    Since my project car parts are still all over the house, I'll be in the swap meet lot on Friday late AM - Sunday AM, probably in space 13 or 14, with my big ol' black F350 and a bed (partially) full of never to be used by me goodies ready to be treasured by the next owner .

    (Now, let's see, ~850 total trip miles @13 mpg = 65 gallons of gas x $4/gallon = $260 + $140 for a room + $100 food = $500 (for an expensive weekend in the sun and forever rain at York )

    Dave, you better be selling a lot of your goodies and treasures if you intend to get back home.


    Saw the weather forecast for next week this morning. Supposed to be beautiful...... thru Friday. 70's and 80's during the day, upper 50's and low 60's at night. CRUISING WEATHER!!

    Of course, we all know weather people lie, so don't forget your rain gear.

    Bob - I have been to the NSRA York Nats every year but one since 1986 - and out of those 21 years I have probably gotten wet 17 or 18 of those years on at least one day.

I should be stayin over on the N.Highland street side with a bunch of friends (So-What crowd). Gonna be a good time, and to finally have something I built and stay there too.

    Ya never know - though you're a year too late for the electric wiper.

    You folks with the early MoPars - I almost feel sorry for you, having to adapt so many good Ford parts to your rides

    You are sooooooooo funny.. C'mon, Mopar Guys PAY TO BE DIFFERENT. You all (Ford & Chevy Guys) know that. I'm so used to lookin forever and payin more for my stuff, that I usually make my own brackets to bolt it all too.
    There was a company in one of the buildings last year that was selling the 12v motors that would fit 46-48 Plyms. orig. location but you needed to have orig. wiper arms for the motor. I have all that stuff. Just need the 2-spd motor.

    Yes we commute. As for parking, I usually try to park on the grass to the right of the Toyota Center just after coming in the gate. It's just south of the swap meet area. Wife likes it there because you can see the cars coming and going and it's close to the Toyota Center restrooms (very important).

    What do you mean Almost??? You either do or you don't. Only thing on my car that is a shared part with a FORD is the inside door handles and the IFS. I got more in common with a Bowtie like the engine, trans, driveshaft and IRS. I'll try to catch up with you in the Ford junk area.

    I cant get up there until friday morning.
    I was thinking about york this weekend, and realize I dont remember getting my registration back. So I ask the wife if she sent in my pre registration... Guess what, she forgot. So i'll be in the long line at the hotel, first thing friday morning. Will it Rain?

    Usually not too bad at 0900 when they open - but 1000 - good luck!!!! Just don't "harm" your wife - she just forgot. Her penance will be to wait in line while you wander the Holiday Inn parking lot

    Weather 'cast is for HOT - Partly Cloudy and the 80's but the 90's by Sunday

    Being hot (upper 80's or 90's) is almost as bad as rain, except my windshield don't leak with heat. But that hot this time of year with the humidity is bad, bad, bad. Had temps like that about 4 years ago, wasn't pretty.

    Dave, are you going to be running your new HHO system in your F350?? Might have been cheaper to UPS your parts to the fairgrounds and then just shown up in a rented Prius and set up shop.

    Heck Bob, it was well over 90 last year on Friday - then the skies opened and it cooled down on Saturday.

    I'm probably going to take the slowest 355 mile trip to York that I have ever taken. Once the RPM gets over 2000 rpm, you can almost hear the gas rushing thru that itty bitty 5/16" fuel line .

    I considered using my wife's Escape, but since I'm bringing a couple of rear center sections figured she wouldn't be overjoyed with its' tail dragging - plus she's not been "checked out" on this big truck even after driving the '79 F350 SCab years ago - and that had an 8' box and was 2 feet longer plus she has to pick up her frail 93+ year old mother for a day out
