yeah, me too! a guy in the club I a member of posted that he was going and was willing to split the cost of the room, but I didn't get my car back until late Friday....trust me, I actually thought about trying to make it, but things just didn't allow for it this year....we'll have to try and find something that would allow us to get together a meet sometime. I've been able to make a few out of state shows that allowed me to meet a few others on here and it was awesome, putting faces & names to cars that you see all the time..

I bet there was a HUGE turnout...will definitely try to be there next year!

yeah it was great. i dont want to even try to guess how many cars where there 300, 400, more? Dont know but i'll be there next year for sure.....hopefully in a differant car. I went to All Ford Nationals and then to Mustang Week. Both are great shows and i saw alot of forum members cars but didnt actually meet to many of them because everyone is always walking around and not by their car. You almost have to know ahead of time and exchange numbers or set a meeting spot. Dont think there are any more big shows this year. Any recent pics of the car?

no not yet....I will probably do when I get the rest of my mods going next week....
I have to still install my adjustable pan hard bar and brace as well as my fresh air kit that connect to the brake bezels in the grille...I am going to wait until I get my new heat exchanger so i can do all the same time...
