YET ANOTHER 2013 SUPERNATIONALS THREAD
#16
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!

My Wife and I plan to arrive mid day on Thursday and stay til Sunday. After 9 years of planning and building, we wouldn't miss it. We're pre-registered there and also for the Blue Suede Cruise in Tupelo May 3, 4, & 5. Hope to meet and greet y'all there (one or both!). I'm seriously considering bringing my ez-up tent for parking lot duty though our room is walking distance right across the Little Pigeon River @ Willow Brook Lodge. Later, Steve
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???

John,
Nashville Goodguys is that same weekend. I probably will ride out for the day on Friday in my daily driver to pickup a few parts. If you are looking for aFTE friendly gathering spot I think HOT ROD Trucks would be a good one or Carolina Classics. Rodney or Ricky have always allowed us to meet and greet at their booths. Everyone has been wise and courteous enough to stand over out of the way so as not to disrupt business traffic for either of these guys. So who's bringing me a solid, rust free 56' drivers door??? Dont be bashful everyone... step up

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

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
