I'll be swinging thru on the way to Maine.

Here is a link to the shop's website......

..... the address is 510 MAIN ST GROTON MA....... I'll be there by 8am

Got home about an hour ago. Car rode great. No more weird noises/vibrations/random bangs from the back anymore. And holy shitsnacks, those Gabriel Ultra's are awesome! Car just glides down the road now. It's like night and day. Thanks to Steve, Matt, and Al for helping me with the U-Joint. Oh, and Brian for his magical toolbox of parts And Chris for hosting Mod Day today

Yeah, thanks Chris! That shop was awesome! Thanks a ton for hosting it. I had a great time, even though I got my ass kicked by the illwood all day!

Who'da thunk it'd be me and Justin turning the wrenches today?



I know there were some pics being taken, but I snapped a few...

Here's the spring comparison between the stock Caddy springs and the Magical Moogs.




And the stock caddy rears and the Eibachs.


I saw the height difference and was like, "EHRMEGERD! I made a HUGE mistake!"

But I didn't. I so didn't.




Car rides awesome now! No more float! Love those Gabriel Ultras! And before, the thing leaned like a mo-fo in the smallest of corners, now it easily overdrives the tires. LOL!

Thanks again for hosting, Chris! And thanks to Al who begrudgingly offered some assistance when I needed it.

It was good seeing everyone. I wish I'd had more time to talk, but I was stuck being busy all day! LOL!

LOL it looks great like that.

Too bad I couldn't make it in but it looks like it was a blast! Chris thanks for the invite and taking the initiative to get some events on the calendar!

Had a good time today. I wish I would've left the wife at home cause I would've stayed all day. Kinda sad leaving, knowing that was probably my last Badass meet. You're really some good guys that ill miss hanging out with for sure..... I snapped some pics ill post them tomorrow.

Had a lot of fun today, great to see and talk to everyone!

.....on a side note seen that stance before

Agreed....Great time & a good start to spring.

Real nice shop & I was kinda jealous I couldnt get dirty...over some project.

Appreciate the day Chris....thanks alot.

Yeah Tim, a bit bittersweet. But you'll be better off where you're heading and there are some great guys down there, too. Best of luck and stay in touch!

That's too funny, Al. But this rides and handles MUCH better than the slut did!

And these springs are so stiff, we didn't even have to worry about cutting the bumpstops. It doesn't even bottom out on the whooptydoos on the highway at 80mph.

Imagine those 100 lbs stiffer in a lighter car!

Thanks again, Chris! I had a great time myself. It was good seeing a lot of the guys and I met Bill (8bud) for the first tine today.

I hope to do it again soon.

I'll post pics tomorrow of Justin actually working.

Someone must have pics of me working. If not, no one will believe it!

Oh yeah, and this sweet 70 DeVille showed up at one point, too! The color of money, go figure.





That thing was absolutely gorgeous! Nice guy, too.

I had a great time too. I wish I could have made it there earlier but it wasn't a total bust. Thanks for having everyone Chris.

Tim, hopefully we can scrape a few people together at least and take a ride down your way before you head to FL. I think that would be a good time, maybe head out to grab a bite or whatever, etc. etc.

Here's some pics I took, that was about all I did all day except for helping Mr. Crovo for a blip of a nanosecond, lol.




Immaculate 1970 Coupe deVille ragtop that showed up, this thing was outrageous.

MOAR PIX!


Mr. Crovo seen with an embarrassed individual who did not want to give his name
















You can't see it in the picture but Bill was tuning his upright bass with a plastic skull on the end of it here.

Hey, I used 6 different wrenchs today.

With Chris' help I did an alignment on the 9C1.

Good to see and meet everyone yesterday. I guess Stickney must have snuck out when he heard I was on my way.

Is that Jim's Impala SS?

Wish I could have made it. Then I could have learned what I'm supposed to do with this Moog box that's cluttering up my porch.

Good lookig grill and spoiler on Matts car. Where did he find those i wonder?

Looks like a good time.

Ya he LOVES that car.

Wouldnt stand out so much without you taking care of him.

Hey whose BBB is that?
Missed that & the 2 wagons.

Here's some of the pics I snapped. The rest look like everything already posted...

Where the hell do I get a bad ass t shirt.

Crovo. He usually does an order for shirts when we plan a round up. I'm sure he's got a few. They might even have someone else's name on them!

I can cut you a deal on a "Ted Sucks" hoodie or tee shirt or a "Courtney" tee shirt...
