

of the floorpan in my forehead. After a few choice words she<br />

decided to go into the house. After all the work of measuring<br />

the template and being careful to leave sufficient overlap in the<br />

front of the floorpan I realized I must not know how to read a<br />

ruler. Most of the length where the old floorpan joins the new<br />

20


Photo by Charles Freeman<br />

had about an eighth inch gap. Oh well, too late now. I figured<br />

my best option would be to buy some sheet metal, overlap the<br />

old and new sections of floorpan and weld that into place. I<br />

would do this after I welded the floorpan in place.<br />

As I previously mentioned, I removed most of the floorpan<br />

using an air chisel that left the flange severely distorted. This is<br />

why you don’t do that. Once the floorpan was clamped to the<br />

car I found I had to spend more time with a hammer and dolly<br />

to get the new and old flanges to meet correctly. If these are not<br />

in intimate contact the weld will not be good. Anyway, this took<br />

a lot more of my time but also gave me the chance to reflect on<br />

how best to weld this into place. My original plan was to drill<br />

the spot welds of the old floor pan out from the car body side.<br />

Photo by Charles Freeman<br />

Why do it this way? Simple. After the old floorpan is<br />

removed I would be left with a lot of little holes in the flanges<br />

on the car body. When the new floorpan is in place all I have to<br />

do is plug weld from the side where the hole is. To make my<br />

very long story short, once I was ready to weld I just had to lean<br />

over the car and start welding on the flange of the center tunnel.<br />

Very easy to reach, and I wasn’t lying on my back! While welding<br />

I alternated sides and front to back so as not to build up too<br />

much heat in the sheetmetal. Well let’s just say it wasn’t perfect<br />

but came out pretty good. Where there was good contact I<br />

made a nice “puddle” in the center of the drilled hole and overlapped<br />

the edges to “capture” the new floorpan. I then went<br />

around the outside of the car on the flange just below the door.<br />

Again, real easy to get to.<br />

Unfortunately, I learned that welding with jeans that<br />

have holes in them doesn’t stop the molten metal from searing<br />

your skin.<br />

East Texas Maze Tour (minus the maze)<br />

by Marjy Chadwick<br />

November 21, 2004 I guess the threat of rain kept most<br />

people home, as only seven cars showed up for the East<br />

Texas Maze Tour. But they were seven of the best. Ted<br />

& Bonnie Glover were in their black 1977 Turbo, followed by<br />

Andy & Cindy Miller in their silver 2004 Turbo Cabriolet. We<br />

were all glad to see Andy as he had just gotten out of the<br />

hospital on Friday. Jim and I were in our new (new to us) blue<br />

2002 C4S. After us was CJ and his neighbor Carl in CJ’s 1997<br />

red 993 C4S, and then Jim Mayzurk & Mimi Grant in Jim’s<br />

beautiful blue 928. Jim had just gotten his car back after<br />

having had the master cylinder repaired. Retirement must<br />

really agree with Jim, as he looks happy and relaxed.<br />

Following him was Frank in his black 2002 C4S. (Go C4S’s)<br />

Frank showed us all his new sport exhaust. When he flips the<br />

switch, it really has a great sound. Finally, the caboose was<br />

Douglas in his black Mini.<br />

roads with nothing around and then all of a sudden, bam –<br />

there is this beautiful golf course and country club. The club<br />

was lovely and the staff members were very accommodating.<br />

We all got a big laugh when Ted had the waiter serve<br />

Andy 6 shakers of salt and a shot of Gatorade. Andy has a<br />

problem with his sodium and is on a high salt and low liquid<br />

diet. After lunch we had a little time to let our food settle<br />

as we waited for Ted to put air in his tires. Some of us<br />

take care of this before the tour, but I guess Ted feels he can<br />

do a better job with a little portable air pump.<br />

Porsche Friendly Eagles Bluff Country Club For Lunch<br />

The roads were wet when we started out, but by midmorning<br />

had dried out. The trees were all turning and the<br />

colors were beautiful. With all the rain we have had, Moore<br />

Farms (where we were going to go through the cornfield<br />

maze) was a muddy mess. It’s not the type of place you<br />

want to take a bunch of Porsches. So we decided to spend a<br />

little extra time driving on the back roads of east Texas.<br />

We stopped in Bullard on Lake Palestine at the Eagles<br />

Bluff Country Club for lunch. This place was out in the<br />

middle of nowhere. We drove along these back country<br />

Even P-Cars Need A Break!<br />

What makes these tours so interesting are all the little<br />

towns we go through as we transverse the back roads. They<br />

all have their unique yard art, mailboxes, and bird houses.<br />

You never know what you will find or see. While going<br />

through the town of Frankston, we passed a little Ford dealership<br />

and on the showroom floor was a Ford GT. Who<br />

would guess in such a little town? Going through Grand<br />

Saline, we passed the Morton Salt facility. Under the city<br />

there is a salt dome that is 1.5 miles across and 16,000 feet<br />

thick. This one facility could supply the world’s need for<br />

salt for 20,000 years. Who knew? Around Forney we<br />

stopped to say our good-byes and then head home. This is<br />

always the sad part, as we all hate for the day to end.<br />

Wonderful friends, exciting cars, beautiful scenery, what<br />

more could you ask for?
