MNSDAC "Minnesota" meeting

[blk86trbo]

Paul, are you on the other forum? Thats where most of us Minnesota guys post.

Yeah Bob, I check the other forum on occasion, but hadn't thought to contact you guys up in MN until yesterday

hmmm, I don't think I have anything going on as well on Sunday. Last saturday Lisa and I took the Shadow and drove around Mille Lacs Lake, Brainerd isn't too much further.

Jim,

What are you bringing to CarCraft? When are you going?
How about everyone else? I guess Peter is going to be there with his 89 CSX.

[layapatch]

I'm going on saturday, I would like to get there by 10:00 but we will see. I'm not entering anything this year, I would rather spend the money that I saved on car parts!

Just put new Edelbrock IAS front shocks on the Dart last night, holy crap, what a difference! Before I could push the car down real easy, and now I can't push it down at all! When I turn the steering wheel the car turns so nice without all the roll. Can't wait to put the rears on this weekend. I also have to put front and rear sway bars on this weekend as well. Can't wait to have this all done, then I can turn corners without the car feeling like it's going to flip over!

Well I've been at the show for two days and have only seen Bob D. so far. What happened to the rest of you? Peter, Bob told me you where there, but I couldn't find you. I am parked on Lee ave. (where Midwest Mopar usually park). If your coming Sunday, I have your trophy from MITP with me.
Todd

[amoparx]

I saw a few more people than Todd. Jim rode in with me. Peter, Kirt and his wife, Ryan and Shannon, Chris P, Brad. Although, I think only Me, Todd and Peter had turbo cars there. I think a guy name Don was there with his 89 CSX, but I didn't see him.
Who else is going to be there tomorrow? I'll be there.

[amoparx]

Well, Sunday was a beautiful day for a car show. (CarCraft at MN. State Fairgrounds) Especially after the crappy cold cloudy Saturday. Brad had his TC3 there. Todd had the 87 Shelby Charger. I ran in to Don, who has an 89 CSX with 17,XXX actual miles. I guess he was parked next to Peter with his 89 CSX. They both are original owners of their CSX's. Although Peters car went through a few owners after he got rid of it for a Shelby Lancer? I can't remember for sure. But years later, he wanted another 89 CSX and stumbled on his old one. Cool story! I'm a little bummed that I didn't know where they were parked until later in the day. We don't get many times when 3 numbered cars are together. That could have happened. As it turned out, they were just about visible from where I was parked. (Half block away)
I had a hard time finding a good place to park on a main street. Then I found a spot right next to a friends 68 AMX. I got lucky. There were a lot of nice cars there. I believe there may have been near 6,000 cars total during the weekend.

Jason and I were at Car Craft but we didn't see anyone and didn't make it through all the cars. We were only there for probably 2 hours, the only TM we saw was Jim's vert.

I saw quite a few nice cars in the parking lot. They get too much money for that show. I prefer paying $15.00 in advance for Mopar's in the Park.
Sorry we didnt see you guys there. We should make a point of getting everyone together next year and try to park together. If we start planning it soon, we could do it.

I thought I heard Jim rode in with Bob? My SC was on Lee street for all three days. That was the street that Midwest Mopars used to use. Sorry I didn't see you guys. Wheels and Wings Sept 12th. Mark your calendars! That is probably my favorite show.
Todd

[amoparx]

Yeah Jim parked in the lot and rode in with me.

Mark your calendars! That is probably my favorite show.
Todd

I'm looking forward to that show. I like the variety of cars.

[layapatch]

Yeah we missed you Todd, we seen your car there for sale and went by it a couple of times but we didn't see you.

I gave out the new MNSDAC stickers, we have Red, White, and Silver. Gave them out to Ryan, Kirt and Bob of course. Can't wait to get the shirts done!

[amoparx]

Here's what they look like. It's easy to read from a distance

[1986GLH]

Thought a reminder should be posted on here!!

Do we do a September 5th Saturday meet at Porky's?

Meeting: September 12th 8am-4pm
Wheel's and Wing's Car Show
Osceola, WI.

If we do have a meet at Porky's I think Jason and I should be able to make both of them.

[amoparx]

I'll be there so I'd have to say yes. I don't know if Jims going. I forgot to ask him tonight, but he does know we're thinking about it. What time do you think? I'd prefer to get there a bit later than we would normally have a meeting. Like maybe 3 or 4?

[1986GLH]

Yeah that would work Bob, I think we might go to the state fair before that. So 3 or 4 would work. If anyone wants to come with us to the fair just let me know.

[amoparx]

I'm not sure what I'll drive. The R/T is layed/laid up for a while now. #$@#%$#^% Why did I buy that car!

I finally am starting to fix the GTC. I now know what's wrong with it. I'll be putting an oil pump and I-shaft in it tonight. The ignition timing was off do to the pump and shaft slipping from each other. The timing belt was right on, but the rotor was off a bit.

[TopDollar69]

Bob,
Any interest in selling that R/T? I have a nice Lebaron interior I would be willing to do a partial trade with and cash.

[amoparx]

Ben,
If I Had a brain in my head, I'd sell it, but want to hang on to it. For now. My 'vert isn't worthy of such nice leather.

[amoparx]

Saturday, September 5th. 3:30pm at Porky's.

The Manager got fired a couple months ago, so we're going back.
We still have the Osceola car show next weekend. See everyone one at both places. I'll drive the GTC Saturday. I'm not ambitious enough to get the R/T done in time. As long as it sits, it can't break any more.
