| April 27th, last sunday of the month........... 8 am til ??? 455 Main St Groton MASS RT 119 ....... Wilsons Service Center about 10 mins off 495 or 20 mins from Nashua NH same as last year, anybody that wants to take advantage of a lift to do whatever they will available first come first serve. I have 3 lifts, alignment machine,can have tires mounted & balanced, oil changes, undercoating, minor welding, detailing, whatever you want to attempt or get help doing can be done. As always, would love to see more B & D cars than not, but if you need to fix your beater bring it to. | |

| I'm in. The rustmaster needs to go under the scope (on a lift). 9C1 inspection sticker was up last November anyway. Needs front tires as you saw last time I was there. Not to mention the noise it's making. | |

| I'm in! And for once, I don't think I have a project that needs to go up in the air. So don't worry Steve, no U joints this year. | |

The spring compressor was scary tho lol, since I was putting in S10 springs I had to crank that thing till I thought it would pop. Actually past that point, I was sure it was going to explode. | |

| I just realized the Fitchburg Airport show/swap meet thing is that same day, and that's not a show I ever miss...less'n it gon' rain...
However, that's one of those shows where you get there at dawn...so I'm planning on going to that with my friend(s) and then coming to the mod day on the ride back from it...I think that works out pretty awesome actually!

Would like to use a lift to put the sway bar and proper hardware back on as well as re torq the control arms and cut out the ridiculous metal air pipe. I look forward to seeing everyone this weekend. Matt Trakker BETTER show up | |

Sorry for your loss Brian. I'm not sure if I'll make it. I may have a chance to actually get something done with my car so if I do go it will be late in the day. | |

| So I hope to be there by 730, so I'll get there for 8 none the less, lifts will be first come first serve, bring whatever you need. It is a shop with tools but its nice to bring anything you have that may help with any intended job. The closest parts store that is open on sundays is a drive away, so come prepared. As for food, most likely i will grab a few pizzas, but there are other options in town if desired. ATTENTION!! ....... there will be a 5k road race that day, like last year So depending on what time you get to the center of town you may get detoured. Its pretty simple detour, RT 119 runs through the center of town so the detour will be a basic jug handle that loops back right to RT 119. Any issues....call or txt me 603- 2-zero-4 Seven 4 seven 6 | |

| Thanks Bill and Matt. I told my mother, who's not even coming up from 'bama to say goodbye to HER own mother, that "I have plans Sunday and I'm definitely not changing them." Callous? No. I'm not the biggest fan of that side of the family. But, the service is 2-5. Out of respect for my grandmother, I'll leave early to send her off on a good note. You all are family too | |

I'm hoping the weather holds that morning. I know Sat. is supposed to be crappy overall. If it's raining I can't take the Impala out! | |

Bolt a seat in and drive it. Like we've never seen a Caprice with no interior. | |

| Sounds tempting, but its more than that. I'm patching up some cancer in the rear floor pans around the drain plugs. And I am running battery cables through the car so I can relocate it to the trunk. And my inspection and registration ran out. Im hopeful for mid-may to get her on the road again. | |

And by seat you mean milk crate, right? I can't make it, but I met a guy named Aaron with an SS clone at a gas station a few weeks ago and told him about it. Hope he shows up to represent RI . | |
