    Announcing the Charity day for the Benefit of the Boys and Girls clubs of Delaware. Every year for going on five years now we have raised money throughout the year to throw a Christmas Party for the Kids at the Boys and Girls club. Its a great time both raising the money and then throwing the party in December. The kids get to see Santa and usually get a couple of gifts each. In some cases this is the only gift giving these children experience. Its unfortunate but true that some in our own community just dont have the money to celebrate like you and I have come to expect. Well we do something about it and have fun in the process. So in conjunction with Dupont Motorsports, Delaware PCA, BMW clubs and Ferrari chat we have arranged a spectacular day.The weather gods are behind this event as well because the current forecast is for sunny skies with a high of 79 degrees. Bring on the horsepower BABY!!! We will be running cars on the dyno at a cost of $60 for three pulls. For those not in the know this is a fraction of the true cost. Dupont Motorsport is donating the dyno and 100% of the proceeds go to our charity. We are also bringing in "Johnny Dents" to demonstrate the technique of Paintless Dent removal. In addition anyone who wants that pesky dent removed can sign up at the event and 100% of the proceeds go to our charity. We will also be presenting Chris "the detail guy" of Ferrari Fame to demonstrate proper detailing technique. We have cleared out the building and will be bringing in cars on a first come first serve basis.You can detail your car along with "The detail Guy" and get his helpfull advise. He will not and does not sell product but is driving all the way from Washington DC at his expense so hats off to Chris"The detail Guy". Lastly yours truly will be demonstrating in a tech session the technique of changing brake pads and bleeding brakes. This is a simple enough procedure you can learn to do yourself and does not require a lift to perform. For the benefit of the audience however we will be using a lift to demonstrate. It all starts around 8:30 AM and runs until 7:00 PM. Come when you can and stay as long as you would like. Refreshments are provided compliments of Dupont Motorsports and Jeff Littel. A few dyno spots are still available one in the morning two in the late afternoon so call me at 302-463-4516 if you have an interest. Hope to see you all Saturday August 18th (yes thats THIS SATURDAY). Address is 12 Hadco Rd Wilmington DE. 19805. thanks for taking the time for the less fortunate among us... Jon Walton

    Dave,
    Too bad I'm in Bama right now. I could have given you some stuff to seal the fuel tank. We use it on aircraft, it's designed to stop fuel leaks.

    This was like a dime sized hole that was patched with JB Weld. I'm not sure another patch would have done it any good, but since it's out, we'll fix it right, repaint with the wurth tan coating, and away we go!!!

    Jon, Thought the answer was already here, but I think you were applying the Sticker from the run on your windshield.

    Started out as a small hole, then someone in the past tried to tig it, and made it bigger, then patched with JB Weld.

    Gonna end up about a quarter sized patch, but we'll be right as rain in a week or so.

    And now, some highlights.

    first, a big thanks to Detail Guy. Chris came a long way to show us how to get our cars to look good, as good as a non-professional can be.

    Here Chris demos his 30 minute wheel washing routine.

    Now Jon will take a shot at it. (Later, Chris re-washed the wheel properly) we all went along with Jon on this one, applauding the excellent work he did.

    Next up, Johhny Dents. This man can work miracles with a dent. And yes, that is a hammer he's using in the picture. But when he's done, it's like the dent was never there.

    John and Chris wowed the crowd with their skills. Here Chris fascinates a bunch of wanna be buffers with his bug removal skills.
