Who plans on attending this one? I haven't been in years, need to get out there again, it's only 45 minutes away...
Last time I ran in to PT members was when Vince (mrquick), Allen (Zbugger), and John Sikora were there. John brought his first gen Camaro road race/street legal car. I don't think he has been on this site for at least 3 years.

I will be there with my 70 Chevelle for sale. Last year we sold a 69 Chevelle. These shows always have great support from the manufactures. DSE and many others will be there. Great to BS with the big dogs.

i've had enough RAIN (from seattle:machine:) It looks like sun to me

Whew! Everybody that I talk to up here is ready for some sun. It's been one heck of a winter this year. I was pleased to see the weather report - the last thing I want to do is drive to CA and have more rain!

How many cars from this site will be there on Saturday? How many cars from here will be there Sunday? I trying to decide which day to go...or if I should just show up both days.

See you guys there.

So, who was there today?

I met Jon from Drivers Inc. and Jason Rushforth today, those are a couple of really nice guys, but I did not see or meet anybody else.

zbugger

03-28-2009, 07:07 PM

We'll be there tomorrow for sure. Hope to see someone there.

Allen, I just noticed your post count....lol

Maybe I will see you guys tomorrow, the car is staying home though...a rear end problem developed today.

03-28-2009, 08:02 PM

I was there today, but never saw Steve around his car.

I met some really nice people at the show today! :) I spent a good half an hour when I got to the show at 8:00AM...trying to find a parking space. I ended up parking my daily driven beater right next to the gazebo near the horse stalls...only because I found a friend who pulled his car out of place to let me back in behind him. The show was CARZY busy. It was insane! And fun to boot.

I can't wait until the Autocross to come to Pleasanton.

larknut

03-28-2009, 08:16 PM

AJ, hit us up Sunday.

4one5two714eight39

Will do! Is there anywhere where the PT guys are hangin' out or meeting?

I will be by my ugly, mostly green stepside with tan wheels for some of the day if anyone happens to pass by. You can't miss it

Looking forward to it, I just need to find the motivation to figure out what is going on with the rear end (of the car).

Tony, it sucks that I missed you, I was keeping an eye out...next time.

barno68

03-29-2009, 07:31 AM

The wife and I were there for a couple of hours. Unfortunately we do not know anybodies cars by sight yet :-) next time. The swapmeet section was a zoo!

This may sounds odd, being a Camaro owner and all, but what is with all the Chevys? I really wanted to see a good collection of Mopars, but only a spattering of Road Runners here and there. Maybe they were huddled in the back ;-)

Hey Steve I saw your car yesterday. Very nice indeed. This is my first post and I am more of Lurking guy.

I have a question on if you have had any powder coating done? I am in Livermore and talked to Moss. Being you are in the valley wondering what the cost was over there.

Thanks for the compliment, sorry I missed you. It is always good to meet people from the board(s), maybe next time.

As far as powdercoating...I had my sub-frame powder coated out here at eagle finishing I gues about 5 years ago. I don't know exactly what the cost was, I think around $200 or 250 or so. Check them out, they did good work and I have had no issues.

Steve, I also sawyour car on Sat. Very nice. That pinstripe down the side really looks nice.

I don't know many of the cars you guys have yet, but there were some really nice rides.

Hey Allen!

It was good meeting you at Pleasanton! Don't worry about not making eye contact in our conversation. I got that all day!:lol:

Maybe it would have been better to not talk for a little while and let you look over the car first before getting into the conversation! :lol:

It was good to see you again Mike. Your car was fantabulous. That was funny timing with the DSE guy.

You think that was funny, you should have seen him with the 40d equip mannequin. I had to get the winch out of the Suburban to get him away from it. :machine:

Your car is incredible John. I can't imagine what it will be like when its done.

Sorry to hear about your troubles Steve. Hope you get it fixed up soon for the next one.

I still don't know how that mannequin stayed balanced. I like them big, but that was disturbing...

Come on Allen, we need pictures of the top heavy manequin!

Sorry I missed you John. I don't know how that happened. Bummer.

03-31-2009, 01:58 PM

We were there and had a great time. Met a lot of guys from the site and sold a bunch of wheels too. We were across from the mannequin in question and watched her get felt up and her shirt pulled up all weekend long!

Congrat's to our good friend, Chris who parked his Camaro in the booth until it got picked for the "Cool Camaro" award.

I was there saturday and it was nuts,we unloaded my buddies '69 Z/28 around 8 and it took us about 30 minutes to find a place to park.We would have never found one either until someone with another Camaro flagged us down and moved some cars so we could squeeze in.
