Tones52 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Posted December 8, 2013 My AAA is up to date, so I'm in. And I'm bringing my camera Quote
mrwrstory Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Posted December 19, 2013 I had the pleasure of connecting with skchandler last week. Nice young family guy. We need more of that! We've had very little response to this idea of a SoCal Old Mopar breakfast. Com'on guys. It'll be after the Holidays. No obligation 'cept showin your ride and kickin tires with a few of the Mopar Infatuatiom. Quote
mrwrstory Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Okay, boys and girls, seems there's only four of us who want to be "social". A proposed date and location goes out to those who have RSVP'd to the idea. Guys who are "in", check your private messages for a note within the next 24 hours.

mrwrstory Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Posted January 9, 2014 Location? Haven't decided yet but looks like Whittier is central to the few that have responded. Quote
Mike Petersen Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 My ride is now where near ready. I'm in La Mirada Ca. rite next to Whittier. Just had 2 surgeries in the last few months that have slowed me down. There is a smog shop on Whittier Blvd. that is attached to a Daniels Goodyear store. The owner has a sweet 1947 T&C. Checked it out last week. Just need to paint my firewall so I can install new engine. and finish the darn thing. Wanted to get it done this year. Quote
Mike Petersen Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 http://www.socalcarculture.com/index.htm Go to this link and at the top hit the events link and it will show all kind of So.Cal swap meets and shows. Long Beach is this Sun. Pomona is next week. The Doughnut Derelicts is always good in Huntington. There would be a bunch of rides at all of them. Quote

Hey Mike, Why don't you hit on the guy with the T&C and join us. Ride in his car or at least bring pics of yours to prove that it's real Check your PMs Quote

Mike, Long Beach Vet Stadium swap meet is real close to me. I usually go (to the high performance & motorcycle swap meets) every month, though not much (if any) early Mopar stuff. I go just to walk around with a couple buddies. Pomona is better, but also, not much early parts....at least in my case. Hey Mike, Why don't you hit on the guy with the T&C and join us. Ride in his car or at least bring pics of yours to prove that it's real Check your PMs Bill, I don't know if the guy with the T&C would appreciate being "hit on", maybe just "hit him up" first & see where it goes... Also, you know I'm in for this. Edited January 11, 2014 by deathbound Quote
Mike Petersen Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) He already mentioned his wife & kids. It's tough to find vintage Mopar stuff in So. Cal. Or any Mopar stuff at swap meets. It's always been that way. In the last few years Between Pomona,Long Beach & Irwindale I found 1 hub cap for my D24. I just go to ebay and save my gas. I've got a wife and kids too. Edited January 12, 2014 by Mike Petersen Quote

RodFru2u Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 Glad to hear you guys still are meeting. I'm shaking the trees to see if I can find other mopar owners in my area that might want to meet and join the Forum. Looking forward to meeting everybody there, Rod Quote
Mike Petersen Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 `2/2/14 is Super Bowl Sunday. Quote
RodFru2u Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 The " Big Game " will be later in the afternoon. We'll be home safe well before the kick off. Don't let that stop you from showing up. Looking forward to seeing all, Rod Quote
mrwrstory Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Posted January 23, 2014 I'm looking forward to the get-together. Hopefully a few others will join us. And yes,....I'm sure we'll adjourn in time to see the Super Bowl. Quote
fedoragent Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 Dang it, I'll be on work travel. I'm in Pasadena and if you guys ever do this again let me know. I'd be interested...if I didn't have to work. FG. Quote
mrwrstory Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Okay Fellers,........... I have DEATHBOUND, TONES52, SKCHANDLER, RODFRU2U & MRWRSTORY as making it to breakfast on Sunday Feb. 2. MIKE PETERSEN and FEDORAGENT send regrets with the request to be notified of the next gathering. If I have missed anyone I apologize with the request that you let me know ASAP so's you can be included on the list. Others reading this post, who fit the Old Mopar image, are welcome to join us. Please PM me with your civilian name and a contact number. We'll gather at Denny's, 8425 Pioneer Blvd. (at Slauson), Whittier at 8:30am. I'll call ahead to request a table in the corner. I fear I may have erred on the participant list. Rereading the previous posts and PMs, I see that "DEATHBOUND" has previous commitments and I think it's Mike Petersen who will join us. Sorry for my confusion! Help me, guys. Edited January 28, 2014 by mrwrstory Quote

mrwrstory Posted February 1, 2014 Author Report Posted February 1, 2014 First guy to arrive at Denny's, please get the table. I talked to George (manager) and asked for a table in a corner where a bunch of guys who have never met could spend some extra time jawing. "no problem!" I said we are the p15 Bunch. See ya'll at 8:30 Quote
mrwrstory Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Posted February 2, 2014 We just had the best time! Lotsa laughs and story telling. Missed deathbound, fedoragent & Mike Petersen. We'll do it again and hope we can provoke more from our area to join us. - - - - 1 Quote
