Apparently with Doc Toddy as my swamper  In talking with John V, we've been asked to put on a seminar. Any volunteers to do something like a timing or valve adjustment seminar? I'll volunteer Charlie ... Other ideas? Who's in?

Finally, with permission of Chris and Joe, I will disable both engines and have teams try and revive them.
Thoughts?

I would be good with that, as long as the wife is still good with me coming up. I will also need to find a trailer to tow her up on. Also, better to have the inner fenders removed or in place?
FYI, if I come up, then I will only be there on Saturday.

I have lots of parts to sell and need to know if it will be worth it to bring it all up on my trailer to Winchester from Virginia Beach to sell in the swap meet. Are there a lots of people that go there looking for parts?
Also, what's the deal with the "projects" which you are talking about?
What's the camping situation?

Carl ... There is a Swap Meet. Iffy as to whether or not it will be good to sell at or not. This is mostly a big truck kinda event, but lots of little trucks show up, too. Still fun. So hard to tell you what to do about that. ...
Camping is great -- bring your tent and join camp stovebolt. Just be sure to check in with the Camp Commandant (Billy) for the low down. There is a camping fee at registration but it's not much. We arrange the RV's and the tents in a big Horseshoe with the Stovebolts across the opening. It's fun.

1. I may have my neighbor with his autistic son. His son loves old trucks...anyone willing to give this young man a ride around the block?
2. Since I will be arriving on Saturday morning and you all will probably be out of beer, what kind do you want me to bring up? I gotta pay my dues to the ODSS for all the help you guys have given me!

The awesome thing about the show is the fact there is room to do just that, drive stuff. Between naked trucks, tractors, trucks of all sizes, heck last year I drove a Mule, a military "cart", basically it looks like plywood with wheels.
Had all the brothers on board, took an evening patrol. Had a blast.
I'm sure your buddies son will find something he likes.
