The front row wasn't like high school for Wes Bradburn's tech session.
(Wes is on the right in the photo.) These guys came to learn!
Wes has loads of experience from his business days building production
machinery for bending tubing. Even one fellow, who works all day with
tubing, commented on how he learned something, too. Wes showed how to
choose tubing, cut it, flare it ("The first thing to do when flaring tubing
is to put the fitting on."), and bend it accurately.
John McLeod and Zac Compton came to Horton's from Classic Instruments and
gave an informative talk on choosing, installing and troubleshooting instruments.
(Classic makes instruments, not gauges. A gauge is the stick
a restorer puts in his Model "A" gas tank to check the fuel level; an
instrument is the dial on the dash that accurately tells you how much is in the tank.)
Classic has developed many new and exciting bezels and faces over the past
few years. Custom artwork can be developed so your instruments match the
theme and colour of your car.
Zac and Paul gave out lots of door prizes from Classic,
Pete & Jake's, Street & Performance, and Horton's.
Everyone got a free lunch and went home a winner.
