SoCal checkin' in

[shorty70]

Hey from Redlands in the IE. Just started on my 70 project. Don't expect it to be rolling for awhile, but would be interested in a meet sometime. Any plans coming up this spring/summer?

What up fellas!!
I think the rent got to high for R&R's. You know us hotrodders, we spend money on our projrcts not our stomachs. I here in Inglewood on Tuesday nights at the Home Depot parking lot, they have a meet there.
Next to Hollywood Park Race Track.

Huero, Johnro, where you guys been?

[huero]

Anyone?

[VDOG]

Bro lets get it going.
How is your truck coming?

[Sinister]

I'm up for it.

[VDOG]

I think I can make it. Are we just inviting trucks, or can we invite others with cars also?

You can come walking, on a bike, or on horse. It's all good!
I might take my Nova. Georges has decent parking and is one of the few family owned/run restaurants left. I thought it would be a good idea to patronize it. Never have ate there but have heard good reviews.

Is everyone o.k. with the time and day?
I believe John want's an earlier time.
I'd like to see a head count.

Tell all your friends,
huero.

[Sinister]

If we're going to do this we should post a thread on the main board about it.

[VDOG]

I agree. Or at least send private emails to a few people.
Other than that I will be working on my new engine.

[huero]

I need confirmations otherwise we will cancel.
So far it is just John and I.

[Sinister]

I think we need a little more heads up.

[huero]

You might be right.

Breakfast Cancelled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone want to volunteer a time and place or do we want to do this next weekend at Georges 50?

Well if you guys want to do BBQ, I talked to my friend and he said we could hold a meet there. Its in Anaheim down the street from the Honda Center.
Just would need a few weeks to put it together and see if all are interested.
As far as Breakfast, yea lets throw it out there and just do it. Those who show thats fine, those who dont, maybe next time.

[VDOG]

Also fellas, its not like we have to have a meet, if someone is working on their truck and need help, invite us over. In fact when I decided to take my bed off, I will be calling on a few of you.

[VDOG]

Every Saturday at Artesia and Hawthrone in the Starbucks parking lot is a meet for cars and trucks. Starts at 7am and ends around 9:30am, anybody down?

[Sinister]

I'm up for it. When we get a date for it, we should post on the main forum as well.

My truck is no where near driveable, but I'd be interested in coming out from the IE for a weekend date at the end of April.

[JOHNORO]

sure why not ....

[VDOG]

If you cant drive your hotrod, still come. You never know who can help with advice, work or even parts unless you come a meet others who are fixing up there rods.

[huero]

It might be a good idea to post a couple of dates so you can get responses on who can make it or not.
Just a suggestion.

Very good idea Huero. You guys know im open for suggestions. Just trying hook up with you guys and a few more new people. Also dont give up on the breakfast idea.

[smokeysjet]

hey VDOG.. thanks for the welcome!
she runs really strong .... only 2500 miles on a rebuilt 350... pretty sweet.

for right now i just want to lower her a bit and put some new wheels on.
its a 3/4 ton with 8 lugs.. i really want some basic rally wheels but im havin a hard time finding those in 8 lug.

my biggest hurdle though is im tryin to find an experienced mechanic for basic stuff... also someone who is trustworthy with suspension/lowering knowledge.

anyone on this board have any recommendations in L.A. for mechaincs and or a suspension guy with 68-72 truck experience?

thanks alot.....
best - smokey
