So yesterday afternoon..."88Turbo" Graham and Sher came up for an overnight stay and to pick up some Tbird stuff. :D
Had a hell of a good time..they be good people. We hung out, and he even helped me put a water pump on the Caprice. :rollin:
After riding to town and back in his TC, I realize I need to get off my ass and put the sport back together. lol
This morning we loaded up a few goodies for his other Tbird that were in my way...can't wait to see it on the road! :shakeass:

Anyways...just wanted to share..and hope to meet up again soon and hang out again, it was a blast! ;)

Hope y'all make it home safe and sound :D

ps...we should plan a mid-west meet for maybe next fall or something...god knows I've got room to host it...there's a few kansas people, some missouri folks, and even some fellas from Illinois  too that would be welcome to come..

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Good to see y'all made it back with decent mileage to boot lol.
Probably better than what the caprice gets, with more power and less engine :rollin:

Ya know..a man just hasn't bonded with another man unless it's working on a Chebby lmfao



I'm pretty serious about the mid-west meet...i figured fall might be a little easier, as it's cooling off, not a lot of big holidays compared to spring etc.

As far as a location, I only suggested my place as I live on a farm, plenty of room, but the sucky thing is there's really nothing around here to go visit, short of a covered bridge, General Pershing's home, and some little stuff.
I'd be perfectly happy to do it somewhere else if someone had a better place lol.

I just thought since there's about as many Kansas and KC metro people as there are Eastern Missouri and Illinois/Indiana folks
that a centralized location would be easier..but I'm game for anything.

I wouldn't mind coming out if I was welcome. I'd have to see if I could but I'd be interested none the less. It'd be nice to put some faces with the names.
