Thanks my man yeah it blew my mind when the guy walked up my driveway with a jalopy journal hat on lol, we played a guessing game for a minute, after a few clues i guessed who he was. Of course Bill knew he was lol. Told a few stories and went out to eat. Great guys, proud to have them here, and everybody else that gets to make the trip!

 

You trade for chickens old man? you guys be safe, I can't wait to see you all. Give me a yell when you get close.

 

Hey at least one of you can get out and socialize

 

Be safe man, lot of members along the way that have your back. I'll be glad to shake your hand when you get here!

 

I believe I've got your pulleys, I'll throw it all in and if you can use them they're yours. I've got a set of 28-29 sedan fenders, cool steering wheel, 3 speed Saginaw with a floor shifter on it, some tri five bits, other small stuff, I'll look harder in the morning. Can't wait to meet ya man!

 

He left his ticket book at home, plus I'll give him alcohol

 

Thanks brother James! Wish you could've made the trip!

 

I gotcha buddy, just giving you some shit

 

Folks, it's here! Almost a year in the plans, couple more days and you won't have to see this thread anymore

 

party on dudes!!!!!!!!
wish I was there. almost did the OT thing but I just couldn't live with myself if I did.

 

Already having fun and it ain't even officially started. And I have met a moderator in person. And guess what? They're just like us. Lol.
Looking forward to meeting all the others that are coming.
Unfortunately, I might not be able to stay the whole weekend. My Wife's brother has just started Hospice home care, and we need to get down to see him. Not sure if we will leave Sat or Sun. But what ever time I get to spend here, I know will be fun. Ron

 

Have a good time!
With you all in spirit.

Wish I could have made it there earlier.
We are leaving in an hour traveling the Ohio and kentucky back roads

Glad the weather cooperated!!

 

“Sorry the place is trashed, Dad”.
“Quit yelling Dad, they all came over in cars”

 

Hey all…take note of what Alan is driving, maybe even take some pics of the vehicle.
If we don’t hear from him in a few weeks,,it means he got lost again and is just driving around the US looking for a familiar exit.
Maybe someone will stick a GPS tracker on the vehicle, just to be safe
