2015 Florida "Barner's Bash"
 

I know its a little early to start talking about the next Florida "Barner's Bash" event but, after reading Don35's response to Kube's question about the Dennis Carpenter re-popped '40 Trunk Lids, I called Real Deal Steel, in Sanford, Florida, and asked if they would be opened to giving us a tour of the facility on the Saturday of the "Barner's Bash". They told me that they do give tours and, when I let them know the date that we want to come for the tour, they will make every effort to have an assembled '40 Coupe body on display.:cool: They are emailing me some additional information, that I will post in this thread. So, in addition to our usual Sunday BBQ we'll have an excellent cruise and tour on Saturday...:) We haven't scheduled anything for the Friday of the event as yet, in fact, I'd appreciate it if those of you who are planning to attend (from outside of Florida) would provide suggestions as to what weekend in (February/March 2015) works best for you. We'll take the survey results and select the weekend most preferred.;)

Vic:
The last weekend of February or first weekend of March would be ok by me.
By then we have had enough white stuff & cabin fever has really taken ahold by then...

Ok Bill, yours is the first vote, we'll see who else chimes in and make a decision sometime in December...

Well since your driving past Lakeland I will be glad to feed the bunch again. As you know I 'retired' and turned the place into my hobby shop. Still a lot of fun projects to see and I may be able to come up with some interesting entertainment.

How about the third weekend of March. My Birthday weekend.

Tom, that would be excellent! Everyone is still talking about your hospitality at last years "Bash". As things get closer, to actual scheduling, we'll take you up on that extremely generous offer. Thanks. Vic

Our V8 club went there a few months back and REAL DEAL STEEL is excellent! They also are doing 1955-1957 Chevys. http://www.realdealsteel.com/
If you get a chance to go to their shop, GO!!!!

Remember the second weekend in March is Amelia Island so I wouldn't plan it then!
