Just a reminder the big party is coming up again on April 17th, 2010. It's time to get crackin' on your trucks so we can all get together and tell each other what should'a, could'a been done if we wuz rich. Oh yes,.. Hemi's pay double, and yellow trucks get in free.

Whoa, guess I better reconsider my paint job and find some school bus yellow to spray on it. I'll be there. Thanks for the advance heads up.

"Oh yes,.. Hemi's pay double, and yellow trucks get in free."

great, I know I won't have the truck painted by then, I guess I will need to spray bomb it yellow just to save the cost of admission.... or do you guys pay to see plum crazy purple trucks??

[Don Coatney]

What is the cost for a full race flatty Plymouth car? Or the cost if I bring this hemi with all attachments?

[48Dodger]

If you bring the Hemi, the girl, and the flattie.....I'll pay everyone's addmission...lol.

48D:D

[MBF]

The girl and the flattie-there's an oxymoron if I ever heard one. I'll bet she's someone's great grandma today. Some old trucks seem to age more gracefully than some people do.

[48Dodger]

You mean......that's not a recent picture???

It is recent enough for me:cool:

Nice thing about pictures is they dont age. Only the lookers age and they think the picture looks old.

[John-T-53]

Wow Clements is only about 500 miles away...might have to get the ol' gal (the truck) ready for a road trip! I might bring some lookers along in case the one in the photo below turns out to be...well, a little more wrinkly than expected.

I can't see the flyer that is mentioned. How do I access it/

If I can make it up that way this year, where is a good place to gat a room?

[48Dodger]

As always, I have plenty of room for RV's and/or campers. Anyone who wants to throw a sleeping bag on the living room floor, that's fine too. Call ahead, first come first serve....

Lots of good places to stay at Hwy 99 and Kettleman Rd in Lodi

Lodi 15 miles from my house

Stockton 20 miles

There are smaller towns closer, but no hotels I'm aware of.

Lockeford 5 miles

Clements 3 miles

The best one I could reccomend without having stayed there, would be:

Hampton Inn and suites

1337 Beckman Rd, Lodi, CA‎ - (209) 369-2700‎

its fairly new and seems have the brand names close by,,,ie Denny's, Starbucks, Mc Donalds, etc......

[Bob_Koch]

My in-laws live only 3 miles from Tim's BBQ place in Lodi. Just down the road. They have a large 5th wheel trailer already setup on their property with electrictiy and water. Anyone coming up is welcome to use it. It gets used as a guest house, so consider yourself a guest. Just let me know.

[48Dodger]

Just wanted to bump the thread back up to the top....only about 2 months til the big day! Look forward to seeing y'all there!

dam I'd like to go and get out o this snow bank.

[BulldogTom]

Tim - I think I am going to make it this year. Nothing is on the calendar right now. But I don't think the truck will be there. Still too much to do to get it running by then and I don't have a trailer to drag it out there.

Of Course, I would rent a trailer if all you guys wanted to donate a couple hours to getting it finished up?

Something like the Pilothouse olympics. Fastest to make a wiring harness and hook it up, Fastest to get it running. Fastest to adjust the valves. Fastest to tune it up. Fastest to detail the engine compartment. Fastest to rebuild the carb. Fastest to align the front end. Fastest to convert the front brakes to disc. Well, you get the picture.

I think MGD for first place, Bud Light for second, Coors for third. I will definately supply the prizes.

Any takers?

Tom

[48Dodger]

Hey Tom...no need to rent a trailer...I'll come by and pick your truck up the day before and bring it back the day after. I think your in Woodbridge right? Only 15 miles I think.

48D

[John-T-53]

I think I can definitely make it. I'm moving up to the Bay Area in a couple weeks, so from there it will be about 300 miles less to drive at 50 mph!

[48Dodger]

Hey John! You should be alright, Tod made it the first year....can't remember his top speed, but made the trip all the way from SF with his wife.

48D

Yes, I am in Woodbridge. If you want to haul it out there, I will be happy to accept your offer. It may still be just the cab, frame, powertrain and wheels, but that will just make it easier to push onto the trailer.

I will be done with tax season so I won't have to be in the office that saturday. I am looking forward to seeing all the trucks and gleaning some information on getting this truck rolling.

Thanks Tim. Send me a Private message and I will give you my phone number and address.
