texascat2

That's funny Mark!
Hope it's not his wedding!!

58mark

iTrader: (3)

If it was his wedding, he would change the date! He knows what's important!

texascat2

Keeping the priorities straight!

thanks for reminding me... I have a couple calls to make tomorrow... trying to get a couple people there with a truck full of good thrid gen parts to sell. I'd love for people to be able to put in an order for parts they need, and be able to pick them up at the roundup.

This looks like it might be pretty cool. Is there a way for us to sell parts too (somewhere to list them?) or is it just gonna be Sponsors that are selling things?

58mark

iTrader: (3)

tomorrow i'll start a swap meet thread where everybody can list what they have or need

I've set up a partnership with Kirk at Johnnydees.com

http://johnnydees.com/camaroparts.htm

He and his dad have a great website with TONS of third gen parts, some of them NOS. the only problem is, he's not near anybody, so getting the parts is a problem.

I've arranged with him that he's going to come to the roundup and deliver any parts you need right to georgetown. He's also going to bring some of his nicer inventory of hard to find items that you may just be tempted to buy when you see what he's got.

I'm really excited about this, some of these parts are hard to find, but he's going to bring them right to us.


Please check out his website and contact Kirk at the email adress on the contact page, or just call him directly

Don't let the pop-up on his website bother you... they are getting out of the business of selling dodge parts, and are going all 3rd gen, all the time. Sounds like a business that could be a great resource for years to come in Texas. I've looked over his website, and I think his prices are reasonable for what he's offering. I would say that he's at or below what most people who parts out cars charge, plus you have the benefit of not having to drive all the way to his place to pick them up.

texascat2

TOTALLY FANTASTIC! Great job Mark! You're the MAN!

All right, just got off the phone with Johnnydees, very nice people! Getting a "new" hood pop-up spring.
Everyone needs to check them out like Mark said! They have parts that other places don't! I told him to be prepared for some business!
Will post progress in rate a seller.

Excellent! glad to hear there's already some buzz. The main thing that's cool about this is that he's bringing these parts to us. His prices may not be the lowest i've ever seen, but they are comperible to the norm, but you can't beat the convenience of having him RIGHT THERE. I hope he'll bring a couple tables full of merchandise, and make a real swap meet of it.

I was glad he jumped at the offer to come out to the meet, but honestly I would have been shocked if he didn't want to come. he's selling third gen parts, and he's going to have 40-60 third gen owners right in one place. Who could ask for a better situation than that for a seller?

Give him a call guys!

58mark

iTrader: (3)

for anybody else who wants to sell or request parts, please check out our official swap meet thread

I'm not gonna take a sell away from Johnnydees, but all ya had to do was ask on TGO...I've got like 3 of those springs as "extras". I'm sure others do too.

Also one reason I asked 58mark about a swap/sell board to the show. So that we can all help each other out in finding/buying/selling parts.

texascat2

I appreciate ya but this is a new spring, a little taller and stiffer.
PS don't be surprised when he answers the phone with just "hello"?

hey Mark, think you could throw the swap meet thread link into post #1 of this thread? not everyone will find it in the middle of the thread

58mark

iTrader: (3)

I was going to bump this thread with a reminder of the swap meet thread, from time to time, but I like your idea too!

Hello,
What about making a link on www.thirdgenroundup.com? So if people are coming from that site first.

I actually go there first, seems easier......

58mark

iTrader: (3)

yeah, that's in the plans too.. I meant to make page for it... thanks for the reminder.

1fas92

iTrader: (1)

Yes sir...........

58mark

iTrader: (3)

OK, i've got some work to do... you remember that major announcement I talked about a few weeks ago? We just got the final approval for it.. I'm going to make some changes to the official site, and make the announcement before I go to bed tonight!

Dude, you ROCK!

I ran across the Trans Am that was best of show (in my opinion) at last years meet. He was totally unaware about the 2nd annual. Told him all about it and gave him a flyer. He is not a member of ATGO but lives in Austin, so please put him down for Custom Turbo Trans Am ( one car, two people), his name is Dom (I think), and put him under ATGO.

Thanks
and do you all remember this car?


Oh, and I forgot to say, he will be driving it this year.

Mark, please put me down as 1, from Austin (not sure why I'm missing from the list).
And I'll be bringing brand new STS units with me - feel free to make a big deal out of it!
