I'll be on my way home friday night, so ill call when i get in. Saturday sounds good to me. Droping the truck off at 8am for a wheel alignment so anytime after that is cool.

See you all at the show.
Good stuff Eric, I`ll get you tickets for the show.
I might be looking for co-drivers, it`ll be short but still a cool drive home Sat after the show......all cars have to be out of the building by Sat midnite.

The Draggins show is full up? Wow!
If the Sat afternoon gtg doesn't work out a few of us could meet up at the show Sat evening for a coffee/BS session.

That is really disappointing to hear. I thought it was a great idea to have a truck like yours in a show like that, especially cause you do so much work on it yourself.

Its like I posted on your facebook man, any jackass can buy a nice old car/truck, and pretend to be an enthusiast, but the true enthusiast is the guy that gets dirty working on his own stuff.

Seems like alot (no not all but alot) of the draggins guys I talk to either buy their vehicles all fixed up, or just pay someone else to fix them up, then show it off as their own,

Some of what you say is true there Preppy. But I been to their club house a few times. Some actually do the work. One fella I know is meticulus about the detail stuff. Like painting the hardware for window regulators, hinges, wiper motors. He tears those down and rebuilds them in a trade off for other work. He has one do his metal patches and another do his painting. So a lot of them barter their work.
Yes some of the barter is not car related. Someone may barter to have new plumbing in their home done for work on their vehicles.
Yes there are several that buy the car done up and show it off. They think paying someone to fix or modify makes them enthusiasts.
I like to do my own work. Others rather pay since they got the money.

They keep trying to get me to join, But I do not want to be going in every Monday evening. They want that dedication from you to attend every Monday night meetings. Well I rather be able to work around my own schedule of doing stuff.
