Hi everyone....I'm not sure if this is the best place for this question, but I figured it's a good place to start.

I have recently bought a '56 GMC and am still pretty new to the restoration game and need some advice on possibly joining a car club, but I know even less about them than I do about working on old trucks. Basically am looking for a group of people to do shows with and to also get hands on help when needed beyond the wealth of knowledge I can find on here. Also one of the goals of this project (besides restoring the truck of my dreams) is to help my kids (2 boys and 1 girl) to learn to love the classics the way my wife and I do.

Long story short.....does anyone know/recommend a club in the Olympia/Tacoma areas of Washington or even a national club that is like this? Most of what I have been able to find just sponsor large shows and publish a magazine and seem to be made up of people with lots of money to show off....not really what I want my kids think car collecting/restoring is about. Thank you for any and all help.

Jon
