This many. Took the 4sp to a car show yesterday and it rained hard for a while. The trunk seal leaks some so I opened the trunk today to air it out and decided to remove the original lower qrt drain plugs. Started using some air and about an hour later this is what materialized. All of this was from the pass side and the drivers side was fairly clean. Wish someone would have lost a roll of silver dimes instead.

The car show was at the Flaming Gorge Resort. It is just a fun event with no entry fee or awards. I suppose there were about 150 cars and only one was a Buick. Was surprised though because I had a few folks come by and knew what they were looking at. Also, this is probably just me but I really don't get bringing a new car to one of these shows. If I want to see a 2015 Corvette I will go down to the Chevy dealership.

There were a lot of "new"show cars in St. ignace this year too. I am actually tired of rat rods and catalogue cars...if it is not work to achieve it,I would rather not see it in a car show. Detroit has new car shows every year so if you want to see them,that would be the place to go. There was a nice red 65 Skylark convertible, but I did not see the owner. Overall it was a decent show this year. Local law enforcement has hindered a lot of return cruisers. They were known to be a little too harsh for noise and other infractions the last several  years. It looks like you found an eBay parts lot in that quarter. Dan
