Sweet. Yeah Im gone this weekend. But hopefully next week I'll be free sometime. I swapped some stereo stuff today with a kid. Hopefully FINALLY do it the right way in my car. What all do you need for your 302 swap?

I'd attend if it's in northern MO.  ****, I'll show up if it's in central MO, but that's as far south as I'm going for now (just got back from driving 34 hours from mexico).

hmm, I have been looking at it alot, a colorado meet would work for lots of people. Opens it up for me at least.

Utah, arizona, colorado of course. I am sure lots of other people would go with enough notice.

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.

Well it looks like colorado seems to be one thats coming up alot. Do we have any board members from colorado? It'd be kind of nice to have a central meeting point for everyone once we get there as well as someone who knows the area and can set things up we're going to need there like a place at a park and such. Also enough notice I dont think would be a problem. I'm not sure we can even do it this year unless we rush alot of stuff.
Although it is only the beginning of spring. If we're going to set up a meet I want it to be something everyone from the board can be proud to say we have, not something we just throw together real quick so we can all get together and hang out.

The amusp00get park part sounds kinda cool.Not sure though that would be pushing it for some of the people over in Missouri.Utah is a nice little drive for me, they have to go through an entire state extra. But it's something for everyone to think about. Works for me. If everyone else is happy with that idea it'll work. Then we can move on to the next thing we need to do.

Pick an iceburg honestly though ya'lls having it without me if its in alaska this white boy wasnt built with insulation and I dont own enough clothes for the weather there.:D And before anyone says it yes I'm a wuss. We need somewhere warm.

I am gonna have to shoot down the utah idea. I am in utah, but lagoon isnt that cool or anything. Its just an amusp00get park. I think colorado would be a good choice. I really do. Its only a 6-8 hour drive from salt lake area, and alot closer to alot of your mid westerners(I always thought utah fit in that catagory, but I guess not.) And if you cant make that,  84t-bird, I am sure you could tag along with me

Yeah I had another member talking to me through yahoo yesterday and we both thought that Utah might be a bit far for some of the Missouri folks. Im still thinking Colorado would be a good idea but thats going to take alot of extra planning if we cant find someone there.

Yeah, Colorado sounds good its only like a 8 hour drive for me, But thats cause I'm in South Dakota.  And I think my 84 T-Bird could make it that far and back. lol just don't make it anywhere cold.
