some time we should all meet some where in calgary fairly central for everyone just need everyone to sign in and we can decide:canada: :gmc: :metal:

I'm thinking Red Deer as more central. Anyone else?

Three Hills 2004 would be a good place

think about us southerners haha

Its only about 45 mins from Calgary and its a huge car show. I've been there everyyear since 92.

ur right i forgot that wouldnt be so bad
whens the carshow?

Its the first weekend in June I usually go for the whole weekend. There's about 1500 rides there every year

cool mayeb that will be the place to go i still think the fathers day classic is a good idea tho

If it is in June, and isn't interfering with exams, I would love to meet up with you guys and go to a good car show =)

Is anyone else interested in an Alberta meet. I've had some other clubs interested in doing something for the provincal anniversary

grnddwn -- I'm about 10 minute east of the park, I'd love to meet up with the rest of the Albertan members sometime :)

Depending on when, I'm in.

i think grndwn has the best idea so fgar with three hills

Wow, three Sherwood Park members that actually post! Thats pretty neat! Any of you guys have your trucks at the show and shine that was at the Alliance church during the summer? I saw some sweet 67-72s there and one REALLY sweet 73-87

Yeah I had my blazer there

Duude, I reconize that Blazer! Its sweet :metal:

That street seems familiar too... Isn't that by Sherwood heights?

Hi Russell,

Just due other things, I didn't make it into a single S&S this year. Hopefully next year will be different.

Cheers,

Hey Al is that new motor in your Jimmy now.

Yup, sure is. I put it in about this time last year and tweaked with it and other stuff on and off over the summer.

How's your project coming? What are you up to with it?

Either of you two have a spare seatbelt bolt lying around? I snapped one trying to remove one of my seatbelts, I also need a rocker bolt, I've got one that won't stay tight, so my rocker keeps loosening up and ticking, also causing me bad gas milage and makes it stumble a bit at an idle...

hey guys im kinda new here. i live in the park too. i drive a white 88 s-blazer, usually parked at galaxy (work there). im thinking of selling it for a 67-72 truck and bagging it.

Darren

Hey Darren, I see your truck all the time, looks like a bad blazer!

I live out on 220 between Highway 16 and Baseline, about an 8 minute drive of the park, just past Ardrossan.

ya its an alright truck. id liek to bag it but instead im gonna sell it and get an old truck if i can find one

There is one for sale in Edmonton for 600 bucks, I can get the ad for you if you want it, needs some work but seems pretty solid

really? how bad is it because im into doing body work, i worked on my truck for 8 months fixing rust and modding it. replaced pretty much the whole bottom half of the truck, and fixed rust all over the place. my dads been in the autobody business for like 35 years, he used to own broadmoor auto body, so he showed me how to do stuff. so im not too worried about body as long as its not over kill. ya if u could get the ad that would be great.

Darren

is this it? http://www.canadatrader.com/trader/result/affich.asp?rubno=4100&r=%27ALB%27%2C%27EDM%27%2C%27CAL%27&ste=&sid=&issr=1&yfr=1960&yto=1980&kfr=0&kto=0&pfr=0&pto=0&dm=1&dp=4&mk=CHEVROLET&md=&kw=&rc=&or=0&oby=7&pg=1&vid=1454610

Try this out, tell me if it works or not...

Hey, I'm gonna be doing some patch panel welding in the near future, but I'm really worried about warping everything up, or doing a poor job, you wanna maybe come out someday and do some welding and grinding for me? I'll be sure to pay you for it

Yep, thats the one!

lol, yea im sure we could figure something out

man this would be a nice truck: http://www.canadatrader.com/trader/result/affich.asp?rubno=4100&r=%27SAS%27&ste=&sid=&issr=1&yfr=1960&yto=1980&kfr=0&kto=0&pfr=0&pto=0&dm=1&dp=4&mk=CHEVROLET&md=&kw=&rc=&or=0&oby=7&pg=1&vid=554628 id perfer a short box but in this months street trucks they make one out of a long bed floor and new sides and tailgate.

That would be totally sweet!

do u have msn? or aol?

ZieglerDigital@hotmail.com for MSN, got rid of AIM a while ago though

Ok let me get this thread back on track. Three hills will be a fairly central show. It is on the first weekend in June there is camping and hotels in town. If everyone that is interested will PM me their email I will get all the info out to you. I'm also goin to try and organize a meet with the BC guys at the Radium show in September

We go to Three Hills every year as well. We had a purple S blazer with a Targa, a green slammed Astro and now a rusty 71 GMC burb. My brother-in-law had his orange 72 pick-up there three years ago. Its a great show and would like to meet in 2004. Count me in. Michael

I used to have thr extended cab S-10 that was almost the same color as your blazer

I'll be at the Three Hills show (most likely) Dunno if I'll make it to the Radium one unless it turns into a family retreat with a slight detour on my part :) I used to go to Radium all the time, I just love the hotsprings there

Im definately interested in three hills and camping would be awesome we could all camp and drink together

lol, all but me anyways :) I'm slightly underage, and don't drink anyways :lol:

I'd be interested in the three hills weekend.. Have some pals that go every year, and they claim its second to none, although it sounds like more of a rice rocket convention at times...let me know

Theres very few imports its mostly rods and restos

And a lot of muscle cars!

hey low burb, pm me; I'm from the Hat too!

Where is Three Hills at? I wouldn't mind going to a big car show, seeing some trucks wouldnt be to shabby either.

Its about half an hour south of Red Deer. Where are you at?

Hes from Athabasca, long drive down to Three Hills for him...

yup, when is the show usually?

Its the first weekend in June PM me yor email, I'll be sending everyone some info this week.

There's a guy at work that goes to the Three Hills show every year. He seems to think it's one of the best going. I wouldn't mind meeting up someplace like that though I don't think my truck's going to be on the road by then.

And as a 2nd choice, I say Red Deer is not a bad idea as being fairly central.

Greg

Not to de-rail the Three Hills gathering, this is just for summer planning. As I have said I have gone to Three Hills for 15 years, never missed a one. With that in mind, I have to say that the last 3 years I have gone to Street Wheelers Weekend in Lethbridge, too, and if I had to choose between the two, Lethbridge wins. If you live in Alberta, you should try to get to this show/cruise/100 ft. acceleration contest gathering. I will be at Three Hills no matter what though. Michael

LETHBRIDGE :metal: :metal: :burnout: :burnout:
sTREET WHEELERS IS SPECTACULAR!

I'm back sorrry I'm kinda draggin my ass on this I got a link to the town web site

www.town.threehills.ab.ca/

I'm already booked at the rest easy motel
Let me know if your going and we'll get together

i think im going to be camping

I'll be there, but I'll be sleepin in the truck in the parking lot (can't afford the hotel room, lol :))

It really depends on when it is, and for how long (may be working or something)

Anyone headed to the swap meet in Red Deer in a couple of weeks?

Greg

I didn't make it through all teh posts, but if you decide on something more in the south- bc people might cruise on over!

Too bad I dont have my drivers Until november id like to come :(

hey kirsten how does something around the cranbrook area sound? Im gonna be camping up there all summer with my buddys

whats the swap meet in red deer consist of? does anyone have more info on it? Hey Russell...maybe if it pans out alright, we could get a couple guys together and head down?

Hey guys I just saw this Im from red deer , a meet would be awsome I have a couple trucks goin right now , I think three hills is an awsome show and would be an awsome place to meet , I am finishing up my 66 shorty and it will be at three hills , and im really gonna try and hit lethbridge and radium with it this year too ,


there was a quciktime swapmeet in reddeer this past weekend march 20th ,. the big one is comeing up may 1st so everyone write that down it usually a gooder. dont forget about powerama in edmonton april 16-18.

grnddwn I really want to see your blazer and person an I have been meaning to PM you I built a drop member for my 66( it on air ride or half on air ride right now) , and have a few dozen questions for ya. some hopefully we can meet up soon

Sounds like I'll still be free to head on down, and I'll most definitly be at the Edmonton show in the next couple of weeks. The GMC won't be looking any better unless I get job sometime soon so I can start spending some money, lol

Good news about the May 1st one as I had to miss the mini-March one and I probably won't make the 17/18th one at www.powerama.ca

We should go grab some burgers or something if we're all at the same place/same time.

Greg

(BTW I heard the quicktime swap wasn't as good this year as previous; any truth to that?)

Its all in how one see's it , personally I thought the quick times meet wasnt too shabby but my oppinion is probably biased because I found everything I was looking for in good shape at a decent price !! over all tho I did think it was a decent meet. the one in may is usually awsome , Ive never been to powerama and id really like to check it out this year!

Considering the only swap meet I've ever been to was last year's quicktime meet, I don't have a whole lot to judge 'em by :)

I think there are a few around the province but they're not always that easy to find out about. There's a guy here who gathers as many car shows/dates as he can that are around this part of the country (some in the US too) and compiles it all into a few pages. It's called the Calgary Cruise Calendar and it's at
www.members.shaw.ca/calgarycc/ but I don't think he's put the 2004 edition on the web yet. I have a copy that I'm willing to copy and mail around if anyone wants it.

Greg


(oops...spoke too soon; the 2004 calendar is up)

The Edmonton calender will be out by Powerama

Hey grnddwn -- Have you pulled your truck out yet? I'm starting to see some nicer vehicles out and about in the park with it getting nice out :D I would love to see it sometime :D

I'm still up for a meet sometime, and I am willing to drive a couple of hours for it too, just as long as I either have some spare parts with me (dizzy, carb, etc) or have the truck running properly. I would trust it all the way to Fernie BC and back, but she has been dieseling a lot recently, and I don't want her failing me on the way to somewhere, lol

The blazer was out acouple of times but now I gotta pull the motor out and get it back in this week. Only on month to Three Hills who's comin?

I'm going to try

Greg

We'll be there. Bringing the Tahoe.

I'm still in :)

Truck still isn't lookin any better though, lol :D

Have we got a specific weekend in mind yet?

So did anyone make it to 3 Hills?

Greg

I made it unfortunatly I took out a rod bearing doin so and Im off to collect my truck today , wasnt overly thriled about leaving it unattended last night in three hills so I hope she's allright today

I couldn't make it, my parents went camping this weekend and left me and my sister at home, so I had to stick around and take care of the sister...

Got pics? :D

http://www.performance-shop.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=20224.0;topicseen

A few there. I've got a couple too that I'll try and link in a bit here.

Greg

We were there. Probably the worst weather for the show in the past ten years. Windy, followed by a 5 o'clock rain-out. Lots of great cars and trucks, though. Michael
