    I am in. Like I said before, better late than never. I got the message to Helen about my Registration. It is on it's way and should be there on Mon. I emailed her and told her to expect it then. I asked her to email me my Reg. number. I am good with Denny's. I am glad to hear that more people from Wash. state will be there. We need it. I have been working on my car. I painted the underside. It looks good now. I also restored the trunk area. It is freshly done. I also have serious ball joint issues. mine are toast as well. I do not think that I will be able to do anything about it yet. I am short on the cash. I will take it easy. On a different note, I saw a maverick Grabber for sale up here in the auto trader, the guy is asking $9700.00!! Yeah my Jaw dropped. It was in nice shape and it was like grabber orange (Red?)with black interior. I guess that these old cars are starting to go up, eh?

    What a happy message...!

    Such a cheerful little message... brightened up my day considering I spent 10 hours cleaning the car yesterday and it's raining today... but at least I removed all that green stuff that was growing in the rubber trim.

    but yah... supposed to clear up for next weekend... only 6 more sleeps until the cruise!

    Front and rear end swap - done. New brake cylinders, shoes and innards - done. Wheel bearings - done. Power valve and piston rebuild - done. Ball joints and tie rod ends - done. 2 wheels mounted and 2 more in the mail. If I can get mounting, alignment and lube done on Saturday, which it looks like I can, I'll meet you guys at 11:30 at 3710 Broadway on the 25th. It'll be close.

    I sent centerline an email informing him of new location.

    Coop, I will see you sometime Saturday afternoon. I will give you a call just to make sure you are around and to give you warning. :)

    Matt, is that Maverick holding together now?

    Whisky, keep scrubing on the Comet a clean car is a happy car.

    Flyn Ryan, take it easy coming down with the ball joints being questionable dont chance it.

    Shaun MAVMOD, wish your car was done so you could bring it, but at least take some pics of it and bring them for us to see.

    Cliff, you know if youi can keep your foot out of the four barrel you will get better gas mileage---- Yah I know were is the fun in that.

    And to anyone else that thought about coming but thier car is not done, come anyway with whatever car and lets all meet one another.

    See yah there
