"Scrap Drive"...only 3 months away!

Only 2 months to go til the 2nd annual "Scrap Drive" traditional rod & custom show & swapmeet, June 7th,...hosted by the Tin Butchers, Inc.
...held at the Boone County fairgrounds in Belvidere Illinois.

...our club scoped out a new band (new to us) and it looks like there's a good chance we will get them lined up to play at our show.
They are really good; more info on this as it comes in.

..are you ready for the "Scrap Drive" ?

Check out the HAMB calendar or go to www.scrapdrive.com for more info.

 

Yea Sam, can't wait myself for the show to begin, we had a great turnout last year, thanks to all that came, correction on the site--www.thescrapdrive.com or www.tinbutchers.com for more info.

 

imma try to make it this yr sam! as long as that scott guy isnt there! everytme im around him , he humps my leg!

imma put your site on our club site when i have a chance! [meanin when the guy thats smarter then me,] puts it on there!

 

only 3 months dang it i don't have much time to get the 59 together .

 

I hope I can find some parts for my new deuce tudor project at the swap meet. There was a geat turnout of vendors last year.

Great traditional rides, a swap meet and entertainment, what more can you ask for.

 

I went last year it was a good show , I'll definately be there this year

 

You know it is all good Todd. Let me out and that what happens.

Free beer and pin-ups maybe. Oh yea a rumble between the Kropdusters and Vagabonds is always fun to watch too.

 

I will try and have the 49 p/u there this year. sounds like a great time and I'm lookin for some shows that are outside of my "show" car shows around here.

 

Here's some pics from last year's Scrap Drive.. Great Time!

Dang, I gotta get in gear. I still have a lot of wok to do to have the sedan painted for the show

 

yeah, to see who can out drink each other!

 

im plannin on this completely now. It just happens my fiance wants to go also. Our anniversary is two days after so we are going to spend the weekend in Chicago area to celebrate.

PM me if anyone has any good ideas or advice for getting there... I WILL BE THERE!!!!

now i just need to get the truck done.

JC

 

Hey PoPo thats cool. What you need good ideas for, anniversary? scrap drive? LOL he he Just messin with ya. Hope to get to meet you there.

kool

 

Im good with the Anniversary. She can be my co-driver. lol

I was reading the rule board from last years event. Is it strictly enforced, because I might have a non-era friendly motor in the truck if everything works out. just curious.

Not sure which motor is going in the truck

I was thinking also, I love having a truck, if i find something at the swapmeet I wont need a trailer or so to bring it home!!!

 

Hoping i will be ready in time... Look familar rusty1?

 

Popo, just keep the hood shut

Jerry B, hey that looks purty cool, you gonna drive it up to the show?

 

Yep leave the hood shut if it not 'trad." friendly. lol

Yea the only problem with a truck on trips is what to do with the bags and other stuff when there is two of ya. But it makes it handy for the swap meet.

 

...as of today, there's now less than 2 months til the "Scrap Drive".

I've had lots of calls from people wanting flyers/info on our show...from entrants and swap vendors alike. It looks like our 2nd show will be bigger/better than last year.

If you have stuff to sell, our vendor spaces are only $10.00 each and the spaces are good size.

We have no pre-registration for show or swap, but if you need an indoor space, you should probly call to request one and we will save it for you.
Gates will probly open by 6:30AM or so the day of the show. Last year we had 60-plus vendors with a nice variety of project cars, parts, etc.

If you have any questions PM me or call 815-973-9304.

 

We're starting out a Real BBQ joint soon and was wondering about food vending at the show?

 

...John, we have our food vendors lined up; but if you come to the show talk to me or some of the members about setting up maybe next year; we may be interested.

...some of you will be glad to know we have "Kent's Big Bar" icecream coming this year. They are always set up at the Jefferson swap, etc,. Could of used em last year, it was hot.

 

Sounds like the show is growing Sam!! Will be there this year.

 

Thats kool. Ryans J, the Falcon and the GTO. That will be worth the price of admission.

 

if i do come i guess ill just leave the hood shut, but thats wrong. all tha work and then leavin it shut, oh well.

Im more interested in the swap meet!!

reference the bags? no problem, she girly looking but she doesnt bring much with her, just place in in the bed and roll on.

 

Yea PoPo just bring it. They will figure it out when they see it.

Yea you will want to check out the swap. Look for another project or something. Maybe buy a sedan or coupe. hint hint hint Got a truck, then you need a car to go with it. ha ha ha kool

 

im looking for an A or a 53 to chop like my previous 53 that was too nice to chop.

 

Im hoping it will be finished in time to drive up.. If not i will be there though.. Take care Jerry B.

 

Ok it is less than three months away now. Working on the second band now, should be able to announce next week for sure. It should be a great time for all those that attend. he he he he he

 

Who's the first band?

 

...first band is "24 Elsinore" from the Freeport, Illinois area I believe; they are a great sounding group, 3 guitars and a drummer. A bunch of our club members checked em out and liked what we heard. They are even learning new songs just to play at our show,...more rock-a-billy/country, etc. Lookin forward to hearin them again.

 

24 Elsinore will be playing at Jumpin Joes on saturday April 26. You should go check them out. I hope to be there.
