Just notice there's also a small one on Sunday 27 April there next to you at the Washington County Fairgrounds in Richmond RI. I've never been, but a few friends have and said it was okay, but small.

It's not worth the admission price in my opinion. The car show is a bit lame also. _________________ Ernie 87 El Camino "To be Old and Wise, you must first be Young and Stupid" Back to top mnunn Master Wrench Necoa #: 5673 Location: 2(CT,MA,ME,NH,RI,VT) Joined: Jun 26, 2005 Posts: 851 Year: 1970 Model: El Camino Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2008 6:29 pm    Post subject: Ernie, I hear tell that if the weather's nice there'll be three 3rd generation Elkys there at this show next Sunday. 'Think I could shame you into bringing an award winning 5th Gen just to show us all up (especially since it's in your own back yard)?

I'll be there, as long as there is good weather. My El Camino is up on jack stands right now as I was preparing to swap in a 3.73 posi that I've been refurbishing. But I'll put the wheels back on and bring it. Do you want to have all of us enter the show together? I'll give you a call tomorrow night to discuss it. _________________ Ernie 87 El Camino "To be Old and Wise, you must first be Young and Stupid" Back to top mnunn Master Wrench Necoa #: 5673 Location: 2(CT,MA,ME,NH,RI,VT) Joined: Jun 26, 2005 Posts: 851 Year: 1970 Model: El Camino Posted: Wed Apr 23, 2008 6:32 pm    Post subject: Gee Ernie, that's great. Would love to see you and the car and catch up on things. One caveat though...... Sunday's weather will tell all. Not that my car's allergic to rain, but if it looks rainy that day, I'll be staying home and polishing chrome instead. And my bet is Mark and most others will too. Assuming clear weather, I think Bill (red 68 BBC Elky) is planning to arrive fairly early. Mark (if he comes) and I plan to drive together and probably will arrive there between 9 and 10AM. Rich (lcamino) will be coming in his 65 Impala (Elky's in paint). Talk to you tomorrow.

Unless that jet stream does a last minute wiggle, I think it's a wash for me. Just too damn much effort (for me at least) getting them all purty. There's a few shows in May, at least 2 in RI, so we'll all line up behind the Red Ruby.... _________________ Mark 1972 Elky Picture Album Back to top mnunn Master Wrench Necoa #: 5673 Location: 2(CT,MA,ME,NH,RI,VT) Joined: Jun 26, 2005 Posts: 851 Year: 1970 Model: El Camino Posted: Fri May 09, 2008 6:44 pm    Post subject: Tomorrow is the 1st day of the Mansfield Mass. (Tweeter Center) Swap Meet. With the rain forecasted, I'm guessing it's either cancelled or will be poorly attended. I'm staying home. Any brave soul(s) going? _________________ 70 Elky (Non-SS) 454CID, TH700-R4 69 Chev C-10 Pickup (recently Upgraded to 454) w/TH400 29 Model A (Recently Sold).

I just got home from the S.S.A.A.C. Trading Bee at the Tweeter Center. I got there at 7:00 AM. There was a little rain drizzle when I arrived but it stopped by 7:30. It was a pretty big swap meet and was spread out over three parking lots. I picked up a 5th gen center console, some tools, a can of POR15, a couple of XBOX games, and my new bumpers. _________________ Ernie 87 El Camino "To be Old and Wise, you must first be Young and Stupid" Back to top el Bandido Director Region 2 Necoa #: 6322 Location: 2(CT,MA,ME,NH,RI,VT) Joined: Oct 23, 2005 Posts: 84 Year: 1974 Model: El Camino Posted: Sat May 10, 2008 3:27 pm    Post subject: Ernie -- what are you talking about?

Might it by chance have been for a 70? _________________ 70 Elky (Non-SS) 454CID, TH700-R4 69 Chev C-10 Pickup (recently Upgraded to 454) w/TH400 29 Model A (Recently Sold).
