    I'll get the discussion started. Ordinarilly, I'd go to my favorite source for local car shows but it has been bought out by another party and redesigned in the process. Needless to say, the show calendar is not well populated with shows to choose from. So lets start brainstorming on where and when we want to do this. Anyone know of any N.Texas area shows we can tag along with? It would be nice to target April-June to beat the heat.

    Heres this one 5/26/12

    CARROLLTON - 6th Annual All Ford Picnic sponsored by The Early Ford V8 Club of North Texas - Sandy Lake Amusement Park Carrollton Texas - ModeT - Model A - Mercury and Lincolns – 2007…looking for street rods and original classics flatheads to late model overhead valve motors, 38 classes of trophies, excellent door prizes, food and drink.

    That sounds good to me! We can always meet Friday nights at Little Rd and I20, next to Whataburger, a few Mavericks show up there. Or, I'm up for just about anything.
