Early Ford V8 Club car show at Fitchburg Airport - Sunday 4/21/13

I will be going to this on Sunday...if anyone is going feel free to give me a shout and meet up or whatever, I'll have the old Impala with me.

This show is pretty awesome, it's on an airport runway/airfield and starts early, has a swap meet. This is where I saw that mint 1983ish Olds 98 that I posted the picture of a while back.
It's generally considered "the first big show of the year" in the area and is refreshing to go to after being cooped up all winter...

Hmmm, maybe I'll put the wagon in.

LOL, you probably could, I don't think they have any sort of year regulation thing...prob just pay admission and park on the grass or w/e...but here are some pics from that show to give you an idea, they are from 2009 and the last time I went, it's rained each year since but this year is SUPPOSED to be nice out:

That looks pretty damn awesome, actually!

If I don't go up to Conway, I'll shoot over there. Should I bring the illwood or the toasted marshmallow?

I thought about going to that but I might have work lined up so I don't think I'll make it.

I'd bring the Illwood, less'n you have the Mahshmellow all done by then! I'm sure someone would get a kick out of the FWB there though...
Keep in touch if you go, if you guys didn't notice the show is EARLY. 7am to 1pm. I'll be leaving accordingly, I don't know if I'll get there at opening since I don't plan on buying parts but we'll see...I'm going with a couple of my friends but I'm not sure yet who's going...

Sounds good. I'll know Friday night if I can go.

So who's going to this?

If I wake up early enough I'll be there. I have no work lined up for tomorrow, but if I don't wake up in time then I'll be working on the damn rear end in my tent.

I'm out, wagon needs wheel bearings, and I figure I should address it before I have a Tim-like situation

I am going, and an additional BADASS member has informed me that he is as well.
Bill, if you go, gimme a call when you get there. I should be there around 8:30am. Matt you can do the same if you go...

I totally forgot about this...

Sorry guys. Other plans were made for me since I hadn't had a firm commitment for this show. Looks like I'm doing brakes on one of my wife's girlfriend's trucks. Yay.

^LOL. Sometimes I'm glad to be single!

I had a good time. I did see the "SWT SS" wagon there, but I did not spot it's occupants!

I got kind of a decent sunburn but it was still a great show. Nice day out for it too. I took a few pics but not as many as normal...I'll post them later...

Nailhead, kehd.

I like that last one...

What the Hell was the guy with the backwards F100 thinking??? Uh, weird.

And dude, I love that yellow chevelle!

Sorry I couldn't make it. Was looking forward to it. Thanks for the pics.

That backwards truck freaked me out

Took me a second to figure out what the hell was up with that thing.

I like the novelty of it, but it's not enough to catch 4500 bucks. Not from me anyway.

No worries dude, there will be other shows. I think next weekend I'll go to the Amherst NH one, and then head to the mod day at Chris's shop and hang out for a while if it coordinates with anyone else being there, that swap/show is very early and we're usually taking off at like 10-11 am. If it makes you feel any better, my face and neck got sunburnt because I forgot to bring sunblock...

I loved that yellow Chevelle too. When I was taking that pic, I was saying "I've nevah seen one dis cullah befoah...".

I have a video of that truck driving. You could tell it was a mess and the guy tried to do something funny with it, the body was very pitted and rotted, and was patched up with license plates. I saw it last week at the Danvers car show and my jaw dropped as the guy took off in it. It has a double bay stainless kitchen sink under the hood, and the letters on the front read "DROF".

There was a black SS at the show also, with 44K. It was nice, but the dude was asking 17,900 for it! There was also a TTA that looked nice, I forget what else. In the pictures it looks like the show wasn't too busy but it was loaded, esp. early on. I didn't take many pics because I was too busy looking at stuff!

That truck couldn't be registered, is it? Can imagine seeing that thing on the opposite side coming at you. Let's file that under Bad Ideas.
