[Mustang Marty]

And to think that I sent out my FFL bulletin to all my owners early... ;)

I'm in. Should have the coupe nearly done by then... If not, the Mac will be there.

[WHTLTHR79RS]

OK, i got Snake and Marty...anyone else ??

Neil

[WHTLTHR79RS]

Huh ?? Do I got to pick you out one by one ??

Neil

[black1980fiveoh]

I put in for leave for the 18th so I'll be there and maybe my spouse & child. It will be a "sick" day if I don't get the vacation day:)

[ford005]

I was hoping to attend this year...but found out I deploy again June 11th for another 3 months. Hopefully I can make it next year.

[stockhatch]

Hey Neil, I'll look into it. The drive out would be awesome, and I do need a vacation...Mapquest says its only 3128.43 miles :D

[WHTLTHR79RS]

Only 3100 miles, let's go !! Swing by AZ. on your way and pick up our moderator and bring her along. We had a small gathering last night at the burger joint...3 Capri and an 84 anniversary stang, a new guy. Ford005, how is the car coming along ?

[Laredo]

Hey Neil,
I'll try to be there again....but right now I am still "4-eyeless" Still looking for that elusive great deal on a SVO or GT turbo!!

Laredo

[OldsRocket442]

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it again this year. That is the first weekend of my vacation and we'll be in Oregon. Maybe next year. At the rate I'm going, it'll be that long before the car is ready anyway.:roll:

[82mustang]

me and 7t9cobra will be there FOR SURE! I think you and jeff talked about us camping out in your field? anyway i look forward to it big time, by then i'll have my car much cleaner, not to mention the GT40 306 im building..muahaha

People in other clubs just don't have the same apprieciation for four eyeds as we do here! should be a good time.

[merk]

I gotta check my race weekends but I think i might pull down blacky (my 83) just dont want to drive it 751 miles and risk it gettin chipped to heck on the roads i think it would be a blast .
Either that or i`ll just drive red down (86 capri )

[4eyed86gt]

looks like we are going to have a few more guys coming. Make sure you let Neil know.:) :) :)

[WHTLTHR79RS]

This is starting to turn into an international competition to see if more cars arrive from BC or USA....bring it on BC !!

Neil

So I drive a Fairmont and don't live in one of those three states. I can't come then??

Phillip

[SchoolBoy]

Yes Phillip, you can come, but dad is just trying to cover the basics and the most comin. Not to many far flung people seam to want to make the drive.

[Fearmont]

Ok, I asked the question tongue in cheek. I'm ready for a road trip, been cooped up too long. Maybe I can make it happen.

Phillip

[Bowman]

I'll try to come too if I can. It would be great to meet some poeple face to face.

Kurt

[Snake]

So I drive a Fairmont and don't live in one of those three states. I can't come then??

Phillip

Just for future reference,British Columbia is NOT a state,it's a Canadian province. :D

[WHTLTHR79RS]

Bowman, if you see any Mustangs or Capri owners in your area, 79 to 86 vintage, tell them about the event and drag them along...just let me know for a head count.
I have been really busy lately dealing with chores at home, but I will get back to it soon and reply to the e-mails and such. Got to start scrounging materials for the cook shed.

Neil

[twistin]

looks like there is going to be 6 of us at least Neil. still trying to get more:) :)

I have to check my race dates as well,but this sounds like fun.


Checked the dates,no conflict so I'm going to try and make this
work.

[WHTLTHR79RS]

I hve to get some chores done, then I will print up an official regestration sheet for all, and then the serious work of rounding up owners will begin. My renter has bought a riding mower, and is mowing the field frequently, and it's starting to liik like something....stay tuned and spread the word.

Neil

[tman1257]

You would have to be 4 or 5 states away. Would love to come but the Cobra aint up to that much of a distance. Hopefully sometime soon it will be up to a roadtrip like that.

[Realmongo]

So are you grilling Salmon again Neil?

[SchoolBoy]

Not likely, the family friend that helped us with that is going to be out of state for the event. Also it didn't seam to go over real well last time, we had way to much left over...

[1SLOSVO]

STEAKS FTW. lol

[Snake]

Hi Neil
was talking to Wayne and if everyone shows,it looks like 8 or nine of us from BC,looking forward to it.
Take care
Dave

[Mustang Marty]

Fire up the grill! Can't wait for the burgers and dogs!

[SchoolBoy]

Don't worry about the grill I cleaned it up and have been breaking it in for the last month rain or shine, so hopefully it will be seasoned for the BBQ!

[Snake]

Guys from BC had our meeting yesterday and it it looks like there MIGHT be 10 or 11 of us on the way on the 18th for the BBQ.
So far kinda looks like we'll be on the way Fri and Staying 'til Sunday so we can take in the BBQ with out having to go any where Sat,
Hope everyone shows up,keeps your fingers crossed!!
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[Shadow 1]

God I wish I could go, I'm hopeing to have the car ready by next years event plus the wife already made plans to go to the coast.:(

[Laredo]

Hey Neil,
Got my SVO!! But.......it's still kind of ugly (see below) and I have relatives coming from out of state that weekend. Perhaps if I can talk my brother-in-law into making a road trip up north, I'll be there. Unfortunately it will somewhat depend on the weather and if I get the AC working by then. He has MS and cannot take alot of heat. What's the lastest I can confirm attendance? Odds are good for me if the weather forecast is cool.

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j15/MNLaredo/IMG_3907small.jpg

[7t9cobra]

so neil
when is the registering going to begin?? i REALLY hate to say this, but my cars been giving me troubles. im hoping to have it running right soon, but if i cant, i will trailor it there. i dont care what it takes.....im going...end of story! lol marks 351W will be done by then. its been a while since i heard much about the BBQ. id say its getting about that time, to start advertising it. if you need any help with anything as far as supplies, or posting it on the web or anything let me know. ill do anything i can to help. we need to get this into a big event. i want to see a lot of cars. ive never seen more than 5 four-eyeds in one place at one time. id REALLY like to change that lol anyway get back to me
jeff

[WHTLTHR79RS]

OK everybody, here is the official posting...Thanks to "Mustang Marty", he made a website to host the notice..AND the sign up form. It's in PDF form, on the second page, so down load and print both pages, make copies for your friends, keep copies in your cars, and get the word out. When you head my way, bring a folding chair or two.

presenting.....TaaaDaaa...

http://www.stangranch.com/bbq/

I have almost 90 contacts on paper, so if you need to e-mail me..PLEASE use your name or FEP handle so I know who you are....

Neil

[7t9cobra]

SWEET!!! laredo......you HAVE TO go. i have never seen an SVO in person, and im to the point, where i would make a road trip just to look at one lol

[WHTLTHR79RS]

Ummmm, Laredo, you might have company in the field......better fill out the app and get it in the mail.
Neil

[WHTLTHR79RS]

Better start filling out the registrations....our neighbors to the north already got em hitting the mailbox...Snake and 1slosvo.

Neil

[7t9cobra]

wahoo!!! i saw my first SVO on my b-day (july 22nd) they happened to have a car show where i was working a huge car sale all week, on my only day off (my b-day) and the mustang club was there! i thought it was too much of a coincidence (probably spelled that wrong but i dont care) there was a canyon red 86 SVO that was beautiful. made my week LOL i got the turbo on and running tonight. what a PITA that was. its running better, but i dont know whether it will run perfect or not, until i get some miles on it. its looking like she'll be making the trip on her own power, but no guarantees yet. im considering hauling it even if it runs good. it will be less fuel (yea, hauling it with a powerstroke diesel gets better mileage than my 4 cylinder car!) if i take the truck too, i can set up my truck bed tent, and have extra room to pack stuff. besides, it has A/C, cruise control, power windows, and a CD player lol mark would probably smack me if i towed it though LOL
anyway, im trying real hard to get her going. talk to you soon
jeff

[4eyed86gt]

if you want to see an amazing SVO you better make sure you are there cause 1SLOSVO has an amazing low miler SVO that he is bringing

[7t9cobra]

oh ill be there for sure. my car might be on a trailor though. im un DESPERATE need for a working turbo that doesnt leak right now, and ill be set. i just got a turbo but it leaks oil like crazy into the exhaust. i dont have the time to send it in and its about 300 bucks i dont have. so if anyone has a hot deal on a working turbo, let me know.
jeff

[WHTLTHR79RS]

I got Mark's money in the mail the other day, the rest of you had better get with it...

Neil

[OldsRocket442]

So far Neil, it looks like my son and I are going to make it. I have a few small things to do to make it drivable. I've filled out the registration and will get it in the mail tomorrow if I remember.

I have to work Friday so I don't think I'll be up until Saturday morning.

This is all assuming the car passes emissions this weekend.

[WHTLTHR79RS]

That's great, glad you can make it this year. I found 2 more cars in the next town south of me this evening, and I think both of them will make it...brand new people...new is good. Looks like more than 10 4 eye cars from the B.C. area will show up. now is the time to fill out the forms and get the 40 cars in the field !! I secured the second grill tonight from the model field that I fly at, and 2 sun shades.

Neil

[7t9cobra]

is there anyway i can paypal you the money?? its just WAAAY more convenient since ill be workin 7 days a week for a while. im rushing to buy a turbo still. i decided to trailor it even if its running right. its just nice KNOWING that ill make it there and back. ill be able to use my truck tent too. neil, are there any supplies you need, like tables or anything? i have quite a bit of stuff.
jeff

[WHTLTHR79RS]

Jeff, just send cash. If you trailer the car, you can park the trailer in the other large field behind the house ( look at the 2006 pics on stangranch.com/bbq ). Ya, tables would be good, and some ice cooler chests if you are driving a truck. I can get 2 sun shades from my model field, and will be building another cook shack for shade. Camping is fine too....the porta-potty will be delivered friday am.
......I had a vision today.....for the 10th. bbq, we should try for an even 100 cars !!

Neil

[1SLOSVO]

if you want to see an amazing SVO you better make sure you are there cause 1SLOSVO has an amazing low miler SVO that he is bringing
and if you come I just might take you for a "spin"

[7t9cobra]

you have no idea how awesome that would be! im going to be there. im 100% sure. ill send the money first thing monday. i picked up a turbo for my car lastnight/today me and mark drove my moms 05 mustang from aberdeen to sutherlin oregon. we left at 8 PM and didnt get home until 8:30 AM then i had to go to work at 11 AM im on my lunch break as we speak, and im just a wee bit tired. looks like its gonna be another long night. i have to put the turbo on and have it running tonight too. ive been working 7 days a week so its coming together very slowly. ill bring our huge tables my mom uses at shows, and a couple of coolers. so how many people are confirmed??

[WHTLTHR79RS]

at this moment, our Canadian friends to the north have sent in more registrations than us have....get those papers to me pronto, or this might become a B.C. thing.

found 5 more 4-eye cars this week, though, two of them in the same park today. And Harlan Hare, with the moon hubcaps just signed up again.

Neil

[1SLOSVO]

Thats great Neil cus 4eyed86GT is looking forward to meeting him and seeing his car (he LOVES the baby moons)

[black1980fiveoh]

Hey Neil I dropped the registration form and $12 with Neilson on the 2nd at his work place. At that point he said there was only one Washington car: I hope this won't be an all Canadian event :) I'm pretty much set to go, just need to clean the 'stang up and retune the new carb.

[WHTLTHR79RS]

I got the $12 out of Nelson after the approiate beating, and yes the us apps are hitting the mailbox...keep them comming.

Neil

[twistin]

So was last years really the largest turn out of 4eye's in one field?
I'f so this year should break that record.
See you there.

[86GT5spdEVERETT]

im new on here, im hoping to make it to the brbq, its the day after my birthday, not looking forward to 31 too much but this sounds like fun and i dont live real far but when youre broke and got no money for gas what can you do. some people might not like my 86 gt since i have converted a few things like the wing and the qrtr glass and steering wheel. my car was really bad when i got it, 2 pounds of bondo later wah lah, anyways really hope to attend since i saw no 86gt's in the last years pics

[86GT5spdEVERETT]

my car will be messy as hell if i make it, always full of tools sorry guys shes not show shes go!!

[WHTLTHR79RS]

Twistin, I think that my 17 cars in the field is a record. Some large dealership somewhere could'a had more on their lot at one time, but these cars were in a field, ya that's it, a field. To 86GT in Everett, welcome aboard...go here for the application, and get'er in the mail quick. http://stangranch.com/bbq
And where have you been hiding from me at ? There is a white vert on the flats of 529 between marysville and everett. Also stop by the 16th street fruit stand on broadway and talk to the owner who has a red 86 lx t-top. You help round them up, and we will feed them. Forrest park / pecks drive has a couple too.

Neil

[WHTLTHR79RS]

OK, I just got the registration for the first anniversary GT 350 car, Gaylord, are your gonna be #2? and Dave K. where is your son's paperwork? that would make 3 GT350 cars this year...

Neil

[86GT5spdEVERETT]

Neildid u see the gt350 at mustang round up?

[7t9cobra]

i sent the money off this morning. i also got my trailor lights on the truck wired up. installed a hitch reciever, and got permission to use the trailor. i drove the cobra down the street today, but its still acting up. maybe one of the SVO guys there can give me some input. i doubt shell be going on the scenic drive but what can ya do?
anyway
see ya there
jeff

[chalkysexplorer]

Neil, the checks in the mail, add an other SVO:):):) Sorry for the delay but works been crazy!!!! Gotta love the entertainment business.

[WHTLTHR79RS]

There were several gt350's at the roundup, and I am trying to contact them. For those of you driving through Seattle, be warned that traffic is a mess with road construction. I would like to start at 10 am, and you will need extra time to get through downtown. I spoke with "Laredo" this morning, wants to get his SVO up here, and we agreed that he would need to leave Camas, WA. at about 6 am. If anybody wants to pitch a tent and camp in the field, there should be others, and I can bring the grill over early. The outhouse will be delivered friaday am, and the handwashing station will be set-up. Most of the guys from BC will arrive friday afternoon also, but they got motels in everett booked. They had a breakfast meeting and will arrive in a caravan. Makes me want to perch on an onramp 8 miles north and "intercept" them..heh, heh. KEEP the registrations arriving please, as "Thomas" from last year with the black stang bought another car and will be parking TWO of his cars in the field along with a buddy with a third. I'm taking the Capri out today to round up some more "chase-downs"...wish me luck....I talked to F4FNTM, and told him that the stangs MIGHT outnumber the Capri's this year, that made him happy....(calls them "bulgy-fendered freaks"), but hey, we are a tight group. This is also open to ride alongs, if you want to bring someone with you...just cover the $6 for food. Other cars that arrive that don't fit the catagory will be placed in the other field. This will be a pure 4-eye event. I can't wait !!!!! I also have the time to run the event into sunday also if enough people bring tents...just let me know. BRING folding chairs...

Neil

[7t9cobra]

wahoo!! me and mark are there til sunday! i have bad news for the cobra. the 3rd turbo i picked up still leaks. not as bad though. i think a couple of valve stem seals may have popped off also. it runs and drives fine, but it smokes terribly. looks like i might be tagging along with mark or somethin on the drive :( how is the weather forecast looking for arlington??
jeff

[WHTLTHR79RS]

Been cool today, should warm up this week cause I got outside work to do. Found another 4 eye coupe today just driving around.

Neil

[86GT5spdEVERETT]

Neil, the checks in the mail, add an other SVO:):):) Sorry for the delay but works been crazy!!!! Gotta love the entertainment business.
im betting your the svo guy i talked to at the mustang round up...aussie

[86GT5spdEVERETT]

Been cool today, should warm up this week cause I got outside work to do. Found another 4 eye coupe today just driving around.

Neilim tryn to get my friend to fix his grey 86gt but hes just not into mustangs, hes a sad case that got a nice car and scewed up the motor and doesnt really care cus he would rather drive his truck,lol.
i really hope i can make it, at least im close, it all depends if i have work this week, actually my landlord will give me money since my birthday is august 17th and he likes my mustang collection as hes a diehard ford guy with a nasty 78 mustang II. so i think hell or highwater ill be there, i tried to chase down another 85-86 a few days ago, and im going to see if the owner at hughes automotive with a 85 gt t top white like mine will go..you might even call him he is kinda not nice or i would still work for him but, he runs a shop so hes stressed out. i cant remember his name. if i remember ill see if hes there tomorrow. my starter is going out so i might have to push start my way down there,lol, i love having a stick.
i have no jack that works i would change it. anyways this meet will be a cool make up for the lame birthday i will have the day before

[Snake]

[WHTLTHR79RS]

I went to see Huges automotive in my Capri today, and gave him the flyer. Then I stopped at another shop with a Mustang, and the owner went nuts and grabbed a flyer....then up the street to the car stereo shop where everything was thumping and bumping,,,more flyers out, and one guy took pics of my car as he used to work at the shop that I did down the street. over all, a good day...just me and the car.

Neili went down 4th where the mustang ranch guy lives with his 85 vert 5.0 auto and talk to him, i didnt have flyer, he said he might go, but my printer is down so i dont have any flyers, hes next to car toys towards 128th right on the corner where the 7up sign store mart is, cant miss it yard full of cars and a black vert in the yard and a light blue 79 notch in the driveway. house looks like a duplex, hit him up if your in the area again Neil. if you want you can meet up with me in everett so i can give you the 6 bucks and the form and if i have enough gas we can scout out some everett 4eyes :)

[86GT5spdEVERETT]

theres a gut with 2 4eyes in the silver lake area i need to seach an old thread in the mustang forum to find him as he doesnt post much on there, then pm him. also theres a reginal section for mustang forums, do u go on that site?

[86GT5spdEVERETT]

ok i posted a note on the mustang forums reginal section with a link to this thread

[82mustang]

Still looking forward to friday! i drive my car for 1-4 hours every night, gotta get that 351w broken in! anyway i put on some granatelli weight jacker LCA's today, along with their adjustable uppers and it really helped, the car feels more "firm"..but since i am running no sway bars it's still mushy and rolls like my truck on high speed turns, but i got her stopping good luckily, that 351 can pick up speed quick! wow it's 3 AM...better get to slepp

If the owner will call me to confirm their attendance, then all will be good. Anybody that wants to be a spectator is also welcome..IF..they call me and pay the $6 for the food. Their cars will be parked in another field with the hoods closed. This will be a 79 to 86 event, no exceptions. Dogs and alcohol are a no-no also. I have had some whinning and sniviling about later model cars attending, but it ain't gonna happen.
Go to a friends house with a printer and roll off a few copies of the 2 pages from the website and pass them out around silver lake if you want to...just keep enough gas in the tank to get here.

Neil

[WHTLTHR79RS]

7t9cobra, got you cash today....thanks..

This will be a pure 4-eye event. I can't wait !!!!! I also have the time to run the event into sunday also if enough people bring tents...just let me know. BRING folding chairs...

Neilwhen i got there...late, there was only one white one

Neil,
is there a schedule of events for the day?? I have to work late Friday night so I won't be leaving Portland at 6am thats for sure. Anyways, just want to make sure i don't arrive to an empty field.

I would like all to be at the field at 10 am..then the photo shoot of the cars. around noon or 12:30 we line up for a 8 mile drive around the airport and then regather to start the food. from there out, it's just eat, BS and show cars with a few rides shared in the afternoon intill people need to start heading home. some will be here all weekend too, camping in the field and hold up in motels.

Well I'll do my best:):):) By the look of things it's going to be best to avoid Seattle at all due to raod works. I was thinking of traveeling I-5N to 18E, 167N, to 405N and then back onto I-5N near Lynwood. Sound like a good plan????

[WHTLTHR79RS]

I would check the Seattle news like komotv.com and look for a traffic report for downtown seattle. I guess that traffic has been moving ok and the work is way ahead of schedule. Ddon't need to go too far out of your way.

Q.I was wondering if I my child came (7 years old,going on 14)would he have others to play with or would he just drive me crazy ?
By last years pics,there is lots of room for him to run,are there any restictions that would
apply to him?

Thanks Neil.

[WHTLTHR79RS]

Twistin, there might be some other kids present, not sure how old. Beside my field is another field that belongs to the church, and they still have some "old west" buildings standing that were used for the week long bible camp for youth. Bring a footbal if you want, as my field is 100 X 300 meters. The biggest thing is crossing the border, as I have to have a CERTIFIED copy of my kids birth certificate to get back in the states. Know what you need to possess a child while crossing the border. Also, wear good shoes.

Twistin: We will be bringing our 3 year old so the more kids the beter as they will be bugging us less I hope.

Only 3 more days of cleaning left on the stang but only one day left until the BBQ! Oh well!

Hey ya'll,
got home safe and sound after some long delays on the I-5 south. Many thanks to Neil and family for a great event. It was great to meet some cool new folks, see some real nice cars and hang out with some other members of the Commonwealth:):):) Hopefully we'll get more cars next year and I think there might even be a few more SVO's. We'll see.

[1SLOSVO]
