Avanti Owners Association International 2024 Detroit Convention registration links follow:
Online meet registration
https://aoai.org/shop/aoai-2024-detroit-international-meet/
Meet info and schedule

Driving tours
https://aoai.org/aoai-2024-detroit-driving-tours/
The link to reserve a room at the host hotel is in the Meet Info and schedule page and also on the registration page, as it's a long URL address - best to link the hotel room reservation from either of the two pages above.

Many thanks, Bill

I'm looking at adding disc brakes on the rear of my 1963 R1, standard shift. What to watch for?

It is my understanding that 1963 R1s with a/c had seven blade engine fans and were painted orange, some call it "Chevrolet orange". What says the forum? Is there a paint code? Further, non-a/c cars had five blade engine fans and were painted black. And, the forum says...
