Do we have a date or any of the pertinent information?
Just wondering.....I checked the Kontinentals site but didn't see anything.

I would guess that it will eb on the last week of May or first April like it has been. I hope it is at the gardens again. I thought that place was pretty good.

I didn't make it last year cause I was thrashing on the Fly. But this year...I was gonna make it a "have to attend" event.

Last weekend in March is when we plan to have it every year. That's all I got at this point. The website will probably go up in January sometime and we'll post here when it does.

It was dry but colder than a well diggers ass!

Why not delay it for a week or 2?
I plan on being there regardless....

It was really windy. Would not have been cold if wind wasnt blowing. Got windburned but was woth it. We expect to see the Fly there. Along with its owner & its family.

BELLM is right it was windy. I would not miss the Round Up regardless of the weather though. Its just way to much fun!

Hopefully the weather will cooperate this year. It worked out for the drags OK. Rained all around the track but never on it... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

And then after OKC come down through DFW and pick a lot more. It'd be a beautiful sight.

i may have to camp out on I-35 to see that one http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
i emailed beatnik last week and he sent me an email saying the dates were march 26-28th?
buzzard...were you driving the blue flattie powered 30-31 coupe at the drags?

You're on the way..., So button up the roadster and drive it down with us...! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

30, I was driving my 96 Chevy truck at the drags. I have a chopped 31 coupe, flat black, with a 327. Didn't get it running right after new cam, heads, roller rockers, trans, and shifter change before the races. It'll be right, soon.
Roothawg
11-18-2003, 04:06 PM
Was your 96 flat black with red wheels? I think I saw it.

11-18-2003, 04:27 PM
hehe - wingnutz - i'm actually out of the way but i'd drive an hour and a half north just to meet ya'll in waco http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif... bring your little bro!!!! i won't be driving the roadster this year... i really am hoping to finish her before the 2005 roundup....maybe 2004 drags http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
buzzard - thats why i was asking about the blue 30 coupe - he was hanging around the kontinentals...wondered what he had done to his frame.... and if i could get some info...
( although i'm sure i'd like your 96 chevy also http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif ) hehe
hey ROOT that car moved to a different state... and not under its own power. I bought a new shooter, it rules. But I was seriously thinking about driving the Ford truck I drove to the Hamb drags and trailer one of my piles to the round up. Like the HEX...
either way im going...
and it WONT BE IN THE FREON http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
This year those heading south from DFW (and beyond) met at The Health Camp in Waco for lunch on the way down.
'Twas a sight to behold...
Tuck, if you want to trailer the Hex to Fort Worth, then drive it down with the rest of us from there, I've got a safe place you can store your truck and trailer that's right off of I-35. Just a thought...
BASS that would f'n RULE. We can hammer out the details when the time comes. I'll get my pile ready... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I need to fix my O/D
The offer's on the table. There should be a large group of us driving down there together. Hell, there will probably be at least 10 shoeboxes if we hook up with HankCash and the guys in Dallas.
Do I need to mention that you only have a little over 4 months? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
hankcash
11-18-2003, 06:29 PM
The bro's and ho's in the Coollows are in fo sho!
We should have everyone up and running by March.
We still have plenty of time to plan this thing, but we should for sure get a caravan that stretches from Dallas to Austin this year. Everyone planning on going down Friday @ noon-ish? That would be best. Just think, we still have winter yet to come and go before the show, but I am still anxious!

11-18-2003, 06:48 PM
Maybe I'll drive up to Plano, spend the night at Mom's house, and cruise down with ya'll!!!
It'd sure be the Friday before last year. I spent hours trying to bleed beatniks defective master cylinder. Defective ones don't bleed near as well, I come to find out.
hankcash
11-18-2003, 06:57 PM
Come on up Buzzard.
Plano is across the street from me.
Did you go to school in Plano?
Did you beat up a skate-punk named Jeff?
If so, maybe we have unfinished business...
Maybe the Coollows will park IN the show this year.
We couldn't get 2 of the club cars registered cause' they were 65's.
We have a club rule at shows "everyone or no-one gets in".
I think that with all of the trading of cars, we only have one non-50's car left in the club....
we'll see.....

Well I am gonna try like mad to get mine in good enough shape to make the trip from Dallas, so.. that'll be another shoebox to add to the list.
Roothawg
11-18-2003, 07:35 PM
Ya'll could pull the hex with your shoeboxes...... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
pull the HEX yo you'r goin down monkey boy one more crack otta u and ill.... hey. come to think of it I bet the HEX would beat out the fly in the 1/8 mile http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif 4:11 gears and all...
say bass now no muggin or talking smack about my 14" wheels http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif ..... I cant wait to get the new chassis done and run 16"ers!
sounds like it'll be a blast.

11-18-2003, 08:42 PM
I'm going to try and make it down in my 54 chevy. I'm trying like hell to get the 5" chop done but all this rain isn't helping me much. Wish I had a shop to work in instead of my sandy driveway. I'll be coming from arkansas if anyone else is going the same way. I'm trying to find some other people to go to.

Reggie-
You guys come on up and follow us down Friday.... it would be great. Everyone bring a bag of marshmallwos so we can play some "highway tag"!
Are you using drop spindles up front or did you cut coils?
thanks

Reggie
11-19-2003, 12:07 PM
HC -
I'm using Fatman dropped uprights and I cut 1/2 coil. Steering box is an early 1970's volvo bolt-in. The rear are Posies parallel springs with a 1" block.

Reggie, as far as I knew you only had those 2 coupes, what else are you hiding down there?

Sounds like the LSRU will be the biggest "Shoebox" show with the longest "Shoebox" parade from Minnisota to Austin! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Unless there are some gutsy northern roadster warriors with WWW snow tires! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
I wonder How many Rods from the North are going to make it to Austin...? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Hey Magnet
If you provide enough coffee I think that we could finish off all your projects with Pleeeenty of time to spare...!
Face it ..., what else is there to do during a long Chicago winter ...? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Hey Deyomatic, they say the first step to recovery is to first admit. Well, I admit, i've got it bad. But I never plan to recover! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
