Event Coverage Official 2016 Meltdown Drags Thread - What are you doing to get ready?

I thought this thread needed some sprucing up.

 

Just so you know how we roll. If you go through Camdenton Mo stop at pepperoni bills have to be one of if not the best thin pizza ever.

 

Dang...I thought for sure someone in Springfield would have bought the soap box car...

 

Sure would have been cooler if they would have. Oh well gives me time to pant it before the next one.
Hey Randy it was great to get to meet up put a face with a name.
Your cars is going to be sick.
And I did try to sale the car to Bill.

 

Took the 55' to Fast Eddies in McHenry, IL on Sunday to get it detailed...! Decided while its there the clean & organize Jens garage, ER Um I mean the Gasser garage...! I had hoped they'd have it ready before snow came but No luck! Luckily they said pick it up Monday after work... It's quite possibly the best it's ever looked...! [emoji106]. I'm ready for the World of Wheels show with the Meltdown Crew...!

 

Make some racks with wheels to put all the stuff on so when you want to work on the car you can roll the stuff out and in as needed.

 

While car was out I filled the rafters with parts & wheels... LOL... I may have to try & hook up with Norb again in Spring for Jefferson Swap Meet in April & try to get rid of some stuff...! LOL...

 

Classic Chevy Club swap meet March 6, 2016 at the Manitowoc County Expo Center.

 

So did you just make a quick trip there to get yet one more piercing ?

 

You need bigger wheels on the back of your soap box car.

 

Isn't that what to do to loose weight.
I picked out the biggest grommets they had.

 

...more pics from last year...

 

A few more from last year.

 

And a few more.

 

So cool

 

x2

 

Here's a few Meltdown pics at WOW Show in Milwaukee. Setting up & cleaning cars...

 

Nice display at WOW's. Who's black coupe?

 

Man you guys are killing me with all the great photos! I have the fever so bad right now I can taste it. Great display set up as well....Hey Big Slim, don't worry I have had the same problem with that foaming fix a flat! LOL!

 

Zettle-

That is one of Joe Maresh's cars, he has the blue 38 Chevy coupe that has been at the Meltdown the past few years.

A very cool car

 

Hope to see it at this years Meltdown.

 

Already registered with my 48 Austin...
BUT have just purchased a roller FED!!!

Wonder if the rail is ready if the powers that be will let me swap cars?

 

thats my coupe! probably wont be at the meltdown, I normally bring my chev to race at meltdown.

 

Also on my dance card are:

-Okie Doker (obviously)
-Tickety Boo (Norb's been busy,this will be one to watch!)
-Ron G's super clean gold Charger
-That blue 63 Galaxie NSS car
-Yesterday's Child (always wanted to race Ric & Marc and get a few pics)
-Wrenchbender's mean lil Willys truck
-anything that looks like it would have been in the lanes with "SS" written on the window in '65/'66

Come on Scott, why would you pick on me and my (green by the way) 4,000 lb grocery getter?

 

Is that a Hemi charger? The very first hemi equipped car I ever rode in then got to drive was a Black/black one like yours.

 

Ain't a HEMI ! But a strong running Big block!!!

 

Not a Hemi car. 383 badges on the fenders....

 

It's a Wedgamacallit! By the way 66-67 Chargers are my favorite years. Our uncle Roger had a White/Red interior 383/Torque Flight model he used to tow his 55 B/Gasser with.

 

Has all entry approvals been sent out? I don't think we got one yet

 

A'ight lunger...let's do it!
