[TPR] Car Porn - Prep for SSCC 2015 09 05

[Bob Radefeld]

Looks like you're pretty much all ready to go play with Dawgy @ SSCC
Asa........GREAT job! FYI, just keep an eye on that push on connector on
your temp sender. Mine worked its way off from vibration(?) several times
on me over the years to the point that I ended up cutting it off &
replacing it with a ring terminal & double nutting it. PIA but hasn't given
me any trouble since.... :o))
