Thread: Whatcha got planned for the weekend????

Tweet

Well, it's already gonna be the 4th of July weekend--and all the good rod runs, car shows, family stuff, etc.

Curious what you guys have planned, gonna do a Hot Rod get together some place or just chill out at home and enjoy the extra day off??? I'm actually considering firing up the old '71 pick-em-up and hitting one of the local small town shows. Walt, the guy who owns the '36 Plymouth I'm building, sez we need to take a weekend off and go play!!! Might do it!!!

Leaving tomorrow morning for Mississippi for a niece's birthday party on the 4th(birthday is 5th but she gotta work)probably have some fireworks, take in a car show somewhere---just got back from Cobra in London, Ohio--

But yet tonight I got to balance a Callies stroker crank assy for chev LT1--did the splayed 4 bolt main install, align bore/align hone today AFTER a trip to chassis dyno to do one of the NicKey Camaroes---Edelbrock supercharger, automatic trans over 500 hp to wheel with 499 torque----idles at 850rpm

Dave,it sounds like you need a weekend off..DO IT...We had last weekend away,did a swap meet,picked up a real nice 29 A grille shell,had a Austin A40 front mold unloaded on me.. got two to do already.. This weekend will be dodging rain,,playing inside,,I have a room that I need to finish renovating before I get spanked..And if I get thge chance,will either spend time on mold development,or the wifes Customline..Too wet to mow the lawn[again]..

Oh man Dave.Your not going to be home!!!.Excuse me a minute.
Hey call the airlines and cancel the plane tickets.I was planing to stop by your house for alittle BBQ.Oh well..........

Probably be a quiet weekend. I need to finish the major cleanup on our big 5th wheel travel trailer as it only got a minor lick and promise last year. Too many trips to the roof of it with scrubbing tools in hand have about turned my knees to jell-o. No car shows nearby but a couple cruise-ins that I might take in - or maybe go to one of the three turn left tracks. We do need to put in an appearance on the 4th for the town big 'do' and my seldom seen son and family might grace us with their semi-yearly visit.

We will be at Great Lakes Navel Station for one of our sons graduation. Then to Wis. to see father-in-law So I expect the gas prices to Skyrocket

work work work NO fun for me short block some big stuff .. and stock stuff . and aline bore on a454 looks like the shop floor is not getting painted any time soon

Might work on the "Z".........................or not............

Weatherman just said upwards of 100°f temps this weekend, ..........so maybe not.

Gary, I'd honk as I drive by but I'll probably do 113 west to 47 then south

Jerry

PS---just finished the stroker balance job so now its fold laundry, pack bag, sleep for a few hours and first stop West Daisy Place, Coal City-----

I'll be here puttin' a sign together for Exelon. Then it's off to Channahon to see a crane co.

It's supposed to be hotter than the dickens here with a possibility of thunder storms. Most of the fireworks have been cancelled due to the fire danger (that might change if we get some real rain though). I'll probably just spend some time on 37.

I'll be in DC with my oldest daughter and her family. I won't have time to do everything I'd like to do but I do plan on making it to The Wall, the Marine Corps Memorial, Arlington, a couple of the museums and tours of the Capital and White House. I'm taking my laptop so I can be in touch.

Whatever it may be, it'll be indoors: house, car, shop. S'posed to get to 110+ daytimes by Monday; been in the high eighties to one at ninety overnight the past week and change so even doing anything after dark is a bit on the warm side.

Mike, if those T-storms do come 'round down there, just send them on east; they need the agua over in NM, and we don't need the humee-ditty up here.

No plans... probably get some time on the car (I Hope)... Since I have to work on my birthday (5th) maybe I'll get some new socks or clothes! LOL
