I know some of the Gearheds were talking about this being a possibility if it was close, so you might see some of us!

[mustangboy]

I really want to make one of these at some point but we will be on vacation at that time

Sounds like my uncle and I are going to go to Knoxville and Charleston. I guess I need to start taking an interest in the mustang and get it ready. 4 months goes quick!

[JET50213]

My father, son, and I are planning to start from NC and follow it home. My cousin lives in Charlotte and built an old sedan...'29' Ford, I think. We may take my Dad's '57' Chevy?

[Pops Fun]

I have decided to run Concord. nc to Norwalk, Oh. so I hope to see some of you on the road..
Made my reservations, all set to go...

Steve

[JET50213]

I believe we are doing the same thing.

[4n_eatr]

Just requested Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday off so we'll see. If so I'll be heading down to TN. We'll have to figure out a meet up place to leave from. As soon as my leave gets approved I'll be reserving some hotel rooms, although they're probably booked already.
who all has been to this? The registration Is just for the car show, correct? Is that for every stop or one fee for all of them?

[mustangjon]

Definatly doing TN thru Norwalk, may tack on NC... still debating

[4n_eatr]

Sweet. We can have our own power tour down there. I'll be looking for a meet up point.

[Pops Fun]

Hi
Directions pretty confusing... tried to use Mapquest to see the route... no guarantees but i think I am close to their route.
If someone wants to check that would be good.... :) Have it in email, pm me and i will send it.

Traveling down together... will talk to my grandson and make a decision ...

We are heading to Charlotte Friday, staying at my cousin's house. I will be driving my Nissan Frontier. Dad sold his Chevy, so this is the closest thing to a hot rod we currently have available. My cousin will be driving his (27?) Ford sedan. It's flat black with a small block chevy. I'll look for the Stangs! We are going to Norwalk for sure, and possibly Indiana.
