Finally Chris is spearheading the clubs acceptance that my Chevy still isn't in one piece!

My daughter is back into her AAU BBall tourney schedule so I'm unsure of my schedule yet.

I DO appreciate this offer though...no polls that end up with "I dont know" answers anyway.

Just the facts...good job Chris.. Hope I can make it

I was just talking to Matt about trying to get something going the other day... I hope to be there with a certain green-gray motor vehicle in tow...lol

Ah BALLS! working that weekend. If for some reason it gets moved up to the 21st IM IN! I need a set of white walls opened up wide

i may have to take the ride up for the day..

So let's bring this back up to the top. Who's going? What've ya got planned?

Need us to bring anything, Chris? Tools? Food? Pahts?

Speaking of parts, is there a parts store near there that's open on Sundays? Ya know, just in case?

I vote to rename it Suburban day.

Extra tools are always a plus, so we dont look like a bunch of city workers watching one wrench turn.


There are no part stores open locally on sunday..... closest are in either Fitchburg Or Nashua.


As for food, someone made off with our $10 grill at the shop for scrap metal, so if someone wants bring one cool, if not we can order pizza .

I'm going. Don't have anything planned to do.

I'm in. I have some front shocks that need cutting out to remove, and some tiger hair application that needs to be done.

The Suburban needs new front shocks and I don't think I can get it high enough in my garage to get them out. And it could use another coat of Fluid Film. This is a most excellent vehicle for making parts runs way up north or big lot ammo runs.

Wake me when you get there, I'll be asleep in the back of the truck. I plan on camping out there starting Friday night.

If I called it Burban day, all the drunks in town would show up and be very disappointed.

I'll bring them.

I can also bring some equipment consoles. Got one just for a Tahoe too in case we have any new Tahoe owners.

Thanks

Matt's going, he's offered me a ride which works out good.
Daughter has 2 BBall games Sun
(A makeup snow day of school Sat & 2 late games after that too....wow)
We'll have to scoot early for the games but its better then missing it.
As long as I leave before Crovos car goes in the bay I'll be happy...

If anyone happens to have an lt1 alternator as a spare, I'd be interested in it if you could bring it. Mine are in storage and I need one for the marshmallow.

What's the name/physical address of this place??

not sure how I missed that one...

Is there a general time of the day that most people are going?

I'll be there 9:30/10:00

'burban needs an alignment too, I hope it fits on the rack.

You'll have to get in line for the rack

Unless you're fast at alignments. I am not. I'll be needing help

My car needs stuff done too but I'm definitely going to be in stand around and point at things/not fix stuff/talk loudly mode as per usual...

I don't needs any lifts or tools or anything...haha

Probably about 9:30-10 depending on when I roll out of bed. Need to swap out my U-joint tomorrow. Thing is clunking like crazy, starting to vibrate @ 55+ too so not too keen on driving it up there to swap it out.

no problem

If you have tools bring them, I have air lines but not enough tools to keep everybody moving.

Alignment rack can do pretty much any thing that gets on it, I am not 100% on doing alignments, but I can set you up and help the best I can.

I plan to keep one lift for just quick fixes, to get more people in that want to take advantage of one. The other lift will be first come first serve for projects and the pain in the

Painting can be done outside, there is an open floor bay as well.

We keep a clean shop for how busy we are, so let's keep it that way. I have some supplies if needed, all I ask is you pay the cost on them if you do use them. I would love to see some more big bodies than the other junk I see alllllll day, But bring what ever you got to get done

.... I'll post a road pic tomorrow so you know where it's at. Im located directly on RT119 , but the garage faces the side street and the plantation owner won't let us have a bigger sign.

I'll be camping out in line behind Jim Tomorrow night. See ya bright and early! I need do the springs in the Caddy, not sure if a Lift or the floor space would be better. Then I'll try lining it up. Been a long time since I've done an alignment!

I changed the shocks while I was waiting. They don't have to go through the a-arms like I thought so I only had to go high enough to unload the suspension. Nobody said anything about about a mean shop dog!

Now that I think of it all I need to align the Suburban is the use of a lift and some nail polish.

Maybe I'll have extra time to weld in the new body mount bracket.

If anyone needs anything from the parts I'm selling, lmk and I can lug it up

^Samesies, haha.

I may be along earlier than I thought, I might not bother going to that swap meet thing.

Might stop by after work but I'm not sure how late I'll be working

I don't want to monopolize the lift for anyone else and make a mess of Chris's shop, so I'm going to try and work as quickly as possible. I might just do my U-joint and shocks and leave it at that. I might just patch my wheel well at home. I welded my exhaust today so I don't need to do that either.

UPDATE



Depending what time you get to Groton, via RT119 you may get a detour due to a road race downtown.


If you have any issues, call the shop at ...... 978-448-0333

Better way to come in?

What time is said road race?
