I look forward to meeting up with the newcomers... Hopefully dad will post up a link to the nearest hotel and what he can handle as far as accomidations.

I hope to have LS1 front brakes ready to go, maybe work on my alky kit as well (im picky but undecided about the tank and placement)

I'll bring datamaster and my autoprom, as much stuff as I can think of that will be usefull to others.

I'd like to go into town and do either have our own hangout or crash someone elses... Maybe keith or charles would know a good place to go for dinner and or a show.

Re: Memorial Meet - FAST / GAST

Might as well start posting projects.

Ive got the following:


SYCLONE
1. Steering shaft replacement with Renz Shaft
2. Replace bump stops on A-arms
3. ABS Delete (if time permits)
4. Adjust Caltracs

TYPHOON
1. Tighten up exhaust, its rattling somewhere
2. Tighten and adjust tailgate and back window...it doesnt feel "shut"
3. Replace boost vac line from gauge - sprung a leak, caught on E-brake pedal and kinked it.


The steering shaft is a definate. Ive got an issue with the sy wildly going hard left when I step on it (picture andrew at the track during Nats), and I know my stocker is on its last leg.

I could use some help tracking down a hesitation.
Maybe some tuning as well.
I will hopefully get to do the brake swap before that weekend.

Anyone up for installing LS1 brakes on my Ty. I'm not sure how big of a job it is and I don't want to take the whole weekend doing it.

If anyone wants to bring air tools (please do if you have any), I will load up my compressor and bring it with.

sawzall works decent for the brakes. If need be, an angle grinder with cut off wheel will work as well.

Dad has a compressor, so no need to tug it around. I think hes got an angle grinder and cut off wheels as well as a recipricating saw.

Good deal...

I will be bringing my outside tent to set up that makes for some nice shade when working on trucks.

Not sure yet.
Still waiting on parts to get here.
I plan on doing it sometime around the end of May, would like to do it before the get together if possible.
I have to borrow my roommates car when he goes out of town that week and i don't know when he's leaving.

I talked to Greg today and he said that James Rivard Pontiac dealer in Brandon might be open to us "hanging" out there for awhile. Hooters is real close and so are many other places of interest. Let me know what you guys think? It'll be something different to do.
