NECOA Region #2 - New England
Meet & Greet/swap meet /breakfast
Saturday, April 22, 2006
Rain date:April 29, 2006
Lawrence Municipal Airport,
North Andover, MA
Please join us for an informal, early spring get-together of New England El Camino owners. Before the first car shows and cruise nights begin, it would be good for all of us to have an opportunity to shake off the winter dust and warm up our engines a bit. This will be a “come-as-you are” event; you do not have to wash and wax your ride. We especially want all the daily drivers, “beaters,” and works-in-progress to be there so we can all see what is being done, offer advice and input, and encouragement.
New members, please stop by. It's always good to put the names and faces together.
This will also be a low-key “swap meet” and we ask everyone to bring along the spare parts and items that you would like to get rid of or put to better use. Price them cheaply enough so that someone can buy them on the spot. Feel free to add to this forum post with items you are bringing.
I would think that the airport would be a nice backdrop for digital pictures. So bring your camera. If you don't have a digital camera, you can have some pictures taken of your ride and if anybody needs help in posting the pictures up to El Camino Central, we can make arrangements for that also.
Members should try to arrive between 9:00 and 10:00. A “diner type breakfast” will be available between 10:30 and 11:00 from Joe’s Landing Café, located right at the airport runway. We are also setting up a guided tour of the FAA Control Tower for those who attend, and possibly a tour of East Coast Aviation’s hanger. We will also try to have one or two “guest” experts attend to offer advice on restorations and finish up around noon-time.
Please let me know if you will be attending. That way we can reserve the proper area for parking and food tables.
Check out Lawerence Airport web site. The airport is located right off Interstate 495, between Rt. 93 and Rt 95 near the NH border of MA. Mapquest 492 Sutton St. North Andover, MA 01845-1505 for directions.

I can make this event. It would be real nice if someone brought a frame that will fit a 72 Elky. I need one real bad!!! _________________ If you want your car fixed the right way, do it yourself!
Hi Jay, Unfortunetly, this one is a bit too much of a ride for me, having had the last surgery a few weeks ago. Unless there's some dramatic improvement in me, I'll have to pass on this one. Look foward to meeting all of you at some point. Later... _________________ Mark

Morning Everyone. Looking at the weather forcast, I'd say it is looking good enough to have our event this Saturday. Maybe a little cool and cloudy, but still O.K. Thanks for reminding me David and I'll send out an email tomorrow with a last minute reminder. _________________ JW - NECOA #768 2011 El Camino SS - http://elcaminocentral.com/users/a73elkyss/.
Watch for the 6th gen Elco's
Garry does need a break, but you got to give him props as he is focused and staying "on task" to get his awesome 4th gen done for the summer season.
Keep up the good work Garry and if you do need a break, feel free to come up for a few hours tomorrow. _________________ JW - NECOA #768 2011 El Camino SS - http://elcaminocentral.com/users/a73elkyss/.

Just wanted to let anyone that is coming tomorow that if you have a spare set of stock hubcaps (the little 5 pointed star with a red chevy bowtie in the middle) i would consider purchasing them if the price isnt too steep. _________________ "Ninja Kick The Damb Rabit" quote by Mikey from TMNT the movie!

Yes, it was a great El Camino day. Good to see everyone after a long winter and catch up with everyone, and nice to meet some new members. We held it as a "Meet and Greet/swapmeet". Throw in a late breakfast and a tour of the flight tower and it turned out great.
We had some "spectators" actually come over and check out our Elco's and chat up a bit. We kinda drew a small crowd. Not to bad for an informal get together.
I made a ECC picture album. If you have other pictures, please add them to this album for all to see.

What a great event. Nice area to have an event too. Some really nice Elky's. Of course I especially like the Yellow Sprint GMC, only because it's the same Generation as mine. Actually I liked them all. I added some pics to Jay's folder and in the Gen III, I started my folder with two pics of my project "Resurrection". It was good to meet all of you guys and gals, and children too!!! Thanks for the warm welcome.
