I am planning on coming again this year! I will talk to my grandpa and make it a plan. My dad might come again. He had a lot of fun last time talking to everyone. And The plan is to bring the 69 GT again, it is going to be a few years before the 1973 Gt will come.

My grandpa registered for the show and made hotel reservations! I can’t wait to see everyone again! My grandpa was even talking about driving the 69 there. Not sure if the engine can make it that far. lol

Front suspension should be done before April and after that the torque tube gets help.

My grandpa and I are coming again this year. I don't know if I have convinced my dad yet. lol

My grandpa and I are hoping to bring a different car this year and that would be my 1972 yellow GT. I got it running and driving around the farm but It has a while before it is street legal. So the race is on!

But if not the 69 Gt will be there if it doesn't let a rod out of the oil pan first.

We will be there Saturday night for sure. Depending on if my dad comes or not the max for us will be 3 people. I do get out of school an hour earlier next year but I don't think we would get there in time. Last year we got there Friday night about 8:30-9:00, but if we drive a car this year it may go about the same depending on how everything goes.

I don't care where we eat, as long as we get food and can hang out with everybody!

I am pretty sure my grandpa is all registered.

Sadly we don't think my yellow 72 GT will be ready since we found out the clutch is shot. I have to do all the lights and wiring, and a whole bunch of other stuff to make it go down the road safely. But we will see I am going to get chugging away on it but we may just bring the 69 Gt again.

Parts that I can bring down if there's any interest:
Bell housing - GT I think
Oil pan
GT front crossmember
Rallye gauge cluster - Kadett I think
Miscellaneous gauges of all types
Header

Respond here or send me a DM if you have anything in particular that you're looking for.
Is it a long tube header? Is it in decent shape?

Yep I know but since I took next weekend off I don't have anytime to load the car and get it ready next week.
