You're only 16? I was thinking you were closer to my age then that. How do you have time for all this truck crap then.

Btw...anybody have a parts 8.8?

yep just pushing 16 soon. if its got to be off a 8.8, no, but a 60 rear i can do, or you could just drop the 8.8 all-together and swap the whole 60

If it is on a saturday and it is warm out, me and the harley will be there. I as you know sold my 1970 f-250 (sniff sniff, i saw the comment) so i travel with two wheels instead of four. sundays are out for me as i also leave for work on sunday nights and do a 630 mile overnight into the morning thing. if i dont come to a winter or spring meeting, i will be there in the summer, as long as there isnt a harley thing going on somewhere.

We don't all have to gather at one single meet. The Northern and Western portions of the state just don't seem to catch as many people. But if you could get a few more people going out there then you could definately have a meet. That's the problem with get togethers, its impossible to have one close to everybody. Rob, Roger, Opie, and I all appear to be having to drive over 2 hours to the meet already. Chrono too if he can talk his lady into going to shop for a while =P.

I'm a fan of cheap bowling! But I think it'd be interesting doing some Go-karting with a few of these guys too. Rob would drive it off the course and come back with ported/polished heads and a stroker that would pound us into oblivion. =) Could you call and see if they offer discounts to groups? The Go karts place that is. It is looking like we're going to have another meet in the CR/IC area.

Well, I could look into it this week while I'm back in the area, after I get the trans in my van swapped... then the motor back in the skid... and the bale stabber built for the old man... and the load of scrap picked up... naw, I don't have anything to do!

Well I go through burlington every day but I sincerly doubt anyone would want to have a gtg at that time of day. But it's not against the grain to drive to burlington on the weekend I guess. One advantage is I won't have any trouble finding burlington, heck if I brought the semi I think it can find it's own way there.

So is this all that we have interested? I hope we have a few more post up that they'd like to get together. That's part of having the chapter. I'm still working on getting Rick to come along..
