"Gathering of the Faithful" NE Speed Meeting

Check with these guys http://www.bostonsparks.com/ or do a google search for " boston fire buffs" see if you can find a historian. Fires like that should stand out in their memory.

 

THANKS! I'll get an email off to them.

 

LMAO- man, you know I wanna be there. It would be so cool to drive into that show. Someday......

KEITH - great idea!! bring 'em both... we need to see the dragger progress and you can never have too many hemi's at a show!!

CTfuzz - hey tom, you going to make it? what will you be driving?

GENERAL GOW - how about it mark, is the A going to be there?

see you all a week from saturday!! mike

 

George,
You missed the best Bone's run yet. The weather was the star this year. Good turnout and the best route yet. Tee shirt weather to boot. See you at garage night in February....

 

Well????? Didn't anybody take any pix at the Gathering????????

 

Jim,
Looking forward to seeing you, Mike and Jerry. Hopefully the weather will be nice.

 

John, Hope you can make it...
Yes, the roadster is coming to Norwood to get fixed. I'll be calling soon to set up a drop off date. I arranged to hold off fixing it until the season is over. The gathering is going to be the end of my season. I've managed to put on over 5,000 miles this year after the accident. The best year since I built it except for the crash. After the gathering, I'm pulling the engine and trans to do some preventative maint and a re-paint. Hope to have all done and assembled in time for some winter driving. Can't stand not to have it in running shape all of the time.

 

Dan,
We stopped in Bennington and asked for you on Saturday, but they said there wasn't anyone "up stairs". It was a great run. I'll be posting pictures here in a day or so.
Looking forward to seeing you on the 21st.
Paul

 

It's only a litle more than a week away. Let's hope the weather god gives us a day we can brag about.

 

The Henderson 4 Midget project is coming along with me. Found out the fire it was in happened in the Boston area in the early 1970's. Now the push is on to trace its history from 1925-75.

 

Glad you're bringing it to the Gathering. I'm looking forward to meeting you in person.

 

what he said!! see ya there, mike

 

bttt...guess I'll be walking over!

 

Screw that, tow your new boat over. First fill it up with all of your leftover parts and set up a spot to sell that junk that the landfill won't take.
See you there...

 

WEATHER UPDATE - so far it's looking great for saturday, sunny and 59 for a high!! and speaking of high, jim will be coming with us. the countdown continues..... LOL mike

 

Looks like I may have this saturday off . Pat and I may take a ride there. This may sound dumb ,but what goes on at this show? should I bring the model a or is it or my daily driver Carlg

 

By all means, bring your Model A. It won't be the only one there.

The show features old race cars of all types. All hot rods are welcome as well as restored antiques auto's.

This show is co-sponsered by the Early Ford V8 Club of Cape Cod.

Got neat stuff you want to sell or just show-off, bring that along as well. No additional fee for selling parts.

 

Paul, Ya mean there could be someone with some green to swap for my factory releived , adjustable tappet equiped flathead block? What a joy it would be to be free of that oily mess.

 

I'll be surprised if you take it back home with you. Unless you plan to retire on the profit.

 

Your model a sedan,I saw it at the toys for tots fun run,neat car.

 

Far out Man!!
Peace
JimV

 

Yes Jim you are far out. You better not put the top on that T for the show. Just dress warm

 

I've got to be in Boston until 10, but I'm going tto try to haul down there afterwards--sounds like a cool show.

 

hey darby, aren't you the guy that bought my 5-speed transmission and clutch setup? how's it going man? how's the project coming along? hey if it ain't running throw it on a trailer and drag it down there! try to make it for the HAMB pic at noon if you can, we'll look for you down there. mike

 

Hey Mike, what time are you guys taking off? Since you are close and I don't know where I'm going, I may want to caravan with you. Brian

 

Yup, that's me. Your trans is sitting in there--with an S-10 tailshaft--attached to the motor and crossmember, but not to a driveshaft. Bodywork is 80% done, front and rear suspension is done, and I'm working on hanging pedals and installing the gas tank right now. I put the right sized rims and tires on it a couple weeks ago, so it's looking less like a 4x4. I should be driving it now, but I'm the slowest fabricator in the world. Hopefully I'll see you on Saturday--I may even ask you a couple questions about the way you had the hydraulic cylinder set up on that clutch too...

I don't have a trailer, and it's kinda half-together right now anyway. I need those fenders on to hide my late model front suspension and four wheel disc brakes...
