Any other area clubs I missed and folks that are just into traditional rides.

The Barons are having a Taco Run!

Were thinking it would be great to get together once a month to see and hear about what everybody else is workin on and eat some grub. This month were meetin at Mr Taco.

Having said it's all gonna be low key, I know some of you cats are ADD so I'll jazz it up a little. Here it goes....

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday the 19th of September at the San Pedro Exposition center (Mr Taco 3905 San Pedro) from 7-10 in the morning. It's the car gathering of the century!

See Barnett's fire breathing 3 HP Trike O Doom in it's South Texas debut!!! Some say it was born from the loins of the deveeeuuulll!!!! Other's from the conduit aisle at Lowe's.

See Lesabre59's.........59 Lesabre!!!! (Sorry Steve looks like your commited now)

Special appearances by Titus and the president of the Von Dutch corporation!

Hotrodhudson will be bringin out one of his 3507 rides. My good friend from LA, Sandman, just moved to town, he'll be bringin out his flatty powered roadster. Willie Salas from The Gear Grinders is bringin out his gorgeous 32' roadster. I'll be there in my Neon with the big ass frickin spoiler, blastin my Mariah Carey tunes (or my 33' if the mood strikes me)!

Surely we can get Sideburns out there, maybe even Krupanut and Buzzard?

Everyone's invited, so get your butts up early and support the cause. Help do your part to rid south Texas of German cars with Japanese stickers on em.

DAN

by the way ....cool write up too!!!!

[buzzard]

7 in the morning?

[TexasHardcore]

Hey, If I go, can I ride shotgun with someone? My Sedan is about 12% finished, so it wont be making to run unless I throw all the parts in the back of a truck. I'll be sure to be there just to hang out. Maybe a cool mofo will let me ride shotgun, or just let me sit in one of the cars for a few seconds and make vroom vroom noises.


Looking forward to meeting ya'll.

[TexasHardcore]

Wait, Buzzard is right. 7am is a little early, I'd have to head out here by 4:30 am to get there on time, or stay in SA on Sat night....

[Johnny Ace]

If Kali Knievel is up and around we will make it.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
I miss Barnett's gentle touch.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Maybe Antichrysler can make an appearence?

Sounds like a fun breakfast.

[fatluckys]

7 am? Ouch. How far is it from Aces 'n' Eights? (Where I'm supposed to be spending my Sundays.)

[BARNETT]

Probably about 20-25 minutes from Aces & 8's. I think, in all honesty, I will be there more like 8:30...I'm a night person. Hell, 8:30 is gonna be feelin' reeeeaaal early to me, but I feel like this is a good local/semi-local thing to help try to get goin'. Cruise night here sucks...way to many weekend warriors and SUVs and stock-freakin-Corvettes. This is a chance to hang out (before the heat gets to be too bad) and get to know some like minded people in the area. And I haveta eat anyways, right?

[lesabre59]

CREASE, if the damn tranny shop ever gets done with the DynaSlow, DynaSaur..er i mean Dynaflow, I'm there. Should be done sometime this week! I'll put a blanky in the back for BARNETT so he can sleep longer!!

[SandMan]

Crease, I'm looking forward to the big Taco Tango in Texas. I will drag John down with one of his sleds. Lets see if he will get on the HAMB so he won't miss next months run!

[BARNETT]

Funny, LeSabre59...real funny! I don't need no stinkin' blanky in your ride...I have a van! I can get all stretched out and comfy. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[krupanut]

Hey Buzz heres what we do.
Head down to the shop Saturday night after your back braking shift at the "plant".
Pull an all nighter putting together your nast new engine.
Go eat Tacos with the Barrons. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Don't know if that'll work, but we'll try to figure something out.

[buzzard]

Sounds like a better plan than waking up at 5:30.

[BARNETT]

Hey, Crease...isn't Sunday the 21st? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[antichrysler]

I'm pretty sure Sunday is the 21st.

I'll be there but I don't think 7 a.m. is my speed.

I'll at least bring the vespa. If the RPU is running and stoping I'll drag it down it down there, but no promises. Some dude cut my grill shell all to hell. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Roothawg]

And Barnett said it would never happen....... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[BARNETT]

Still might not if Crease doesn't make sure of the day/date. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[OGNC]

TACOS... not just for breakfast anymore! Sounds like a good time, bring planty of GAS-X. Wish I was closer.

[MarkX]

No self respectin' meskin would turn down a chance to eat MORE Tacos!..........


Are thoses Shriners bringing out their sweet mini-rods and hats?!

[Johnny Ace]

MarkX...tell it like it is! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif I myself enjoy tacos 24/7.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

[Crease]

Cant even spell calender, thanks for spottin the error Dan.

Indeed it is the 21st.

Scallop
Let me know when to pick your butt up at the airport http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Kontinentals
Yeah it's definitely early and you guys are 75 mile s away, but it would be great if you could make it. Did I mention the part about the tacos?

TexasHC
Your the cat with the midget coupe right? You can ride with me in the Neon.

Johnny haven't met you and Kali in person and dont really want to wait til the drags. Dan said you kids are real cool.

Jason
These tacos are damn good too!

Lesabre59
DO NOT GET IN THE BACK OF THE VAN!
Bring the sweet old truck out if the hardtop aint on the road.

Sandman
Your ass better be there!

Antichrysler

to think of all of those cars that I have, you would think at least one of them would run. I have to make this quick cause I had to break into someones house just so I could use a computer to check the Hamb out, It was either buy a new computer or speed equipment so you could all imagine what won out. We want to make this a monthly gig reaching all throughout southern Texas so if anyone knows of a good burger joint or BBQ restaraunt out in the middle of knowwhere let us know (maybe the knowbody's could help us out with that) http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[I go pogo]

You guys certinly eat tocos early. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif Us Californa boys Don't
eat Tocos till the Sun is over the Munudo. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Have a good run! Oh ya Crease I sent the guy you told me about some money and with in a week I had my carburetors.
Thanks once more. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[TexasHardcore]

Crease....no midget coupe. I got a channeled '30 tudor sedan project. I am not cool enough to bring my car out, because it is in a thousand pieces, yet, still incomplete. IF I keep it, maybe I'll make it driveable and be able to roll with all you 'heads every once in a while.

Anyways, is this gonna be a meet, eat & cruise, or a meet & eat only? I'll decide the night before I'm sure, but I still say I'll be there.

[J. Cougar]

Wish I was closer. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I finally got my carb on the car, makes a big difference. Still gonna get my butt kicked at the drags, but who cares. Your surfer boy is freakin me out. Called him the other day and he was ordering barbecue.....complete with the Texas accent. "I gotta a hankerin fer sum ribs som bitch" (something like that). You and the little lady should seriously consider coming out to visit. Maybe the drags, the roundup or Pate? You'll have atleast 2 places to stay. You about ready to post some progress pics?

THC

I was thinking you had posted on the chopped and channeled A bone? We're just keeping it static this time. In the future we're hoping to cruise to some fun places. When we do start cruisin, we'll have plenty of room for you in one of the rides.

[HRH]

Has anyone mentioned that there IS a bar at Mr.Taco

[HRH]

for those that start drinking at 7:00 am. We promise that the next one will be more of a brunch or lunch type of event. For those of us who have night lives, and those coming from outside of town

[fatluckys]

So... can somebody tell me how to get to Mr. Taco?? And- are any of the S.A. area junkyards open on Sundays??

[Crease]

Sean

Head down 35 to 410. Take 410 west to San Pedro. You'll want to go South on San Pedro (inside the loop toward the mall). It's about 3.5 miles inside 410 at 3905 San Pedro.

If you want to come down 281, just take San Pedro where it splits into 281 and San Pedro.

Not sure if you ever went by Billy's old shop, but that's where it's at.

If your looking for Plymouth parts, Nick's had some stuff out there. I'll call out there tomorrow and see if there gonna be open. If you need later model stuff Pick N Pull should be open.

Crease

[BARNETT]

I think Nick's is usually open 'til at least noon on Sundays. Whatcha lookin' for F.L?

[fatluckys]

I've never been to any of the yards in the area, so mostly just lookin'. I do need to find the 70's mopars though, to get elec. ign. stuff for Mrs. faluckys new slant 6.

[Crease]

Fatluckys

Called out to Nicks, they are open from 11-2. Nicks is one of the more interesting yards, but not huge. They get 40, 50's and 60's stuff in pretty often.

If you want 70's and 80's stuff, I would head out to Pick N pull. They're open 8:30 to 5:00 on Sunday. Last time I was out there they had alot of slant six stuff.
