I dont know why everyone is so down on the show. Its a big gathering with the chance to see a lot of trucks and meet a lot of nice people! I personally like to go to the show and mix in other activities in pigeon forge/gatlinburg/the smokies. You don't have to sit in the parking lot all day....

I do wish it wasn't $10/day for spectators though....cheaper to register the truck for the weekend!

 

you driving your truck ?? love to see it if you are...

didn't know about the Blue Suede... probably can't make two extended shows in one month... off the clock off the check. pm me your cell # and we'll try to hook up Fri or Sat during the show...

you didn't mention Cruzin the Coast... going to that one???

j

 

Donald, you got a contact name for either ?? ought to call and ask if we can use their sign for a meet/greet... maybe sometime mid morning on Sat after everyone shows up (late sleepers)... maybe I'll see you wandering on Friday... just look for the handsome guy right ???

 

John, yes we are coming up in the '54. Our 1st trip ever in the truck after completion (??) was to Cruisin' the Coast 2012. We haven't missed it now for 10 years. I have vacation set for all of May and all of October just for car shows and cruising events. We made a trip up into Arkansas right after Cruisin' 2012 and had a blast. About 3500 (mostly) trouble-free miles on the truck now. Hey, we built it to drive it!! Looking forward to seeing your '53 on the road. As I have already said, your info on here was a lot of my inspiration to get mine on the road. If we can set up a meet and greet, count me in. Later, Steve

 

Steve, I was there last year... saw some nice trucks at Bay St Louis parked right on their water front... what color is your truck ???

I'll bet this is it right ?? took this pic at the swap meet

That's it. We were down Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday day tripping appx. 220 miles each day. We needed to drive it to work the bugs out. Thanks for posting the picture! Steve

 

I spoke to some guys at Bay St. Louis whose trucks had survived Katrina in the garage.... beautiful trucks that had been redone AGAIN one had a water line (actually oil line) mark just under the door handle... His garage door was blocked by his 80 gallon compressor that floated and landed in front of the door....... can't imagine dealing with that... here's some pics of those trucks

 

Nice trucks! I think I met the guy with the maroon '53 @ the 2011 Cruisin'. The truck didn't have the flames then. I hope to have a little pinstriping / airbrushing done to mine but still trying to decide what I want. Steve
PS John, you should have a pm with my cell #

 

John Sent you a pm.

 

looks like change of plans for us..... been layed off for two weeks and no work in site....

gonna call tomorrow and cancel reservations... just can't see spending them money with less money coming in... so the 2013 Supernats will have to go on without us...

hate to miss it and miss meeting some of you guys... but I know all of you have seen hard times in the last few years also... hope it doesn't get worse...
