W.Mass Meetup 8/10/14, Attendance Thread

Going to use this as the attendance/parts swap/question thread. The other one got a bit too long. Hosting another W.Mass get together. Location will be the Chicopee State Park in Chicopee, MA. Same routine as last year, meet around 9-10am. BS, swap parts, etc. I'll supply coffee and Munchkins. Then a cruise down the backroads out to a local drive in for ice cream and/or lunch.

The park is VERY easy to get to. For those coming from I-90, it's exit 6 and then about a mile down the road. Those coming from I-91, Take 91 to 291 and drive it all the way to the end. Park will be about a mile down the road. There IS a $5 charge for parking.

My wagon should be functional, but may be missing trim or looking ragged, as usual.  I'd love to come.  

I might be interested in some bulky items like a tailgate or bumper cover if anyone who is coming has spares.  But, I doubt those parts are just hanging around in someone's garage.

Dave there is a caprice wagon in my local yard. If you want parts pulled let me know.

I am gonna try to make this meet as well. My car will be a work in progress for viewing. Really trying to at least finish the suspension, engine, exhaust, brakes and some form of tail light.........
Still need a PS pulley

Indy I got you covered on the pulley.

I should be able to make this as well

Ha, didn't even realize you added another one.

I will try to make this one just to see some faces if anything else, I haven't really done much in terms of basic social activity since Billy's house.

Count me in   

I'll be on a plane to Houston for a Shearwave class for my new Job, unless that changes.

If it has a grey interior, and the tailgate plastic is in good shape, I need it. Unless... That's what bull needs?

It's a blue interior.

Cool. I would just double check the park rules, I'm pretty sure they allow leashed dogs. I've only taken my dog there when the park is "closed"

I looked on the site you linked, didn't see any mention of restrictions for dogs. I'll look again.

I emailed the park people and they said dogs are allowed during the day, on a leash.

Hey Justin. Glad you're doing this again. I'll be coming for sure, and bringing the '75 LeSabre convertible again. Ya know... it would be nice if someone else who owns a B-body of the same generation as mine would show up.... you know who you are...

I might be headed back to RI from Vermont that day; if it's not too late I might try to stop in. It'll be with the blue oval, though   

Less than a week away now. Weather is looking good. Sunny and 85. Hope to see everyone sunday. I'll be there for about 9:30.

Working on getting the day. It's looking good, my supervisor always comes thru for me.

If anyone else is still thinking about going, could you just post up here? Just want to get a head count for drinks and munchies. Thanks!   

Looking forward to seeing everyone and showing off the Pontiac   

I got my new wheels and tires on the LeSabre today! Just in time too. It got delayed because I accidentally sanded and painted the wrong width rim! Had to dig out a 6" and paint it. New hubcaps from a late '60s Skylark. Looking forward to seeing everyone and their rides!

Whats up with the truck tires lynol

I'm cheap. I wanted white letter tires, but I didn't want to pay performance tire prices, so I got these. They retail for $100 a piece. They're Highway tread all-season "light truck" tires. I figure, hey, this car is as big and heavy as most trucks, so why not? I like the look of these tires too. They've got a hard edge to them like old radials used to.

I'm still planning on being there...I will likely be toting the yellow Impala.

Managed to get the day off. Jessie and I will be there.

Awesome guys, see you all sunday.   

Just got here and set up shop. We'll be in the main parking lot, just follow the main road thru the park. Those of you who came last year, same spot.

Had a great time today! Here's the pics I took. Stupid camera LCD died halfway through, so I took some of these shots blind.



^Dan's Pontiac has a hydroboost brake system!


^The psychedelic Pontiac whatchamacallit on the hood ornament.



Matt shows up and regales us all with stories of the mustard car's movie stardom.

Looks like a good time!

I'm sure some heads were turned.

Hmm... Not a sedan in sight

Haha, nice pics! I have some I took that came out pretty decent, I'll try to get those up tomorrow.
