    hehe - wingnutz - i'm actually out of the way but i'd drive an hour and a half north just to meet ya'll in waco [​IMG]... bring your little bro!!!! i won't be driving the roadster this year... i really am hoping to finish her before the 2005 roundup....maybe 2004 drags [​IMG]

    buzzard - thats why i was asking about the blue 30 coupe - he was hanging around the kontinentals...wondered what he had done to his frame.... and if i could get some info...
    ( although i'm sure i'd like your 96 chevy also [​IMG] ) hehe

    hey ROOT that car moved to a different state... and not under its own power. I bought a new shooter, it rules. But I was seriously thinking about driving the Ford truck I drove to the Hamb drags and trailer one of my piles to the round up. Like the HEX...

    either way im going...
    and it WONT BE IN THE FREON [​IMG]

    This year those heading south from DFW (and beyond) met at The Health Camp in Waco for lunch on the way down.

    'Twas a sight to behold...


    Tuck, if you want to trailer the Hex to Fort Worth, then drive it down with the rest of us from there, I've got a safe place you can store your truck and trailer that's right off of I-35. Just a thought...

    The offer's on the table. There should be a large group of us driving down there together. Hell, there will probably be at least 10 shoeboxes if we hook up with HankCash and the guys in Dallas.

    Do I need to mention that you only have a little over 4 months? [​IMG]

    The bro's and ho's in the Coollows are in fo sho!
    We should have everyone up and running by March.
    We still have plenty of time to plan this thing, but we should for sure get a caravan that stretches from Dallas to Austin this year. Everyone planning on going down Friday @ noon-ish? That would be best. Just think, we still have winter yet to come and go before the show, but I am still anxious!

    Maybe I'll drive up to Plano, spend the night at Mom's house, and cruise down with ya'll!!!

    It'd sure be the Friday before last year. I spent hours trying to bleed beatniks defective master cylinder. Defective ones don't bleed near as well, I come to find out.

    Come on up Buzzard.
    Plano is across the street from me.
    Did you go to school in Plano?
    Did you beat up a skate-punk named Jeff?
    If so, maybe we have unfinished business...

    Maybe the Coollows will park IN the show this year.
    We couldn't get 2 of the club cars registered cause' they were 65's.
    We have a club rule at shows "everyone or no-one gets in".
    I think that with all of the trading of cars, we only have one non-50's car left in the club....
    we'll see.....

    I'm going to try and make it down in my 54 chevy. I'm trying like hell to get the 5" chop done but all this rain isn't helping me much. Wish I had a shop to work in instead of my sandy driveway. I'll be coming from arkansas if anyone else is going the same way. I'm trying to find some other people to go to.

    Reggie-

    You guys come on up and follow us down Friday.... it would be great. Everyone bring a bag of marshmallwos so we can play some "highway tag"!

    Are you using drop spindles up front or did you cut coils?
    thanks
    HC
     
  15. HC -
    I'm using Fatman dropped uprights and I cut 1/2 coil. Steering box is an early 1970's volvo bolt-in. The rear are Posies parallel springs with a 1" block.

    Reggie, as far as I knew you only had those 2 coupes, what else are you hiding down there?
     
  17. Sounds like the LSRU will be the biggest "Shoebox" show with the longest "Shoebox" parade from Minnisota to Austin! [​IMG]

    Unless there are some gutsy northern roadster warriors with WWW snow tires! [​IMG]

    I wonder How many Rods from the North are going to make it to Austin...? [​IMG]

    Hey Deyomatic, they say the first step to recovery is to first admit. Well, I admit, i've got it bad. But I never plan to recover! [​IMG]
