I'd be interested in the club info for the new club in Terrell. I live in Kaufman and would also be willing to do anything I could to help out.

Your right. I should be ashamed of myself. Been pre-occupied w/ work and whatnot.

Haven't made much progress on the ol' truck either. It's always in the back of my mind though. Hope to be able to spend more time on it when spring roles around.

It's good to see so many in the immediate area.

No shame needed..... it's called life :lol: . I understand about slow (non-existent) progress too. I have friends (?) that consider me a professional slow-poke.

Our get togethers are attracting around 13-29 trucks and cars each Tuesday night. We meet at East Texas Choppers [kinda cool since the club is called East Texas Classics] from 6-9pm. ETC is on HWY 80 right before you get into Terrell [coming from Dallas/Mesquite].

One of our members is 2bits and he lives off Duck Creek in Garland. Sure would be cool to see more locals come out and join in the fun.

Spray Bomb....next time I know we're gonna be in Mineola I'll pm you the day before. We go fairly often.

You know what guys?..... All this talking about meeting up and hot spots is going to motivate me to get mine on the road pretty quick. Then slowly get some more work done to it.

I make it to Kellers about twice a month but I always go with my brother in his truck. I have seen Scoti's truck when he rolled up there with the Coys and seen some other trucks out there but never know if you are a board member.

I've met 69chevyshort @ Kellers a couple of times & each time there were other board members (I just can't remember names for sh!t).

I think the BBQ owners & church that was next door are the reason it ceased (more likely the church since it was in their lot where everyone parked).

Our place has a bar and restaurant attached and they have a great deal on both at happy hour. The other side is a Harley shop where they build wild customs. Everyone there likes the cars and trucks coming around. The area in between is a huge covered patio with the largest outdoor fan I have ever seen. The front lot is fairly good size but like Keller's they also have a back lot [no $5 cover on Sat.] which is twice as large. We have our own DJ outside [be sure and ask him how the panel truck is coming :D].

Sammy Walker's is a great BBQ place. I really doubt they had anything to do with shutting it down. Coulda been an issue with the church though. In the meantime, ya'll come out once in awhile...we're about midway between everyone in this thread.

It's called East Texas Choppers....about a mile west of Terrell on HWY 80 on the westbound side of the road.

Must be a sign of the times....guess their car count is low these days. Back when we were going the cover charge was every Sat....course there were over a 100 cars each nite back then.

There has been some slow nights up there but outweighed by the packed nights and I've never paid to get back there. First time hearing that! Ill start carrying a 5 dolla bill on me now.

You might not need it...they may have discontinued it due to the high cost of gas....last time I saw it first hand was in '03.
