Who will be attending the Ft. Worth Goodguys event at the end of Sept.? Maybe some of the "Club" could get together and have a meal or just bench build etc. If so we could exchange cell num. or pick a spot/day.

I will be there during the day since I live 10 miles from the Speedway. But unfortunately I have a 20 year reunion to go to at night and my wife is making me go.
It would be great to meet some of the club. Keep an eye out for our sedan... http://www.clubhotrod.com/photopost/...00&ppuser=3666
and post a picture of your car so I know you when I see you.
See you there!
I will probably be going, but won't be driving the vette that far. With my 4:11 rearend I'd have to fill up twice just to get up there.
My '32 is not ready so I'll be hoofing it also, but it's still fun!
Corvette64, sent you a pm.
Jim
I'll be there on Saturday with camera in hand.
Regards,
Steve
Well I just got home from the Goodguys Show at the Texas Speedway, and man were there some nice cars there today. Awesome turnout. The wife and I walked for over 3 hours in a blistering Texas sun and saw maybe 60% of the cars there. So many nice cars there that after a couple hours of it diminished the fact that these cars are so rare and so nice. Tried to hook up with Old Hippie and Jim, but I guess it wasn't meant to be this time around. I did see and meet Troy Cryer and got to check out his very very nice 34 Ford 2dr Sedan. I'll try to attach a few digital photos of the show if I can get them sized right.Quote:

hi there, guys, 'scuse me butting in, but I've just spent a happy hour or two looking around your 'site. I'm a new member, and would like to thank you for allowing me to join you. I think I've found some of the most well informed, nicely put together information, comment and motors on the web, and I've been sitting here chuckling while getting an education. A month or two back I was faced with some big life choices, starting with moving house, buying a reliable economical car, so I did the only logical thing I could think of ...and bought a 48 Pontiac silver streak of e-bay, the first thing I've bought over the net. I've read some of you're informed comment on flat-head eights, and look forward to many happy, fruitless attempts at trouble free, cruising, and plenty of tears and skinned knuckles! But hey, "nobody ever said it would be easy - if it was, they'd all be doin' it!" Great shots of the Goodguys event, thanks for all the inspiration. best wishes from rain-soaked ol' blighty.
I just got home myself, '64.
I did manage to connect with "Old Hippie" (Jim) and enjoyed meeting him and sharing quality time "rubbernecking" with him.
That is a spectacular show and I appreciate your photography. Thanks for taking the pictures. I have a good camera but, as usual, I got so involved in looking around and in and under things that I kind of forgot to use it.
So I'm home, sunburned and hungry and tired and feeling like a jackass because I couldn't find my old Dodge for nearly an hour, but really glad I went.
I find that it's a lot easier to find one's ride when one looks in the correct parking area.
No kidding! I actually DID that.
Jim
I'd like to know how many cars were shown there today. If I had to guess I would think over 5.000. I started going to the Goodguys shows when I lived in California back in the mid 80's, and when they used to hold the event here at Southfork Ranch, They just keep getting larger.
Geez, you guys have way too much free time!!! Haven't been to a big show for at least 5 years.... Went junkyarding today, got to work all day tomorrow just to get caught up!!!
Looks like it was one heck of a good show, maybe next year, huh????:LOL: :LOL:
Sure come on down to Texas next year. We'll get some of the club members together and make it a weekend. Hell I'll even wear a Ford cap just so you won't feel embarrassed.:LOL:Quote:

The only negative was they didnt open the entry gate until 7 AM on Saturday and it took over an hour just to get in. There were plenty of busted radiator hoses and anti-freeze spills to avoid. They are going to have to get a better plan of action next year to avoid a mutiny. It was too hot to wait that long and it was very unecessary since they have opened much earlier in years past without a problem.
Thanks for the compliment on the old car and it was great to meet you.
I hope to meet the rest of you guys and gals at the next event.

Bad Hangover. Had a great time the night before though!
Not sure how long I stayed that day.
The heat was tough, and I wasnt.
Thanks again for stopping by.
RocknRod,
No problem. I'm glad you had a good time on Saturday night. I too was running on fumes as I went to my 20 year reunion the night before.
Your car looked great! And it was nice to put a face with a name. I'll see you around the local runs!
Troy
Wow I drove right by the Argyle exit on the way home Sunday around 1:00.Quote:
