Spring Fling this year?

[HairDrier]

Bill where the Hell are you. Dont tell me you prefer TBcensor.com?

[HairDrier]

Knock knock anyone home?

[fishin lure]

I'll tell him to come on here & reply when I see him @ the Autorama sat.

[HairDrier]

Cool
I know he registered here but I dont think he's been back since

[Renthorin]

I have been chatting with Don about when would be good to meet. May seems too early (wet and cold) and October seems too late (cold). June is garduation party hell.....

Want to shoot for the middle of July?

PS - thanks Pat for pointing me here. I will see you Saturday.

[d0n_3d]

yeah being that my car won't even be finished until late may, early june anyways...july would be perfect for me...right now my garage floor is home to all my engine parts! :SHOCKED:

[HairDrier]

July will be a heavy boating month, if I buy another one :deal:

I say May or August, but May screws Don. Bill are you going to Norwalk in May? I am thinking about going, depending on my wife's pregnency (due end of May)

End of July may work too

[HairDrier]

Hey Bill I just saw it was your birthday

:add_best_ :birthday:

[Renthorin]

Bob, I will most likely go to Norwalk again this year. Had a lot of fun last year. I met two 'celebrities' -- father and son team featured in the ATR catalogue........hey....my life is boring what can I say????

August will work too but I was thinking of the heat and humidity factor.

I will let the masses decide.

[d0n_3d]

Hopefully I can make it to Norwalk as well...but I definitely won't be taking the GN...I haven't ever been to the Nats either so maybe I can try and make that as well...

[HairDrier]

Cool if we can hookup in Norwalk and have some brews I can probably hold off til July :beerglass

If my wife could just get this baby thing resolved...

[fishin lure]

Todd & I will be @ norwalk with Todd's car.

[HairDrier]

Hopefully I can make it to Norwalk as well...but I definitely won't be taking the GN...I haven't ever been to the Nats either so maybe I can try and make that as well...

Don have you started any work on your car yet?

[Renthorin]

Still thinking July would be good. May can be cold and wet..... June is graduation party hell...

So, if July is good for people let's decide on a weekend and a second as a 'rain date'.

10, 17, 24, 31??????

Would be cool to pick two that are back to back so it is easy to remember.

Makes no difference to me so let' hear from those who want to attend.

[HairDrier]

The 10th is the day before my anniversary, so that wont work too well. Any weekend after that is fine

[d0n_3d]

Don have you started any work on your car yet?

YES it's finally getting warmer...so I don't have to run the furnace in the garage as much (it costs an arm and a leg to run a heated garage all the time!)

so far I have the block all prepped for new headgaskets...if you haven't already noticed, I am going back to a mild setup this year because there's no way in hell I can afford a major rebuild...I will be going with a TA-49 turbo with 60 lb injectors and the motor is going to be untouched still with just valve springs...stock heads too...oh and lots of chrome under the hood :zahn:

the car should be done by middle next month, i ordered all the gaskets i need yesterday so i will start putting everything back together this weekend...

[HairDrier]

Why did you swap the 44 for a 49? They are pretty much the same. Did you want it stock appearing?

[Renthorin]

How about July 24th?

Do we want to do a rian date the following weekend (31) or just stick with 24th and take our chances?

Let me know so I can lay claim to the parking lot :-)

[d0n_3d]

Why did you swap the 44 for a 49? They are pretty much the same. Did you want it stock appearing?

you are correct sir...

well I sold the TE-44 and 50's a few months ago thinking I was gonna go huge with a rebuild...not the case anymore...so I figured while I had to rebuy some stuff...I might as well go major stealth approach this year and make everything under the hood look stock...that includes hiding my alcohol injection lines!

[Renthorin]

I have reserved the parking lot for July 24th.

Let me know ASAP if something major is happening that weekend or else consider that the date :-)

[HairDrier]

Sounds good Bill. We can keep the 31st for a rain date.

Don you never seemed the type for stealth. I think the huge BUICK in the back window kills your stealth :add_wegbr

[Renthorin]

Bob, do you post on turbobuicks.com at all? I do not so if you do, can you start a thread over there?

I will begin to e-mail all the people from the last two years and anyone else that has ever expressed interest.

Too bad we are not big enough to warrant door prizes from vendors!!! :-)

[HairDrier]

No, I havent posted over there in months. I think Don still does though. I will break my vow and put a post up there though

[HairDrier]

Bill are you going senile, you have a thread over there already

[fishin lure]

Bob, he asked about TBs not TB.
Bill, Todd & I should be there, I'll try to get Anthony to show up also.

[weeee_6]

Hey, is this a private party, or are you guys going to tell where this "parking lot" is? :rolleyes1

Bob

[Renthorin]

It is MOST public :-)

All are welcome.

Chelsea State Bank parking lot. Chelsea, MI. Exit 159 off of I-94.

Here is a pict of the lot. Top picture on the page...

As the date draws closer and I have a firm list of who is attending I will e-mail all and give specific directions.

We will meet at noon and stay until whenever.

I will have pizza and pop again as that seemed to go over well.

[HairDrier]

Bob, he asked about TBs not TB.
Bill, Todd & I should be there, I'll try to get Anthony to show up also.

Whoops :yessir:

[Renthorin]

Pat, is Anthony the one who goes by "fat Tony"?

Spread the word........

[fishin lure]

Yes Bill, he goes by fat tony.

[d0n_3d]

Sounds good Bill. We can keep the 31st for a rain date.

Don you never seemed the type for stealth. I think the huge BUICK in the back window kills your stealth :add_wegbr

sorry I haven't responded earlier...my cable internet went out for a week...comcast sucks and I am getting DSL

yeah it doesn't really matter...the turbo will only be on here a year anyways...I'm getting a TA-49 because I can easily bolt a wastegate without modification on and also the turbo shield fits better...I'm still hiding my alky lines...nobody will ever know!

btw I think the hood mounted fuel pressure gauge just gives my car away by itself...so it looks like I am SOL as far as the stealth approach...

BILL...is July 24th the set date then? that sounds a-ok with me...I don't know though this rear main seal is giving me a major problem...it may be months before I can get it out!!! :SHOCKED: :arco:

[Renthorin]

Yes, the 24th is the date. I have reserved the lot for us!!!!

[kwick6]

We are a liitle more than a month out and I would like to start getting an idea of who will be attending.

If you can make it.... please post so here.

[HairDrier]

I am still going to try and make it, even though I am GNless now. Still want to see everybody's rides

[Renthorin]

Hope you can make it Bob. I will put you on the list.

[Renthorin]

Anyone else? Hoping to catch people on this BB that are not on TB.com or the SY/TY forum.

[Renthorin]

Just got some GREAT news from KevinG -- he is bringing two of GM's Heritage cars along with his own GNX.

A 1970 455 GSX and GNX #1.

[Renthorin]
