time for another so-cal IE/OC meet!!!

[v8only]

Hey guys, it's been a while since we've done anything....Lets have another meet!!!

I have several ideas.

1. my house as usual for a bbq (although it may be nice to do something different)

2. Meet at the local bbq place where they have car shows in the parking lot on occasion and eat some bbq food, maybe go on a small drive afterword

3. go to marks house in yucca valley (you out there mark? :) )....I need to pick up an intake/carb from him anyhow.

4. Meet at the track...I know fontana is having an event in the near future

chime in all, everyone who can drive to this area is welcome to come!

I'm not much help here since any and all sound fine to me. It's a long haul for me so as long as I know where it's at, it's all good to me. I think having it at someone's house is good for the community work on someone's car thing.

Dean T

[anthonydalrymple]

Ditto; I'm always very flexible and I can help in just about any way or manor needed. I vote for you're place Jeremy because it is so central to all of the "regulars" whom we know love to attend.
( Except for one a-hole whom happens to be having a good time in Vegas I hear!)...... Not to mention a garage, garage with excellent stereo & video capabilities, garage fridge we fill with beer, a sloping driveway that strikes fear into anyone trying to put the entire car up in the air on four jack stands (unless we've had enough of previously mentioned beer & forget about that little detail).....;)

[fordfreak300]

I am up for my house. Being as I am out of work until this writer strike is over kind of puts me out of traveling anywhere. I had hoped the have the car smoged and licensed again already, but it is on hold of course. What do you guys think of coming out here?

[82cat]

I'm interested. I'll keep checking this post to see what's goin on.

[v8only]

sounds good to me....

corey is up for it too.

hey mark, throw out some dates...lets figure one out.

[anthonydalrymple]

Standing by pending my picking up some wheels in the process of driving all of the way out to the desert......:evl:

[fordfreak300]

LOL Tony I'm doing the 5 lug conversion yet. I have to collect all the parts and get new wheels and I have to get back to work and get caught up before all of that takes place.

Lets try to do this BBQ sometime soon. How soon are people available?

[v8only]

my sched isn't too bad. I'll post up later when the wife comes home

My ponies will swap right onto your car, right? ;)

[fordfreak300]

lol my 38 protects my wheels until I have matching 5 lug wheels.


So not this up coming weekend but maybe the follow weekend good for a BBQ?

[Dean_T]

Sounds good to me. This weekend I was going to go back to the wrecking yard and grab a bunch of stuff off a two door Fairmont sedan. It has the vent window door but the door shell is in better shape than mine.

Maybe I could get some pointers on how to rebuild an 8.8? I have 4.10 gears and an 8.8 but need to order the rest of the rebuild parts.

Oh, the Fairmont wagon is up to the killer hill challenge!

Dean T

[v8only]

Well, I'll make a phone call to Thomas and see if the civic is up to the challenge..lol

Btw, you know what happened to that beast after it blew the rods??

he took it in and paid a lot of cash and had a used japanese replacement motor dropped in.

that only lasted a few months before it blew the head gasket...now he's got to do the upper end on that motor, apparently his cost. Poor guy. You'd think he'd learn to stay the **** away from honda's by now.

[fordfreak300]

does his stang run? Tell him to leave the honda at home...lol

[Marz]

I'm for it. And I could bring the GT this time for that 8.8 job and maybe a fine tune to the 4180c?

I don't drive it too much. Trying to keep it as an occasional weekend car.

And anybody know where I can smog it w/o actually having to smog it? ;)

[AT6svo]

I'll keep my eyes on this thread, can't make any promises though.

I'm doing a widebody kit and engine swap on my house right now...

[fordfreak300]

a widebody kit and engine swap on your house? What are you living in a motorhome?


I have to change the fate. The weekend I was referring to is the 26th and my wife has a doctor's appointment. Lets shoot for. Feb 2nd. It's a sat.

[AT6svo]

If thats the same weekend as the superbowl I'll be out of town already.

Widebody kit = adding 500sqft to my 1100 sqft house
Engine swap = remodeling kitchen and adding 2nd bath at same time

[v8only]

feb 2 is wide open for me.....I'm scheduling it down for all day, please let me know everyone asap if this won't work.

[steedfreak]

Okay Jeremy, you can count me in for the meet. The stories I've heard alone is worth the trip. :roflugh:

Jamie

[v8only]

jaime...lol took me a minute to figure out who you were!!!!

then I read your sig!

Fantastic to see you on this site!!!

For sure, I'm there set in stone too.

I just took my vert on it's biggest maiden voyage since my dash and autometer gauge install/rewire job. Took it down to tustin and back.

She ran flawlessly except for the ****ing oil pressure gauge that kept leaking on my knee. Guess I'll have to fix that.

Haha, cool man. Good to hear the vert is running well...


Ya I finally got off my arse and joined. Lots of good things happening to the stang lately. Doug is finally finished with my motor and if all goes well, and I can scrape up the extra $$'s, it will be in soon.

Jamie

[fordfreak300]

You can count me in, wait it's at my house isn't it lol.

[capriman86]

its too cold for a BBQ...its only 21 degrees out!!

Wait...where am I :ugh:

[v8only]

it's been in the very low 70's here, hi 60's during the day. I was driving around with the top down yesterday :)

[fordfreak300]

Yeah the weather has been nice out here in the desert too.

[capriman86]

I only wish..its 18 now...woofreakinhaaaa

[Marz]

Hey guys, I have a set of 83+ Mustang rear window louvers I don't want anymore. I was thinking about tossing them on my 85 GT but decided not to. They need paint and a little work but whom ever wants them can have them for 20 bux. They have their props and all. They are the type that stick to the back window under the trim. And they're metal.

If anybody wants them I'll bring them along.

[Dean_T]

Feb 2 is a go. I need a break from dismantling cars.

Thanks Mark and Jeremy for hosting and arranging the Southern Cal FEP meet.

Now I can see how tough it was slapping in EFI fuel lines on an '84...

Dean T

[v8only]

btw, corey and thomas don't check into FEP as much either, but thomas has said that he's a go in his vert 5.0, and corey has said he's a go too.

[EightySixNotch]

where exactly are you at v8? id like to meet some fep members even thought imma feel noob and not wanted but hey its worth a shot :(

[anthonydalrymple]

1) I'll show up as usual.
2) I might have to work a few hours that day; so i might have to be "fassionably late".
3) Where will the event be held? Jeremy's or Mark's place? Inquiring minds whanna know....;)
4) I should have fresh time slips from the weekend before....:evl:

[fordfreak300]

Tony it's at my place.

Eightysixnotch It is at my place which is in Yucca Valley. In case your wondering that is north of Palmsprings near Joshua Tree and 29 palms. You are more than welcome to come.

Dean I can show you what I did with the fuel lines. I'm not real happy with it yet and plan to redo some parts and I will show you why. It would have been much easier had I not already had subframe connectors. I had to actually run the fuel line under them at one point. Making them lower than I would care for. I am going to temporarily cut those sections out then double flare them and add some fittings to both sides and put them back in. That will at least let me get the fuel line between the body of the car and subframe connector. I should have my 3g alt and Mark VIII fan installed along with my a.c. reinstalled when you get here. I am only able to do things I previously purchased right now since the writer strike is going strong and my unemployment is only $96 a week. I planned ahead and had a few things to do with the car ready to go though. I go out every few days and work on it for a day. I am really glad to have this time with my wife and kids though. The baby is so big you guys aren't going to believe it. Was the baby already born last time everyone was here?

Ohh yeah one more thing, you guys will have never seen my car as dirty as it is now. Car is dirty, engine is filthy. Maybe I better at least wash the car and clean out the interior before you guys get here. I am looking forward to seeing some of the changes to your cars as well.

[v8only]

come mark, the meet isn't for a week or two....we're ALL dying to see your handywork with your mustang, so it better be damned clean ;)

I do believe your baby was born last time, but was extremely young. I look forward to it greatly!

eightysixnotch, we usually meet up at my place in corona, then all leave together from there.

I'll likely be driving my 86 mustang up, although I could drive the hemi ram up as it seats 6, but i'd rather not feel like a taxi to mark's house.

corey and thomas are coming, and thomas is driving his 5.0 too, so there should be plenty of room for all. eightysix, we've spoken a lot in pm's...don't think your notch is up and running under the 4 banger power is it?

[Dean_T]

Cool! Thanks Mark!

I have a Fairmont wagon so if anyone wants 10 holes, rear quarter panels off an '86 'vert, or 'vert doors, PM me!

Dean T

[fordfreak300]

Blah, I was reclocking my 3g alt and screwed up and broke the brushes on the voltage regulator. I will have to go pick up a new one tomorrow. I have it already to go in, bracket cut. Just need to run the new 4 gauge wire from the alt to the starter solenoid. Then I can wire in my fan.

[v8only]

mark, if you're broke, I may have an alternator to give ya

[fordfreak300]

The alt still works, I just need to get a new voltage regulator. I don't need the whole unit. I broke the brushes reinstalling the back of teh case as I did not remove the voltage regulator like I should have. Thankyou for the offer. My 2g alt still works so the car is not dead in the water. I will get the 3g alt fixed tomorrow after I buy a new voltage regulator and install it. It will take my longer to drive to the autoparts store than it will to install the darn thing.

[EightySixNotch]

my house to ford freaks house :(
Total Est. Time: 1 hour, 48 minutes Total Est. Distance: 106.10 miles

[fordfreak300]

Stop in Corona at Jeremy's house and meet up with everyone. It'll brake the time up a bit and is definitely worth it.

[EightySixNotch]

eightysix, we've spoken a lot in pm's...don't think your notch is up and running under the 4 banger power is it?

naw man, this 4speed trans blows i think imma have to try and make it to the next meet. im trying to get a parts car but cash flow isn't really budging right now because i got laid off about 4months ago. Id really love to meet up but my 4banger stanger isn't gonna keep up with you guys unless u guys like driving at 60mph cuz your tranny sounds forced as fawk? hopefully one day i can meet u and 50 personally while we doing a transplant in the tan nocho :p yay, or nay??

[v8only]

you could always ride up with someone.

[capriman86]

you could always ride up with someone.

Cool...whose picking me up :D

[Marz]

Cool...whose picking me up :D

I guess Jeremy volunteered.

:p

[anthonydalrymple]

Son of a.......

Guess what day the drag races are being held & I get to run for the first time in forever?

[v8only]

well damn....i'll race you on the way up to marks :)

[fordfreak300]

aww dang Tony. That sucks. Is everyone else still able to make it?

[anthonydalrymple]

aww dang Tony. That sucks. Is everyone else still able to make it?

Yeah, it sucks..... But i can go drag race in another month..... I'm still coming up for the get together......

[fordfreak300]

ohh cool. LOL I figured you would have gone racing. Especially since I am sure you already paid for it.

[Dean_T]

That's cool. I wouldn't have minded a date change. Wouldn't be the same without Tony showing up. Okay, I really wanted to see the cage in person ;)

Dean T

[50 Proof]

Tony it's at my place.

i'll be cruising up as well but with Jeremy

[anthonydalrymple]

I'm still trying to convince Jamie to take the drive; he didn't have a problem with a meet at Jeremy's place..... He's just not to thrilled with the idea of burning up $40 in gas to get up there and back right now; his finances are a bit on the tight side.....

[v8only]

have him ride up with one of us

[anthonydalrymple]

have him ride up with one of us

You know how it is; he wants to bring his ride......

[Marz]

I'm in the same boat... It's just hard to spare the cash right now. Too many bills to pay. :(

I want to go... want to bring my Mustang. But I just don't have the cash.

[v8only]

my ram can fit 6. However, I'm going up in my mustang.

If my bro wants to drive the ram, you broke mother****ers can all chip in for gas and ride up in that if you want

[fordfreak300]

See there is a way. Besides you all now you want to see my EFI conversion. We even painted the inside of the house yesterday. All that ugly blue on the walls is gone!!!! Marz the Desert stars are calling your name, they miss you.

[steedfreak]

I'm still trying to figure it out. On top of everything, my wife told me she took a personal day that day. If I can, I will.

[v8only]

I'm going, period. I've got the time scheduled off with the wife already.

like I said, I'll be in the vert. I don't think i'm taking too much stuff up, so I "may" have a spot in the backseat for someone.

And, as mentioned, if you all meet up at my place, I could likely convince my bro to drive my ram, and you could all pitch in a few bucks for gas.

[fordfreak300]

I am almost ready to start the car again. I just have to hook up the power wire to the starter solenoid from the alt, the alt side is hooked up already. And I need to find a 12v ign wire for my fan controller and I can test it all out. It is actually raining today so I took I stopped there. I have to jack my car up to get to the starter solenoid as I hid it in the wheel well and I didn't feel like parking the wifes car out in the rain.

[anthonydalrymple]

Don't worry. If i have too; I'll stuff Jamie in the back seat of my car...... As long as he doesn't mind kissing the roll bar on ocassion that is....;)

[v8only]

no sudden braking, lol

[fordfreak300]

I am excited. I may go out and finish the car later this evening.

[anthonydalrymple]

I am excited. I may go out and finish the car later this evening.

What do you plan on doing? You install that Mark VIII fan I brought over to you last year?

[fordfreak300]

Installing it and my 3g alt finally. I only have to hook it up, I didn't make it out to finish it yet. Only 2 connections left. The mark VIII fan is already installed on the car and the fan controller is mounted and only needs the 12v ignition wire hooked up. The 3G alt is mounted and all wires ran and hooked up except I need to hook the 4 gage wire from the alt to my starter solenoid. The solenoid is in my wheel well though so I have to jack the car up for enough room to get to it. I'll get it finished tomorrow afternoon for sure though.

[fordfreak300]

Jeremy you should really talk Cory into driving your ram, you can take your trunk lid home that way...lol It's still here.

[50 Proof]

Jeremy you should really talk Cory into driving your ram, you can take your trunk lid home that way...lol It's still here.

I'll drive the ram if there are several people who want to cruise up in the ram too. That Ram gets crap gas mileage, I don't want to pay for gas all by myself, lol

[v8only]

15 mpg's....lol TOPS highway only

[EightySixNotch]

hey guys i think i might be able to make it to this one, haha just picked up a 86gt fox body im so happy and my girl wants to take it from me already cuz its automatic :(

*edit*
pics and thread will be posted tomorrow me promise!

[Dean_T]

15 mpg's....lol TOPS highway only


Ugh, The Fairmont wagon does about that and it's a 2bbl 302. Sometimes old tech sucks!

I live off in the wrong direction so I'm going alone again, naturally...

Dean T

[fordfreak300]

Dang your truck gets twice the mileage as mine. I get 8MPG in my suburban on the freeway. It weighs in at 9,000lbs though.

[EightySixNotch]

Dang your truck gets twice the mileage as mine. I get 8MPG in my suburban on the freeway. It weighs in at 9,000lbs though.

gosh damm! why teh poor mileage? thats like driving a hummer man, hey gass is dropping as well, how soon until they bring gas back up to $4.00 ??

[v8only]

I get 8-9 average on city in my 03 hemi ram.

trucks just suck for mpg's

[fordfreak300]

eightysixnotch, a 9000lb truck combined with a 502 Big Block Chevy with a TH400 tranny and 4.10s in the rear = bad mileage. On the + side of things, i can pull anything I can hook up to my old burb. It is the 3/4HD Towing model which was a fancy way of saying it has all of the 1 ton suspension and brakes. I actually pulled a 1/2 ton chevy up this huge hill to my house on 7 cylinders at 65mph, I was only at half throttle. The rocker arm nut on one cylinder kept coming loose. I got mew rocker arm nuts and all is good. Now it always fires on all 8.


I have been watching the weather, so far it looks like during the day it will be in the 60s here. Bring your jacker for the evening times though.

[fordfreak300]

Car starts and the Mark VIII fan and my 3g alt all work as they should.

[Dean_T]

Cool beans. No joy riding? Should we bring stuff or will we do the usual grocery run and buy tons of food items?

Time to check the batteries in the digital camera...

Dean T

[v8only]

sweet!!! I've got my mark 8 fan already...I just have to come up with cash for my 3g update first.

Tony, as mentioned in my other thread, your t5z is coming along nice. It would be nice to get it to you by saturdays meet, but that all depends on if the 3/4 slider comes in, and if I can get all the play within tolerance without having to order more shims.

[anthonydalrymple]

It's cool Jeremy. I'm suddenly hearing more than ever this sharp metal tap from what sounds like the valve train on the motor. I'm not going to race it with that potential problem going on and i don't think I'll have time to adjust the valve train before Saturday...... Might have to do it at Mark's place....;)

[v8only]

valve train huh?? not too common...roller rocker adjustment?

[fordfreak300]

My rockers make all kinds of noise. I can't wait to get roller rockers. And the heads they go on.

Jeremy I watched e-bay since our last meet and finally was able to get a 3g alt for .01 cents. That's right a penny. The guy mislisted it.

Tony we can adjust anything you need to while your here. Jeremy is going to do his mass air conversion here also.

Dean I think we can just do a grocery store run when everyone gets here.


I still have to clean my garage. It has been trashed since I started my EFI conversion. Although it will be easy to clean back up. I'll get it done today.

[v8only]

I've had some valve train noise forever too. #4 is noisy. Every once in a while I get a huge clattering up top at #4 for 2-3 seconds on startup. I think one of those lifters are bleeding down. It also has a steady slight ticking...I just don't want to rip off that damned intake.

[Dean_T]

I guess it'll be a good time to debug that vacuum leak I suspect the 'Mont wagon has. I think I'll be watching what everyone else is doing to get around to the 'Mont, though. LOL!

Geez, it gets cold here in VC it must be worse in the desert. I'm definately bringing a jacket!

Dean T

[fordfreak300]

It is 6:30pm and currently 45* so that's not too cold for night time. It was in the 60s again today.

[anthonydalrymple]

It is 6:30pm and currently 45* so that's not too cold for night time. It was in the 60s again today.

And what is the temp this moment? I'll bet it's 30-34 degrees...... Sober my butt up for the drive home I a re'con....;)

[fordfreak300]

It's 40* right now.

[Marz]

Does anybody want these louvers I have? Hell, We can come up with a deal. Their for a 83+ Mustang.

[Marz]

It's 40* right now.

Hey man, I have an iPod mini with 3600+ songs on it. All rock, blues, metal, jazz, oldies, and classic rock. I have the iPod to RCA jacks and am willing to bring the iPod if you have the inputs to play it through your stereo. I can put it on random and we can have a few hours of fun listening to it.

Sound cool?

:p

[v8only]

isn't mark's stereo an 8 track or record player??

lol...does it have rca's??

[Marz]

isn't mark's stereo an 8 track or record player??

lol...does it have rca's??

Yeah, thats what I'm wondering.

But if it wont, I have a set of portable speakers we can hook it up to that I use at work or durring BBQ's. Even charges while playing. :P

I know he had a portable CD player hooked up to it last we were there. If thats the case we can use that 3.5mm jack on the iPod.

:)

I have an fm transmitter for the ipod, i'll bring it if you bring your ipod. It works really good actually.

[v8only]

maybe I'll bring my laptop so I can suck down your entire collection, how does that sound?? I can trade....i've got like 25 gigs burnt onto dvd if you want me to bring that stuff.


btw mark, what time is the earliest you want us there?

:(

Thats a good idea! How does it transmit? Through the earphone part? If so, I could keep it plugged in and charged for the whole time!

[50 Proof]

Sorry, this one plugs into where the charger cable plugs into on the bottom of the ipod. I'll tell you what, I'll bring my ipod too so when your ipod is charging, we can use my ipod.

Not all of them are MP3's man.

:(

I have a program on my laptop called soundtaxi that converts music files into MP3's. What format is your music in, the apple m4 something or other format? If so, you can use itunes to convert your music to MP3 format.

[v8only]

sweet....bring your laptop corey with that program, and I'll bring mine.

massive music trade!

[fordfreak300]

Well My archaic stereo actually does have RCA jacks and that portable cd player hooks in through them and uses the headphone jack. So we are good to go there. I can charge up my ipod too although I have all of my songs on my laptop as well. I have no where near what you guys have as far as songs though.

As far as what time to get here anytime is really fine. I'll be up very early with the baby as usual. So tell me when you want to be here.

I have a 4180 C that I pulled from truck a while back. Mind if I bring that and we can possibly play with it? I don't have any money for a rebuild kit though. :(

All I have to do is swap bases with the one in the GT and it should work (after adjusting the floats and all that is. :)

[Marz]

Hey, I'll bring some fat tire ale... a couple 6's.

[Marz]

Mark

Do you have an XBox 360? If so I can bring Halo 3 and I could kick all of your Areses! :D

[fordfreak300]

no I play my vid games on my PC.

[EightySixNotch]

no I play my vid games on my PC.

counter strike?

[50 Proof]

Cool thing man!

Also, I'd like that program too! I'll bring my USB Drive and you could toss it on there!

I'll bring my laptop and will give you a copy of the program. The copy of the program I have doesn't run on Vista, hopefully you're running XP and not Vista.

[v8only]

hey guys, tony, marz, dean...what time do you guys plan on leaving??

this time around, it's not summer, so no heat to contend with on our undercooled overpowered fox's....

However, i'd like to get an early start...i'd personally like to leave in the a.m...what about you all??

do you all want to meet at my house, then cruise up and meet tony part way up like last time?

[Marz]

I'll bring my laptop and will give you a copy of the program. The copy of the program I have doesn't run on Vista, hopefully you're running XP and not Vista.

I'm flexible. I can work into whatever schedule you guy's come up with & meet you on the freeway as before......

[fordfreak300]

I have a bbk h\pipe that looks like it has cats but no cats were ever in there. I am giving it away free. If someone doesn't take it I will throw it away.

whatever time Jeremy says he's going to leave at, add an hour to it. :p

ohhhh you might want to tell Jeremy about this!!! There's a good chance he'll want it. he's still got the stock restrictive H on his vert.

[v8only]

oh HELL YEA MARK!!! I have a stock 4 catted H hollowed out, however i'd rather have a 2.5 " setup.

I'll take her!!!! BTW, can I install it there ? :)

[fordfreak300]

It's your Jeremy and yes of course you can install it here, but take your old H-pipe with you. I don't have a lot of room left in my garage and I am trying to clean up.

[v8only]

i'll take everything home possible...hopefully the trunklid too

[50 Proof]

What time do you want to leave your house Jeremy, 10am? If we leave your place at 10am, that'll allow me to stop at my eye doc on the way to your place to pick up my new contacts. If you want to leave earlier than 10, let me know.

[AT6svo]

Sounds like I'll be missing a good one. Too bad I don't have an extra 4-5K laying around or I'd convince Corey to sell me his 86. ;)

Have fun ya'll. I'll be in Mexico knocking back the Coronas with a quickness.

[v8only]

ten sounds fine corey

haha and I'd be way too tempted to let you convince me to sell it. I love the car a lot but my 351w project has me thinking about what type of Mustang I want to put the engine in.

have fun in mexico, that sounds like fun actually

[Marz]

Ok, I'm bringing some 6's of good beer. One is a 10.8% barely Wine style ale. The other is a couple 6's of Fat tire. :D

Also, I have an unopened bottle of E & J XO Brandy that I'll bring if y'all want me to.

[v8only]

hey, what the hell, why not!!

Dean, Jasen, are you guys meeting at my house at ten am, or are you guys gonna just meet up at his house??

as well, Terry won't be coming this year...he has no money for gas for the way up or food...

[fordfreak300]

Anyone need me to Pm them my address again?

[Marz]

Anyone need me to Pm them my address again?

Sure... just in case... :p

[Dean_T]

Jeremy,

We're shooting to make it to your house by 10.

Mark,

Just in case, PM your address again. In case I can't find it in my archives.

Dean T

[v8only]

lol...i had the directions still printed out in my mustang from last time.

Guys, I spent the entire night actually washing my mustang, THEN i waxed it, THEN I cleaned the interior too!!

I spent every night this week assembling the black interior, and although not complete, she doesn't look as much like a junkyard dog as before.

Dean, I've got your center console packed.

you don't, by any chance still have that rear view mirror from that vert you parted do you??

Dean, I know you don't have a cell, but Jasen, I think you do. Give me a ring and keep me notified of your progress. I'll be up with the kids, so don't worry about waking me up.

[fordfreak300]

counter strike?

Call of Duty series, mostly CoD4 right now.

[fordfreak300]

I didn't wash my car, but I cleaned my garage. I worked on the side a few days this week so I didn't get to do as much as I wanted. But the garage is clean which is a good thing. See you all in the morning.

[anthonydalrymple]

I'll be waiting for a call this morning. I'm ready to go.....;)

[v8only]

dean and jasen are already on the road on the way to my place...i'm packed and ready to go.../.

i'll call you up in a while

[v8only]

btw, directions are telling me to take the 91-60-10.....so not sure where you want to meet tony

[twister]

had a weird brake issue on the 02....well, I missed the meet due to a failed drivers side PBR caliper

[fordfreak300]

Hey thanx for coming out everyone. It was a blast!!!! Good thing we didn't try to do it today. We are having a huge sand storm. What a great time yesterday though. Parts swaping was nice. I am glad some of you could use the extra stuff I had.

[50 Proof]

Thanks for having us out Mark, I had a fun time. We should do that again sometime in the future. Maybe next time all of our Mustangs will be fixed so we can all drive them out.

[fordfreak300]

It was defiantly a fun time. Leave it to Marz to always bring some good alcohol. It was great to get to see everyone again. It was really nice to give back to some of those that have given to me.

[v8only]

thanks guys, I too had a fantastic time, despite the fact that my mustang took a leak right before the cruise up...

good news is, I just went out to it, and took a look again, and saw that my leak is coming from the upper radiator hose where it goes into both the radiator and water neck...it's leaking at both ends. I can see a trail of water going down the whole tank from the upper radiator hose. Ah well, what did Tony say about using used parts (like spark plug wires and spark plugs) Guess it's time to stop using parts car radiator hoses, and buy some new ones. As marz said yesterday, if we didn't have so many damned chiefs under the hood last night, one of us would have seen that, and could have run literally right across the street for another hose....All is ok though, it was fun cruising in the Ram...almost better than in an old mustang with no heater or stereo.

Bad news is that my farts are absolutely horrendous this morning....after eating all that crap last night, my ass smells like a concoction of charcoals and a rotting red meat.

Oh well, the wife and kids will just have to suffer through it.

It was great Mark! Jeremy and I left our chairs there... I guess we'll pick them up next time, eh? :p

And leave it to Jeremy to shoot the glass of Brandy instead of SIP IT and enjoy it! :lol:

[fordfreak300]

Yes I found the chairs and put them up for you. It was an absolute blast. This morning I had the baby rocking out to Twisted Sister that I got from Jeremy as I was going through all of my new music. She was dancing like Axel Rose. I almost forgot about the Ipod mods til now too. I am going to search them out now.

[fordfreak300]

no pictures yet? I was sure someone(ahem Marz) would have posted pics for us by now.

LOL those are some funny pics.


FYI my wife dropped a cigarette in her lap, she is not playing with her self.

[Dean_T]

Hey all! Dang I slept until almost noon today but I did get home at 2:00am...

I owe you all a some cash for the food - I went to the front since there were 7 of us in the check-out line and y'all must have ponied up the cash then. Either I reimburse now or I kick in double next time for the food.

That was fun! Now I know how much air a Lincoln MK VIII fan can move! Whoosh!

Mark, thanks for hosting the get together I'm sure we all had a mondo good time.

Dean T

[anthonydalrymple]

I had a great time as usual. The booze was good, people were great, Mark & the family were fantastic as always, and what the heck was it with the freak'in high wind shear on the way home!?!? Cripes.... My car was being blown from one lane into the other no matter if I counter steered or not......

[moelll]

i wish i was there guys. i probably would have been driving the Ranger though, being that my mustang is currently out of commission (awaiting a new engine, rear end rebuild and a few other things). looks like you guys had lots of fun

[fordfreak300]

We had huge wind storms the next day. I really had a blast it was fun.

Dean you have to work that out with Tony, as usual he pitched in extra.

Moelll, I wish you could have been here. I understand you are doing a much more important thing right now though. You are providing us the freedom to get together like this. For that I thank you more than words can express.

For those that didn't make it, you really have to try some XO brandy. Marz brought some and man we drank the whole bottle. Good stuff!!! Wait I should be thanking them for not showing up, it ment we got more XO brandy.

[steedfreak]

Woah, you guys look f'd up:omg:.Good job:mrgreen:. I have to wash my eyes out after that last pic:eek:. I went fishing early Am before the wifey got up and managed to get back in before she woke up. The wife rarely has a weekend day off and I think I made the right choice:cool:. I will make the the next meet hell or high water. Looks like you guys had a blast.
