The Stovebolt Site Forums The Side Lot Southern Bolters "GabFest" Georgia Swap Meet Atlanta Drag Strip October 4th

Southern Bolters, I have tried to send out an email to all the 106 Southern Bolters about having a Georgia gathering. I'm currently have some major computer problems and can't send the emails.

Therefore I'm inviting everyone who reads this to join up with me and Victoria, and all others that come, at the swap meet which Bolter Brad54 puts on at the Atlanta Drag Strip the first of each month. The weather is great and we should have a good time. I'll send Brad54. also a bolter, a note and let him know we plan to be there. There is plenty of room and I think he has a place for "old cars and trucks" to park.

If your truck is not ready then drive what you have to. I plan to drive may 52 Panel. I'm hoping to be there by 8:30 but if I'm not there right on time..... I'm on my way. Come on out to meet, greet, eat and gab a little while. It is easy to find and who knows, we may find a part or two for our trucks!

for directions. Its just off the interstate.

If you plan to come please note it here and I'll make a list. Thanks............Alvin

Looking forward to it Alvin. Anyone else in?

Mike, I have not heard a word from anyone but you....but as Peggy says, "gabfest= where two or more bolters gab"

Hopefully some will chime in early next week. I may be driving the 37. I've not been happy with my 3.38 ring and pinion and the guy who built the pumpkin now has the panel and is going to put in another totally new ring/pinion.....and paying for it!! Hopefully it'll be ready.

How about it Southern boys, where ya'll hiding?

I'll be there in my project '52 3100.

Rick, Alvin and Mike. Anyone else planning to make it?

I ran into Brad54 Friday night at a Cruise-in in Commerce, GA and mentioned some of the Southern Bolters would be there. He said he'd be looking for us.

Thanks for checking back in SmallBlock. I"ll be seeing you on Saturday.

Too bad you're not able to drive the panel. The last time I saw it you had a way to go on it. It will be a pleasure to see that shiny blue '37 again. Hoping to get my wife to come too since we're only 5 minutes away. When we were dating, she had a '55 Chevy hardtop and I had a '57 Chevy hardtop. Talk about a perfect match!

Getting closer, how are things going w/the panel Alvin?

Mike, if the guy doesn't get in the new ring and pinion I'm going to pick it up Friday and drive it. A few more miles won't hurt. Its not "that bad" but I expect to get what I paid for. I'll probably see him tomorrow when I go to Greenville. Looks like I need to post a note in the Greasy spoon. Not sure if everyone is checking in here?
I did get a note from Harolds46 that he may be able to make it.

Regardless, I'll see you Saturday. I'm hoping to get there around 9'ish. If I can get the little lady to get up

I should be up there around 730-8. Look forward to seeing everyone.

I hope I remember to bring my Stovebolt Flag. We'll figure out a place to hang and fly it...... I'll check on my panel in the A.M.

I'll try to be there by 8:00. Normally, I think Brad has everybody park along the fence behind the stands. If that's the case, maybe you can hang the flag on the fence Alvin. Looking forward to seeing you guys. Have a safe trip.

All gased up and ready to go. See every in the am.

If you guys are still reading.... the center section of the rear end in my panel is in pieces and the ring and pinion sent back to the MFG. Therefore I'll be driving the 37. Hoping to be there between 8:30 and 9.

Running several days behind, but it was good to see ya'll this past weekend. Wish I could of stuck around a bit longer but momma had plans so I had to get back.

Not sure of any future get togethers, but come spring/summer if any folk wanted to make it out my way (Woodstock/Canton, GA) my neighborhood has a nice park area, plenty of parking and has covered pinic tables/grills/etc.

You all can feel free to join us at the all-GM show this Saturday in Lawrenceville. It looks like the weather is going to be great.

Wish I could but I've committed to show up at the Spartanburg County Fair for the company I work for...Carolina Driveline, for their show and rock crawling event.

Mike, sounds like a plan for next year......now who else wants to have one around Tenn or Fl. ?? Lets make plans now.
