Less than a month to go now folks. If you're still on the fence about attending, jump on over, and get signed up. Looking forward to attending this meet. This will be my last EFV-8 C/A meet untill the 2018 GNM in Dearborn, Michigan.

I need to pull my old Ford out of the mud and pump up the tires. Maybe it will rain to wash it off. It should run if I pull it with the tractor. The darn chickens has been rousting on it. I hate that.

I'm sure it's show ready year round, Redneck.

I heard that someone found a speck of dust on one of Rednecks cars about two years ago, and it made the headlines in their local newspaper. The folks in Waynesburg, Pa are still talking about this in disbelief .

JM, We are flying in Tuesday night. We'll take a cab or will need someone to pick us up at the airport in a V8 Ford to the hotel. I'll call Glenn before we leave. Looking forward to a great meet.

We can pick you guys up. Just let us know your ETA.

Just came in from garage for a lunch break. I'm doing a last minute tune up on the 35 fordor before heading for a car show in York, PA tomorrow morning. The distributor had ~ 25k miles since last rebuild so I thought I better freashen it up again. Back to the garage now for final assembly and then a quick trial run. Hopefully it will be running good for the trip to Chantilly on Tuesday morning.

Jm, I'll give one of you guys a call with our ETA. It looks like the airport is close to the hotel. I have never experienced the traffic in that area so it may be a longer commute than I think? I'd like Glenn to show up holding a sign with my name on it like a chauffeur, with a chauffeur hat on as well .

Jeff took a ride down to the hotel a couple weeks ago to check things out in the area. He said the hotel is close to the airport and there was a lot of construction going on everywhere around there, with contractors/construction workers parked along most of the surrounding roads.

LOL...We'll talk to Glenn about making some huge signs and renting a complete chauffeurs outfit. Maybe get his '35 tudor decked out to look like an official airport Limousine .

HOT DOG, I'm getting psyched for this meet! Can't wait to see all our friends! I haven't seen ookpik & Co. since Brainerd.

I will still be bringing two cars, an extra car for Seth & Alex to share! I'm sure we'll get you fellas collected from Dulles.

Safe travels all!

Yesterday I wash the mud off my Junker and scrub the whitewalls. Do you remember when guys use to paint whitewalls on? Then porto walls. Then there was a trick to get them on correct. I got a old set of mud flaps on my 35 pickup. We went to the Amish country in Ohio last week and I drove the 50 Ford. Should have taken a boat. It rain all the time. The 50 sure got dirty. 5 more days.
