Hey guys....what happened? The 30th Annual Corvette and High Performance Swap Meet is coming up in two (2) weeks, February 7,8. For all you that know this one, it is great for truck parts as well and the first big swap meet in the Seattle area this year. We should have a meeting there in the afternoon after we have had a chance to score those great parts we need. Everyone needs to drive their trucks to this one...I think mine might actually make it this time as long as it isn't raining...LOL!

I WOULD TRY AND COME TO THIS ONE AND BRING MY LONGHORN AND GET ADVICE FROM FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS...

Sounds like fun but, I have to work that weekend. Bummer.
Stllookn buy me a quick ratio power steering box for the flatbed. LOL:banghead:

Quick ratio power steering box. You got it! How much do you want to spend? I think you will need the whole kit though. I saw one at the Monroe swap meet for about $50...everything including pulleys, reservoir, pump, hoses, steering box, etc. I think that is what you are looking for right? It was a great deal. If you try to buy it all in pieces it will just drive you nuts and cost too much! Just my humble opinion after having done this a couple of times already...LOL!

Mike T was talking XXX, but I like the idea of the swap meet. We'd just need a quiet area to take care of the real business, something about incorporating.....

I'm in (with truck if it ain't raining), Scott

Not opposed....think it's a great idea....where is it being held?

Puyallup fairgrounds Mike. We could meet in one of the covered areas with tables, maybe the fairgrounds folks would let us use a room.

This will work. I can make it Sunday. If we can get a room for business discussions that would be great. Also would like to square away an area for parking for the club...Does anyone have contacts to slate this?

I made a call to the Fair folks. Debbie suggested I contact the Corvette club since they have pretty much the whole grounds reserved (and paid for). So I found a number and left a message for Larry at (360) 786-8844. I left my home number with him. If he returns my call, I'll fill y'all in on what I hear. Scott

10-4.

Mike, You bringing the new 502? It would be nice to see it and hear it run! I can probably do Sat or Sun. If it doesn't rain, I would really like to drive my truck.

Yes I am bringing the new 502.....it will probably drink 3/4's of my tank but thats okay.

ill be there guys :flag:

I tried to post a long winded message on our website. Didn't work. Yahoo said it was undeliverable to our Yahoo website - go figure.

Here it is:

The organizer of the 30th annual Corvette and High Performance swapmeet, Larry Johnson (360-786-8844), contacted me regarding allowing us the use of meeting space on Sunday the 8th at the Western Washington State Fairgrounds in Puyallup.

In a nut shell - we are very welcome. We will have to pay to enter the swapmeet, just like everyone else.

The conference room above the State Patrol Office will be made available to us. For those of you that are not familiar with the office, entering the Blue Gate, turn right, go beyond the grassy
area. The first building you will come to is the State Patrol office.

They will not be able to set aside a designated parking area for us. However, we can get there early and grab an area in the Blue parking lot for ourselves.

Larry also suggested that we distribute flyers announcing our club. I will put something together and go over early Saturday to deliver them. I may need some information from you Mike, as the point of contact. By the way, Larry (who owns the Corvette & HiPo shop in Olympia) owns a 72 stepside that he is building for his daughter and a 72 Blazer. He would also be happy to help us organize the club. His first question was "Are you incorporated?".

MikeT - I need to know if I can put your phone number on the flyer. What time are we meeting?

I know this was kind of windy, but I think it will be worth it.

Scott

Sweet! i want to go, but i don't know about my dad, maybe if we get my truck running again by then we could bring it! That would be awesome

I'm not in the club yet but I'll be there both days. I might even bring my truck if I can get the fuel tank in and the bed on. It should make it even with the old motor in it.

Randy

Do you have to pay a fee to be able to take parts to sell?

Chevy Punk,
Oh Yah you will have to pay. Contact the Corvette club for prices. Just set your step-dad down in his wheel chair and go hunting while he is holding down the booth. He will just love it. HA!!:D

Call Larry Johnson to see if they have any space left to rent. Probaly nothing inside.

You don't have to drive your truck to attend the meeting. Just be there.

If it rains, my truck stays home.

scott

I know I don't have to, I just really want to!

Guys, You have a place how about a time and date? Thanks for getting all of the info for us.

All right, Im beginning to think you plan these on the days I have to work!!!

I'll try to make it, maybe work will let me slide.....:(

So M.K.: You need some rain gear or you just ran out of duck tape........I undrestand......my work truck needs some rocker panels also, but really we all want to see that truck!!!!!!!!So bring it please.......no excuses................burnout: :lol: .........oh yeah, I'll be there rain or shine.......either day which ever works for most............theo goebel

Meet is at 10:30am......in the conference room above the state patrol office.

I'll be there both days because I have a couple indoor spaces and too many Corvette parts. Post the time and I'll see you in the meeting room. Look forward to meeting some of you guys. Larry

I look forward to seeing you guys there Sat, but I will be hunting parts at 10:30. This meet has later opening than most: 10 SAT & 9 SUN.

The meeting is on Sunday at 10:30. Are you coming back up for that?

Scott

Dah, let me put my glasses on.
Sorry, Sat is the big day for me...can't take two days of a swap meet.

we should be there with or with out wheel chair! lol Oldiron. I have met a couple of people who want to check out the club is it okay to bring them to the meeting?

yeah sure you betchya!

I'll be there! Though I doubt my truck will :( I might get lucky though.

Are we trying to get there early enough to park together on sunday morning? IF so, how early is that? I'm guessing it'll take me about 2 hours to drive there, but I'm looking for parts too so it'll be worth it.

Piper

I am guessing I will be there by 8 am...

i met a guy last night at the cash machine....he has a blazer and a 67 pickup...he may show up...if you could save me a few flyers ill leave them on my counter at work, actually i just need one..i can make more at work:metal: ...

sounds good.

Scott, E-mail me a copy of the flyer and I will hand out some up this way.
Thanks,
Dennis

Scott,

Better yet....upload it to our group site or send it to me so I can put it there....then everyone will have access.

On our webpage, under 'Files'.

scott

p.s. hope my brakes are together by Sunday. Wes ordered my rear brake lines and hose for me.

I plan to be there unless they change My sched at work, Truck wont be there though its still down to bare metal, look forward to meeting more of you guys.... Jack:metal:

So is the plan to be there by 8:00 and park in the blue parking lot area..........any idea how many members are actually coming...........Sounds like decent weather for Sat..and Sun.....Looking forward to meeting you guys this weekend.........

I am going to try very hard to get there by 8 in the blue parking lot to score an area for us...if someone wants to meet me there to help thats great.

Mike..................I will also try and be there at 8:00 to try and save a few spots...............

i can be there at 8 mike....i only live a few minutes from there....

Cool I will look for ya!

ill be drivin the blue 67:cool:

With a "For Sale" sign in it, I bet! lol

ya think:D .....

Guys if it's pouring rain tomorrow I may leave my truck at home...bummer but it's just a handful with no posi and bald tires.

its not supposed to rain tomorrow......

Looks like I'm going to make it on Sunday. Traded shifts with the Graveyard guy. So I will work Sunday am the to the swapmeet afterwards. Looking to see all of you.

That's good news Dennis. I took the flyers to the swapmeet today. Wandered around the parking lot before the gates opened putting them on windshields. Then left the rest at the information booth. Got my rear brake lines on and the rear brakes done, but I won't have an emergency brake tomorrow. And it won't be washed either!! LOL

scott

Dennis, Outstanding move. It will be good to see you again. Driving that flatbed or one of the other rigs? I am working on the stepside bed today so will likely leave it at home...down to the bare metal in some spots trying to make it look good! I will get it there...some day!

Well.it was nice meeting some of you guys today....Now I can associate some board names to actual faces......Hope that this club grows and that we all get to fix up our rigs like we would all like to................I will volunteer my truck for the next meet........Rocker replacement 101:D :D

WHAT UP GUYS just writing to say thx for the fun today it was a blast hey gr8scott if u could email me the logo we r gonna use so i can get it and send it to my friend at A&J graphics so we can get stickers magnets banners ECt thx. WOOT i got my blue dots for my tail lights and came home and bought some new head lights for my rig

Great to see everyone and some new faces, too! Looking forward to the next meeting when we can really do some damage...LOL!

I asked for info on the general discussion page - look for the question about picture of 3 trucks. Somebody posted it on there again for me. I'll put it on our yahoo site, too. Scott

Sorry I missed you all. I was expecting my truck to get delivered this morning. Turned out that I could have gone cause my truck didn't get delivered until 9:00pm. A phone call from the truck driver would have been nice. Oh well, the truck is here and safe. I'll catch you all at the next one.

THX Scott i got pic saved just gonna wait and read the posts to see if we get approval to use it I figure ill keep it black and white that way its cheaper to us all and once we get the approval ill get a banner made ill buy that way we got representation when we all together to show others WE ARE A CREW!!!
:burnout:

I too was bummed to miss the meeting. Puked a starter. Grr.

So, what happened?

Piper

It was great to see all of you and look forward to the next meet.


Meeting minutes will be available shortly on the CGTCW group page.

I forgot my camera so we will not have pictures of the second official meeting. I have pics dating back to the first meeting of the NW truck guys in Seattle at the 36th Annual Early Bird Swap Meet in 2002. I will put them into a book some day.

Gr8Scott...I'll trade you my uncut stepside fender for your notched one! I don't know where you will put your spare but that will be your problem...LOL! We found a couple of more guys for the next meeting...I just gotta get one of my trucks on the road!

I bought the truck because it had the spare mount, then paid Frank $50 for the right spare mount off his orange stepside. thanks anyway. scott

Nice truck...I want to look it over closer at the next meeting! We stepside guys have to stick together. Unfortunately it looks like we are losing Brent (breeh). He has gone over to the "Dark Side" of trucking...new ride and family camping...LOL!

I really got to get to this section of the message board more. I completely missed the whole thing.

What is the schedule for other swap meets/events this year?

You've got to go to our yahoo site more often!!

http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/CGTCW/

We're making plans for next month's meeting in Bellevue.

There is a swapmeet again this weekend in Puyallup at the fairgrounds. I'll probably go on Saturday.

scott

Guys,

PLEASE READ THIS....

I set up and single handedly administer the yahoo groups page for the purpose of conducting CGTCW business. If you guys feel this should be done here then I will close the Yahoo Groups site. It has to be one or the other. I hate to sound this way but it's up to you to check the board or setup your account to receive email updates to stay informed on CGTCW business. I do not want to maintain information in two places....it isn't necessary.

If anyone has any issues with this....please do not take up the bandwidth here.....post it on the Yahoo site.

I just signed up for a membership on the yahoo group. I'm out of the loop. I didn't know there was a yahoo group setup. Thanks for the info. I've got to make it to a meeting!

yahoo.....no pun intended..I just approved your request.

BTW fellow members...there is a chat room (http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/CGTCW/chat) available on the CGTCW site...

Okay, finally took the time to get a Yahoo ID. I'm in as soon as you let me, lol

You are in....thanks for joining!
