Back in 2018 we did a live remote broadcast from the MALBA car show in Whitestone
Queens, with this being the second hour. The show was a hit even due to the rain, and some special guests like Gary the Local Brush, Auto Crimes Cliff, and the host, Billy Velvet joined us in our safe bunker and gave us some great commentary and history about this fantastic show. -
The boys were all set for a rousing hour of conversation with one of their favorite P.R. and Advertising men, Marty Schorr, formerly of Motion Performance, when technical difficulties struck. Having Billy G. in the meeting kept the show alive, and Marty was eventually able to join in and talk about his upcoming "Team Zora" Motorsports Corvette reunion to be held in Italy next year. A caller tells a story of how he regularly sees an original Motion BelAir in one of our local towns and naturally we want to know more about it.

Chris poses a question about having a used car looked at pre-purchase and Ray
offers quite a few reasons why this is a good idea. Ray ran into an interesting problem when
bleeding the brakes on a new disc brake install on a Mustang, and brought in the specialty
measurement gauge he used to verify and solve the "no pedal" issue. It was learned that
tearing down the top end of an Olds 455 is easier said than done, or Ray is just getting old.

The carpet conundrum in Chris' Tracker is fixed, only to be eclipsed by a rodent infestation. Our good friend Kilowatt Kevin gets the Endura nose on his 68 GTO aligned by "the old school master", Steve, at Celebrity Chase Collision, then helps Ray re-install the gas tank in the 70 442 at the shop.
