This is a good idea a November Meet/Mod Party. More likely the 15th so everyone has time to plan and put in for at their job.

OK, I've made (or will be up there soon) a sticky about a November Meet/Mod Day/Garage Day (whatever you want to call it). Let's find out if there is enough interest to make it an official meet! Sign up in that thread if you are willing and able to set aside ONE day for a Garage Day in Huntingtown. MD. If the listed date isn't good, make an alternate suggestion. Don't forget Thanksgiving and some need time to request a no work day, if needed.

We appreciate it Conrad for your willingness to put up with us!

No problem.

Lets get a list of things we are going to be doing. This will ensure that I have the right tools/expertise on hand for us.

i just need to do a leaf spring perch (not that hard) and a fuel tank and probably a pm service on it. to do the perch i need to get the frame up and unload the rear suspension.

Hey guys,
I'm not joking if I come down there I will need
someplace to stay overnight.
The other part of the household is having her 2 sisters
and possibly Mom fly in that weekend and this house with
1 of them is enough but being the outcast hubby that would be
considered cruel and in humane
