56KUSTOM ..... I hope to meet you down there this year. As for where it's located and how to get there? AV8Paul said it best when i asked the same thing last year: "Hey Mike, Glad you're going to make it again this year. the new place is high and dry...no dirt road to get in. No street address. Just take 495 south get off on 195 go to exit 20 (RT 105), take a right at the end of off ramp. You'll go by the old location, turn right at the lights (RT 6), go about 1/4 mile. It's on your right. Screw mapquest. Ha See ya there."
mike, i'm just looking for the flyer so i can print it out.Hooks going with us & i told him i'd get a flyer. JimV
Well here we go again. Whats up with weddings on this week end ? Last year I had a wedding to go to but wash able to make it to the show but this year the wedding is in Rochester N.Y. So looks like i won't be able to make it this year. WTF Mike take lots of pics. again this year. And don't be talking to Keith about going to the doctor this year you will only get worked up for nothing. LOL
I thought you said you had to take a double dose of Geritol for this show??? haha I'm glad to see you finally came around, this is a great show with tons of early cars. Now that I've got a hitch on the '37, I might even hook up the boat and bring it. Thanks for the directions Mike, I probably would have got lost! haha I'll see you guys there. hahaha...I forgot all about that. I think Mike's already has monthly appointments scheduled cause it felt sooo good that first time!! Don't worry, we'll get him prepped! Skip the wedding, there will always be more. Just send the gift with your wife, she'll understand. If you want, have her call me if you want, I'll get it all worked out for you. We're always here for you buddy!
Blow it off, weddings don't last anyway.They'll be divorced by the time you drive back to Cumberland!!Save your money.!! JimV
October 20th is the same day at the Hot Rod Fallout in CT.....isnt it? I think I have a flier for the 'Faithful' show on my website.... http://www.chop-shopcustoms.com/shows/lNewEnglandSpeed.pdf
Great Show, last year was the first time for me, and I got there late. My Henderson 4 Midget will have the new wheels this year. Ben Bragg will have a seminar on building 4 Banger race motors, that should be worth the trip alone.
Yea it's the same day, but there's plenty of time to make it to both. Start off at the Gathering and then head to Charlies from there. What an awesome day of hot rods this is going to be...I can't wait!!!!
Your right!! i think we should call it"Hotrodstock"!!We better get the defibulator out for Mike!!lol "CLEAR"!!!! JimV
jim - did you get a flyer for larry yet? jack wegman sent one to me in e-mail and i printed it and stuck it in the coupe. let me know if you still need it.

The Fall Out starts @ 11am and goes all night. This year is going to be huge! So hit the show in Mass and then come on down to our show in CT Cheers Matt
John- you need parts at all? Im sure we have some shit in the basement .. Lenny has the entire stock of Danchuk and more down there..... Boxes and Boxes of stuff I never venture into...
That's my plan, the Gathering and then the Fall Out...what a day this is going to be!! Jimv, are you guys still planning the same this year?
I hope to make it unless something unexpected comes up. my car is all apart so I wont be bringing it this year
its coming down to the *wire* hahaha 2 days to install a complete wiring harness, can we do it again?!?? hope so! see ya there with or without the 55!
