LOL! that is funny, now I have to update my "to do" list.

 

I can't wait - just a little over 2 weeks to go. Looking forward to another great event

Travis had a brilliant idea of putting a link on for a slide show so you can see how cool it was last year. Hear is a link to mine from last year: http://www.pbase.com/dlgphoto/sk500_2012&view=slideshow

If you just want to look at pictures - please go either to my gallery http://www.pbase.com/dlgphoto/sk500_2012&page=all or my HAMB photo thread http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=698749



If you want me to take a shot of your car, please PM me before the show so I have your cell, and you have mine and we can get 'er done. I will be there the whole time and in the area starting Thursday afternoon/evening.

 

Looking forward to seeing ya Dan, That is one kool picture, thanks for adding it too the post. See ya next weekend.

 

I can get Mickey to do an interview, I'm gonna need a straight jacket and some truth serum minimum.

 

LOl! It would take a large dose of truth serum....

 

waiting on my call, so what if I'm not bringing a car this year? can i still get my late model in ??

 

Late model? Then that would be your El Camino. Plan on seeing ya Sunday if our going
to be around. Going through huge Kustom withdrawals...

Damn, just kan't wait to see all you guys and gals, gonna be a great reunion!

 

Be seein' ya on Friday, Mick. Looks like there's 5 cars from the Skid Row area headin' your way. Oh yeah, you better check that "to do" list again!

 

My goal is to hit town Thursday evening, see you hooligans in just over a week!

 

Look for my hospitality tent about a block north of the Hotel Museum and stop and say hello. My Poverty Flats banner (made by my pal Chaddilac) will be easy to spot.
We will have free bottles of water and a ready hand to shake and hopefully share some good stories with each other !!
I will only be there on Saturday.

 

We plan on rolling in Saturday again this year, what a great event! Good to see you at the SKMC2013 in Guthrie last week Mick, looking forward to seeing you there!

 

Had a good time in Guthrie, Did ya see the truck that about hit me head on when I was
waiting to pull into the show? God is good, It was close. Still can't believe he didn't hit
anyone.

Looking forward to seeing every one again. its been too long. We are getting stuff crossed
off the "to do" list so it looks like we will be ready for the party. That is a good suggestion
Harry, I will double check my list.

Happy Trails, Mick

 

Since we will be acknowledging Ron Myers at the show, I thought we should us some of his
artwork on this years trophies. Ron did this panel years ago and I combined it with and old
pin up magazine cover girl.

Ron is so gifted he can make whicker kool.



Happy Trails, Mick

 

Too cool, looking forward to next week!

 

Tahlequah assholes checking in here. Not one vehicle were bringing has moved under it's own power yet. Got huge to do list on my '30 a coupe. I promise no vw bus this year, I'm bringin a radiator lol. Can't wait!

 

About a week away. Can't believe we're that close. Rain or shine I'll be there. Looking forward to scoping out all the new/old stuff I haven't seen in a year. Rollin in on Saturday morning. By the time we get there we'll be parked in the north 40.
Whens the ceremony for "Hollywood Myers?"

 

Looking forward to seeing ya guys roll in, you add a lot of kool to the show.

Ron Myers ceremony will start at 2:00pm

Happy Trails, Mick

 

Is this one of those shows everything needs to be clean and shiny or are bugs OK? I have a lot of bugs....and pollen....and crumbs from breakfast.....

 

LOL!! Sounds like us, a lot of our cars were down not too long ago. Some are back on
the street and some are not going to make it. But we will still be there.. Have a safe trip

Looking forward to seeing ya guys roll in, you add a lot of kool to the show.

Ron Myers ceremony will start at 2:00pm

Happy Trails, Mick

 

LOL!! Only dead bugs are ok....

 

I am going out to the shop to clean the '62 Galaxie for the trip to Dewey, I put a quickie paint job on it last year and some rags on the seats to make it a little more comfortable. I was hoping to get striping done but have not got that far, yet...any stipers working at the show?....

 

Trying to decide which '40 to bring. This will be my first Stray Kat. Looking forward to it.

 

This is an easy decision. Bring the coupe. Leave the keys in it. Have the title, signed over to me, in the glove box. Thanks and see you there!

Arkie

 

I'm still in the middle of a engine swap my uncle that's rebuilding my trans just had to have a triple bypass so the trans isn't Gona be done .. Maybe I'll be ready for the starliner show

 

Yup there will be a few as always. If you need to find them just look for the band area, they are usually right near there. The DJ can point ya in the right direction if need be.

Looks Great so far!

 

What's crazy is that you have seen the coupe, in person, and still say that.

My plans have changed, slightly. I got a call from Dad, asking if his seat was still available for the run over to Dewey. Looks like we will leave Springfield, sometime around lunch on Friday, and will only be there until Saturday evening, so he can spend the night and head back to the StL area on Sunday.
