Silver Lake Memorial weekend

I'll be going up Friday after work and coming home Monday afternoon. If anyone else is going post up and lets meet up somewhere.

I know Mike, will be up there. But there are a few others on this forum that may be going, maybe we can pick a day or evening (or both) to hang out and chat.

We have a cottage that we rent over by Whippy Dip and would be more than happy to have people come over and have a campfire.

Lets see if we can get a little head count and meet up somewhere. I also know that we are going to have a couple canopies set up on the sand by the beach so if you need to have a base camp sort of place to put things that will be there when you get back let me know.

Yep, first street past it on the right is West Dr, it's the 4th house down I think. You'll see the excursion and the mustang will be up along with the Jeep.

**** I just realized I am bringing the bikes too, that means evrything I own and can ride or drive is going to the dunes this weekend

I'll just spray some WD-40 at... well no, I'll just get a swimming pool full of WD-40 and lower it in over night. It might start in the morning!

See, you need to listen to me. That thing needs a 351 in it, or better yet a 351C

I appreciate all the offers. I really do. But I know in my heart of hearts that I am going to build a windsor and put a c-4 behind it.. but until then, it's 289 powered. Ah hell... who am I kidding? I build a mean windsor.

Well, I had Doug Flagherty play with the crank shaft on that one.... so it is 95 CID bigger than when it was born. I never have put it on a dyno, but I know one thing, it will hold you back in your seat!
