Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

-
I just wanted to post a few pictures from the get together and thank all of the great people that attended. Pat and I had a good time. I would liked to have seen a few more members there but I can understand with the gas prices going back up and so many people out of work and having working hours cut. It was a beautiful park and we couldn't believe how clean the restrooms were...

Hopefully some of the other attendees will add more pics. I don't know if anyone got a pic of slick71's Blazer or not. If not he will have to post one. I know he didn't make it in the group picture.

Kudos and Rep Points to Slick71 for assisting firedog in his moment of distress..:)

Leon, it is great to see some pics of the event. I regretably was unable to attend the meet, and know how much fun I missed out on. From what I've heard, everyone seems to have made it home safely which is good to hear.

To say the least I had 4 members drop by my house on their way home to remind me just what I missed..... :D

Can't wait to see some more pics guys!

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

Looks awesome, wish I could move back and join you, but there just doesn't seem to be too many jobs in Des Moines right now.

Borrowed from an ol Classic Song "Every Picture tells a story. Don't It? " Thanks ROD Stewart. Well Sara sent these. she's becoming a groupie..Thanks sweetie as I was enjoying myself too much with all the excitement. Enjoyed the meet very much so and always like the BS around the camp fire. If you missed it..shame on you!!

Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to chime in to let everyone know I made it home without incident as well. It was great getting to meet everyone and sorry I couldn't stay the night. I had too many irons in the fire for Sun morning. In fact the bed of my green 70 is FULL of mulch and other landscaping stuff for the next week or so while we work on the GF's house.

Anyway, I hope to see everyone in Sep (if not sooner).

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

it's eye-vell, not evil :devil:

but yeah, that's mine that i and a buddy threw together over the past 9 weeks. Thanks to ToeJam(Chad) it made it home in one piece. I had one of the gauge lines blow out on the way home, and he fixed it by plugging the fitting with some aluminum from a pop can and some rice krispy wrapper. Had a pretty good leak, but held air well enough to get home.

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

I see that "bobbo" guy in there.You gotta watch him,he'll travel to meet other truck nuts.And I say other cause he is one.Looks like a great time.Thanks for sharing.

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

I stand corrected about Ivel being evil. Great group to be around.

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

DAMN, meant to leave the furd outa that one picture.

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

Looks like a great time.

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

Having been camping with him a couple times...the only time he is evil is when the youngin's need it:tms::tms::haha:

Was another good time with all involved. Think I finally got fully re-hydrated at some point today.:barn::alc:

Glad for all who were able to make it...esp Firedog after the tranny probs (more reps for Slick71 for the transport and storage) At least it happened in K-ville. And also bobbo for the quick d-shaft repair.

Sure there will be more meets to get to the ones who couldn't make it:D:clap::thumbs:

No serious issues, just the cut air line from the shifting bed, and it's lengthy delay. And that over-bald tire on Ivel's '69.

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

I wasn't able to make it either...would have liked to have met some of the guys that are on here. Looks like the weather was good for camping and thanks to those who posted some pics for those of us who could not make it.

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

I would have been there with the 69 burb but i was in Topeka, KS at the O'reilly summer nationals watching the top fuel dragsters and top fuel funny cars. Looks like a good time.

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

LOL! Thanks PD! :) You know we are all obsessed! Thanks to all who had a part in setting this up. And more props to slick71 for the help with firedog's truck! I have said it before and will continue to say that this board has the best group of people! Never a hesitation to help out a fellow member! Props to all! Next year you can all stay in the "hotel" with us! :) Might even bring the multiple car garage so our trucks can all be covered. :lol:

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

Thanks Wayne for putting the pic of the ford up and thanks to all for not throwing bricks. I had a great time and was glad to meet some new people. Saw alot of nice scenery and even had a good nights sleep for a change. It was nice to have a day off and relax, and now seeing how nice some of the other guys trucks were makes me want to get mine done that much faster.

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

You all look like my kind of people, I wish would went but I talked myself out of it.

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

I don't see a pic of Leon talking on the phone and making a lost soul regret not being there. but in that person's defense he was busy working on another member's truck. that person will do everything possible to make it in Sept though. he may even drag a couple other local guys along.

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

I am leaving again for Kirksville tomorrow to do a recovery on Firedog's 68 along with some additional help from our great board members. PICS and details when I return Sat eve.

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

I hope the trip goes as planned Sammy!

If you run into trouble, give me a shout. I'll pm you my number. I'll be around the house all weekend.

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

Thanks, Should be loading his truck Saturday if everything goes as planned. After this some serious REP points going several directions, and fully deserved. proof some swell guys n gals on the board.

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

I didn't see it in any of the posts, where did this take place, and will it be in the same locale next year?

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

I'll be putting some feelers out there, but we'll probably end up a little closer to Des Moines next year. The 4 hour trip I've done in the past couple years gets to be bit much.

There have been a ton of guys from MO show up both years, and would hate to make it much of a longer drive for them, so I'm thinking about Lake Red Rock, or Lake Rathburn for next year.

Maybe some of you MN guys will make it down then :)

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

My thoughts exactly! Once I get a new hanger bearing and new tires, I'll trust it further than the local cruises. I drove it 6.5 hrs home when I bought it, so 4 hrs is easy. Of course I my have to get the radio working, long ride with no tunes! Might need the OD working too. Geez, I guess I still have a load of stuff to fix!

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

can SD guys come? I promise we will be good and not burn the place down.

Re: Midwest Board Meet Pictures
 

You guys are more than welcome. :D
