May 2018 Grand National F100 family renuion
 

I've already reserved 7 swap meet spaces for this show. Joe Carpenter is a great guy and I'm sure this will be a great event

I've got a room booked :-jammin

Kevin you care to text me Joe's number? The website wasnt up last I looked. Im excited about this one. I think it will have the feel of the shows from many years ago.

Hope to see you there Don. Maybe we can do better about getting FTErs togeather at this show. I'm still drinking on that water I brought to Super Nationals.:-X04

Sounds good BJ. It might not be needed as bad by then. It is very warm here in
Middle Tennessee today.

Where is the host hotel?
Went in the 90's.

Music Road Resort... turn left at light #1 coming from Sevierville

I think you mean turn RIGHT

dang Joe.... you are correct turn RIGHT at light #1... I'm old... I get confused :(:o

John no worries. I lived in the area, Knoxville, for 5 years. I read your post "turn left" and got confused and almost convinced maybe John is correct. :-X04

I've only been hanging around here for a couple of years but have the disease. Wifey and I plan to go to this show. During my research I found the Website so I thought I would share. I'm sure there will be a lot more information and interest as the event nears. Hope to meet some of ya there.

While in Pigeon Forge this weekend we drove past the Music Road Hotel, this is a massive hotel complex with a large convention center. The water park is smaller than I expected, but being the middle of May I doubt it will be open.

Thanks for the info Joe. Looking forward to going.

Yea, I'm really looking forward to this show. I'm sure that Dollie won't be ready in time, so I may just set up at the swap meet with flathead parts. I have several parts that I won't be using.

I'll be there. Talked to the promoter joe carpenter this passed weekend looks like it will be a good show.

Bump, 2 months away

bump 49 more days

Looking forward to it! I'm booked in Gatlinburg with the family but plan to spend at least a few days in Pigeon Forge at the Reunion. It's really nice that we can take the shuttle from Gatlinburg and transfer to a Pigeon Forge shuttle so I don't have to drive or park once I'm there.

good plan Doug... parking at PF and GB is tough

I'm hoping to go should be able to decide this week , i've never been to a all F100 show.

It's really not that bad. Yes, the parkway is a lot of stop and go, but I've never had trouble parking in one of the various parking lots along the way, even during the Rod Run. The shuttle is great, but I prefer my own ride.

Guess I had better hurry and book a room. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Met BJ and Harrier last year at the Sho Me F-100's. Dave we just went past your exit today coming back home from Grand Island we made a quick trip up my mother fell and broke her hip and thankfully my brother still lives in G.I. It snowed on us and cold as hell I am tired of this stuff. I am going to post a pick of my instrument cluster (dolphin) and see if anyone going to the show might want to trade it out for a good working stock one..See you all there.

Sorry to hear about your Mom Art. Hopefully she will heal up quickly. I'm tired of this stuff too. It's been going on way to long. During one of your trips in the future you need to swing through for a visit. I'm hoping to go to the Nationals one of these years. This year it will not work because I have to work. I retire next year so no excesses then.

bigwin how about rear shock mounts from a 57/60 f-100 cradle and all ? I think I will my FTE shirt if it still fits that you all of you know if you want to talk to me or not talk to me :).

37 days !!! Ya'll start packing !!!!! Oo. Oo.

Northerners and Canucks.... start shoveling the snow and get ready !!!

Us southerners can sit awhile and work on our tans

Ha ha, John! Real funny.

Will your truck be ready?

sorry Abe, that was probably cruel... nah , still working on wiring so I don't see it happening this year... maybe by Crusin the Coast in October, finished up the rear light wiring today and headed back toward the front... stopping mid truck at the transmission cooler and fuel gauge...then on to the front wiring for lights... engine is done. Final step will be the dash and interior... windows, a/c, console, etc... still lots to do but there are fewer wires hanging then there used to be

I am going to try and make the show and I hope to meet some of you there.

Kevin, I'm looking for a front bumper still. I'll be there.
