I plan to be there in my '51 Merc.

 

Crap! I am taking my Baby Lincoln not the Comet.

 

Very kool Kan't wait to see the new Merc. Dustin is working hard to try to make
the Merc Gathering. His 49 is looking bad ass....

We are getting a good response with the Merc gathering. I talked to Jerry Titus and
he is going to have a spot that we all can park together and we will have plenty of
shade to park 50 or more Mercs. Wouldn't that be kool........

Connie kit on a Comet? Kool!!

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

Just got the good news.. Got the time off from work!!!! Save me a parking spot......

 

Does anyone have an inside track on Motels? Where are most staying?
Thanks

 

Yeah this would be cool to know. Because I am most likely going to be sleeping in my car on the way out and it would be nice to have a real bed to sleep in before I have to turn around and head back home .

 

The host motel is full. Just book mine at the Econolodge 65 dollars a night. Next store to the host motel phone 785-825-8211. Here some more motels.
Holiday inn 785 827 9000
motel 6 785 827 8397
hampton inn 785 823 9800
super8 785 823 8808 785 823 9215

Dont know any thing about the motels. Just passing a long the numbers. Hope it helps..

 

I have a few guys on the list but I'd like to get an accurate count so I can
make sure we have enough free stuff to pass out. Kool? Also we will have
some give aways just for the HAMBer Merc club and they sound like that they
will be very kool. So who is planning on being there... With or without a Merc?

You know we will be there with our mercury on our mind, but driving which ever hotrod feels good that day.

 

I thought that you were going to get your Merc on the road
last Nov? We need to have a party and help ya get the Merc
ready, you have too many grand kids for the roadster....LOL!!

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

Hold on a minnit Mick...IF you're saying there will be 800 other kustoms/rods there, then you're assuming you'll get 200 Mercs to show up to round out the 1000 car count expected...

I think there'll be over 1000 other cars...and 200 Mercs is a lot to get...is there that many in the Midwest...???

I'll be driving my Caddy looking "Merc" ...

R-

 

Hey Roger,

I said 800 Kustoms and Hot Rods, that would equal 1,600 Kustoms/Hot Rods. Sorry
for the confusion. Ha, ha, ha,.. I don't know if there is 200 Mercs in the Mid west
but there is a bunch of them. I'm hoping that we would get atleast 50 Mercs at the
show. That would be real kool start.....I kan't wait to see your Caddy.

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

I was just thinking about this show. I have to get started on my Merc soon.

 

You got plenty of time........

 

I'm really looking forward to this year. The 30th anv. is special by itself but there is so much interest growing that we should see cars that haven't been there before.

 

1600 eh...??? And a few more Mercs and what a great kustom gathering the 30th would be...I hope that Salina park is big enuff for all of us...Jerry Titus would be overwhelmed (and delirious)...!!!

And wfo guy, I hope you are correct as well...Seems there is a great resurgence in (individuality) kustoms, guess everyone is tired of red '32's and flat blak Model A's...

R-

 

Hey WFO, I agree with ya. Kustoms are gaining popularity because you can own
a kustomand not kill the budget. I started drving one everyday since 1980 and
I've had a blast. This fall I'll be teching my daughter how to drive a kustom, looking
forward to keeping the Kustom thing alive in the family.

Look out Salina this is going to be kool...

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

I'm planning on going but not with the Merc...can't wait!

 

Glad your making the trip, be sure to bring pictures. I'll put your name on the list.

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

hey mick count me in it will be a good reason to get my merc back together...dave-backstreet kustoms

 

Hey Dave, Your Merc will be a great addition, it is one of tha baddest in the
country. We are up to 18 Members so far and that is a good start.

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

So what hotels will people be staying in? I am trying to figure out where to stay and being this is going to be the first time I have ever been to this event I would like to stay close to the show if possible.

 

I don't know, the best thing would call KKOA or the local Chamber of commerce and get
some Hotel advice. I'm staying at the "Host" Best Western. Sorry I couldn't help ya....

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

Hey, i feel left out, how about a shoebox gathering too

 

I don't know what a shoe box is? Kia? I'm sorry, don't hurt me. Ouch!! too
late, how did you do that.... Kool Idea!

 

Really no hotels real close to the show. I heard that the host is full. I'll be in Salina tomorrow I'll see about getting you a list.

 

I am getting my 51 Merc ready and will be there. It will be the first show for my Mercruy and me to attend. I chopped it different that anyone else. It was cut down the middle and I now have a one piece curved windshield! Where do I go to meet up with everyone with the Mercs??

"Wasn't anybody there, except me and "Lil Skeet"

 

Sounds cool. I would love to see a picture.

 

Wow... Sounds cool ..How about sharing some pictures?????
