I put noon as the time, but you can show up at anytime. I will try to be there when they open or just after they open so I can block off parking and setup some things before the crowd starts rolling in.

 

you can have the dizzy. i dont need it. i know its good. i used to ride dirtbikes behind your neck of the woods with my kids off osteen/plathe rd. thanx for the compliment on the paint. did you get your new ride yet? castriota? my brother-in-law works there. send a PM if you need anything at all. thank you for getting this going.

 

I believe the park opens at 730ish, there is a 5.00 fee to enter, not to mention the toll plaza fee coming off I-275

 

Not aure if this will work

It worked on mine, after I logged in and tried it for the second time hahahahha!

Good job!

 

Sorry guys, but a No-go for me. Have an upcoming 6 week job at the Crystal River Nuclear power plant, just hoping I dont wind up glowing when i get done.

Its 6 weeks of 12 hour days, 7 days a week, but its great money. Should have the car back on the road after then though if another meet crops up.

Just sucks cause the car runs great, and I wanna drive the hell out of it, just dont have the money for reg and insurance

Using some of the money to buy a complete 3.4l and complete 3400 engine for my 3.4/3400 Hybrid. Will give everyone something to look at when its done, plus the Classified project I'm working on ontop of the Hybrid; Its gonna be ridiculous and all anyone is gonna say is, "You did WHAT?"

Wish me luck guys

 

I've posted the Gathering info on several other forums, LS1tech, CamaroZ28, NastyZ28 just to name a few

 

Awesome Ron. I've posted on Moderncamaro, LS1tech, and Tampa Camaro.

Hey Joe, will you all from the Orlando area be convoying over here together? Do you still have my phone number? I still have yours so contact me if you need anything.

im in pasco county, its a little north of tampa/st. pete. ive posted on superchevy, chevyhiperformance and highperformance pontiac for the pontiac guys. anybody close got a rear 16 inch rear iroc wheel? mines bent. shes got a little vibration from 20-40mph. firestone said the rim is beat. me thinks wife hit a curb.

 

I know where three of those Iroc wheels are. Want me to check on the price for you? I could bring them to the show. Are they marked front/rear?

I thought it would be cool if we could set-up a little swap meet there. Not sure if the park would have a problem with that or not though.

 

I have an extra set of Eibach Sportline springs & new Tokico struts for lowered cars if anyone is interested that I thought about bringing to the show

 

I was wondering about that. I may put a "For Sale" sign on my GTA myself...

 

thank you. i knew somebody would come through. yes, its marked rear. i would like to get a rim before the meet-up, if i can. is shipping one before the gathering a possibility? IDK if they would care about a little swap meet or not? probably not, if its kept small and neat.

 

Depending on the price, I know someone who would be interested in buying it from you. She will be in attendance as well.

 

Oh yeah? How much are you looking to get for it?

 

That didn't take long for you to get on here.

 

Wow, I was just kinda thinking out loud when I said that. I've been thinking a lot and maybe it's time for me to jump on another project so if I can get $2,000 for it I'll be able to do it. My 81 Camaro needs a lot of work and I need a lot of money so maybe this way I can invest on it that way. Obviously the price is negociable.

 

are these just front springs or both F&R, what is the drop on them, and price?

 

Everything is brand new. Front & rear springs $180 - see details on this link:

Tokico front struts $225 for the pair - details on link:
http://www.youngsfbody.com/inc/sdetail/824/17294

Package deal for all: $380 cash. No checks accepted

 

Was hoping i'd have parts of the car repainted and window tint done. Not going to happen before then. Oh well, just know it will get done one day.

 

Sorry guys I won't be there after all. I didn't realize at first this is the same weekend as Rods n Rockets. Oops.

 

Is this the event at the Florida state fairgrounds in Tampa? Will you have your cars in there as well?

 

No, it's in Cocoa Beach / Canaveral at KSC. I have to work the registration tent for a few hours so I gotta go.

 

3 weeks left.

 

I'm running out of time. Prob won't have time to get everything pretty,polished and painted. Just have to settle for together and running

 

Trust me, you're not the only one.

 

I'll just be running, together is not even gonna happen :P

 

A few things I want to get done before then as well. Doubt I will get it all done.

 

Should be firing the car tomorrow. Will see what happens, should be there.

 

got my car fired up, it'll move under it's ow,n power, still dont have it in primer, and still not registered, so it'll be a trailer *****, and also no exhaust, just open headers

 

Damn this sucks. Wish I could go. Looks like it's going to be a good gathering... and a ton of fun. I committed earlier this year to Rods N Rockets, the NPD GM Oktoberfest, the Pumpkin Run, and the Turkey Run, so it's going to be busy this fall. Hoping to see some of you yahoos at the latter three shows....

Have fun guys.

 

I'm going to try and make the turkey rod run this year. Have yet to go. Enjoy rods n rockets, we will take lots of pictures

 

I'm back to 50/50 on going. I dynoed my car yesterday and realized my smoking issue has returned and the smoke was coming out from the turbo manifold as well, so my sealing efforts have not succeeded. Also I wanted my new stall before the trip, but my boat got wrecked (insured thankfully) but I need to put some money towards a bottom paint job and the deductible.

Still might go, but we shall see..

 

im in but will not have either car ready......
car pool...? any one going from wpb dont wanna drive alone......
tex me 7728281098.....

 

Got my campsite! I'm going to have to buy a new battery this week and do some work on the van too, because all our kids and 2 of their friends are going for a total of 9 people. If I can't sell my GTA maybe I can trade it for something else...

 

Jim I started a thread about TurkeyRun, I'm going to Octoberfest as well.

 

The NPD GM Oktoberfest? Silver Springs? See you there. I'll be the guy with the brick in the glass bottom boats. Muahahaha.

 

Still debating whether to go to silver springs or not...if I do it won't be in my car.

 

What is Silver Springs? Just curious...

luvofjah, will you be attending this gathering at Ft. De Soto?

Krisw, it is a nice show. There is a fee to register though. Best thing to do is be one of the first 500 to register and it's all free.

 

I'm planning to (and my woman)... my car is under construction (no dash pad, all plastics out (shiny dynomat) But I've done some nice upgrades to the car... My neighbor (he has a 89 TPI Convertible Iroc, he's coming too!

Rafael

 

Good to hear, Rafael! I look forward to seeing what you've done to the car.

-Jim

 

Yup, we've talked on line a few years... now to meet the people...
I have done a lot of work on the car myself, and some stuff I have to pay others

I just drove it this last weekend with new MSD box installed (new injectors, ported plenum, EBL P4 Flash) it ran so smooth!

Rafael

 

I must have been sleeping, I thought this was 3rd gens only.....

 

Nope...although I hope there ends up being more 3rd gens than any other. The Tampa 5th gen crew has quite a few members but they are already scheduled to go to Wiregrass that day so we won't be seeing them.

 

15 days!! So much to do, so little time left!!

 

And now my transmission decides to act up on me. Its stuck on 1st gear!

 

Not good David. My flywheel is bad. Will need to limit how many times I start it before the event.
