Breakfast Meet 3/20 - Chester Co. (PA) Book Company

[PaulCreamer]

This will probably be a no go event for me. Hammer

NUTZ, Was hoping to meet you. But I know how work can crimp your "Fun Time".

 

[swexlin]

I know when I turn right onto 322/202 that theres a Ford dealer on the left. . and after that a big RV center on the Right.

That's Garnett Ford. You will have several miles to go after that. Just stay on 202 North, and follow the signs for Paoli Pike.



If you go the the Paoli exit (Route 252) you went too far. As we get closer, I'll give you my cell phone number so you can call if you get into trouble!

Good news guys, I talked to my buddy and he said that it would be fine for us to use his parking lot and shop in the marchwood shopping center on the 20th. He said he could move some equipment out and we could pull in a truck or two to work on them inside especially if the weather is not too good. The shop has heat, electric, as well as some tools.



Also on a side note I wanted to suggest the possibility of meeting at the Exton Dinner for breakfast. It is only about 100 yards from the marchwood shopping center and has plenty of parking. just a thought.

Sounds like a plan!!!!

Kevin, that's terrific. You really came through.



Good idea about the Exton Diner too. I think that since we will be down there, the Exton Diner will be better. It opens earlier, and we can get an earlier start with the mods. It will save us travel time down from West Chester.



So, new plan is, Exton Diner, then Marchwood Center. OK - now what time is breakfast. I say about 8 am. How's that with you guys?

 

[llawrence]

Hey guys,

first things first. Jeff take a trip east it would be good to see you again. Exton diner and marchwood shopping center is fine with me. Heck thats even closer to me house then west chester.

As of right now it looks like Scott(PRORAM) is gonna meet me here at my place and then we'll caravan over together. We'll know for sure as the time gets closer if he is able to drive yet by then.



As far as the time goes i am pretty flexible so whatever the majority decides on i should be able to get there by then. One more quick question for everyone. What kinda work is everybody doing? I know there are a couple gauge installs, but anything else? Looks like this is gonna be a fun way to welcome in spring time. Can't wait.

Larry

 

[swexlin]

Simple 3-gauge install for me (assuming my truck is here, of course). Even if my truck isn't here, you can all laugh at my Ford!

 

[FParlee]

Gonna get out the Meguiers for this one!!!

I'm starting to get this truck thing under control. I kept it down to 2 washes this last fine weekend!! I may not have any paint left by the 20th. But it will be clean!!!!



Is there a minimum "shine level" to attend?



I have gauges on the way from Genos Garage, I just don't know if I can wait that long to put them on. And I hope I can figure out how to get this air suspension on before the 20th. Plasma cutter anyone? That's what Jeff Kelderman recommended.



Let me know what time everyone agrees on. I'll be there.



FredOo. Oo.

 

[llawrence]

Just was doing some thinking myself. This might be a good time to get my COMP box put back in. Had to take it out to take the truck back for a leaky core plug in the head. I was OK with taking it out, but not 100% sure about how to hook it back up.



Scott(PRORAM) chime in here if ya would. Do you think you'll be well enough by then to give me a hand with that? I know you have installed a few. If not how about you Kevin(MD500E)? I would just like to see it done again so i don't screw it up. Looking like this is gonna be a fun time. Hope the dinner doesn't freak out when their parking lot fills up with RAMS!!!

Larry

 

[Jeff Knight]

Hey Larry, If I'm able to make it I'll help you put your Comp back in. I did mine. It's not bad at all. Jeff

 

[llawrence]

Sounds good Jeff. I hope you can make it down. I watched Andy do it at Kauffman's, but he did it so fast i am not totally sure about all the hookups. If you can't make it down i am sure somebody else will jump in to help me out. Hope to see ya there.

Larry

 

[Dockboy]

I just may have to come up and check up on you guy's!!



Sounds like a great time



Scott knows I'm somewhat of a nut! Diesel nut that is

 

[MD500E]

Greg, come on up. I think its safe to say that we are all diesel nuts on here



Sounds like Exton diner around 8am on the 20th will be the plan. I will post some directions when it gets to be a little closer.



Kevin

 

[chessie-system]

Greetings,

I'll try to be there. Its a hop skip and a jump from my place especially at that time of day.

Jeff

Greg, I hope you can come. I can tell you the story of why I'm trading my Ford.



Scott

 

[Dockboy]

Scott,



I am going to try and make it



I read all your posts about your problems

 

[swexlin]

Looking forward to this. Looks like I'll be showing up in my Ford, however, as my new truck is apparantly being transported by MULE team from Mexico. Original dealer ETA of 3/15 is being pushed back daily, and as of this morning, is now 3/24.



Honestly, if it arrives before April now, I will be very surprised. So, we will ALL be test driving Fred's truck!



Scott

 

[FParlee]

My poor little Chaquita!

I am getting the 600 re-flash done on 3-13-04 so she should be ready to show her stuff on the 20th.



I'm not sure where to start with all the boxes that are piling up in the garage. Kelderman system, geno's mud flaps, deep trans pan, A-pillar, gauges (EGT back ordered :{ ), Westin nerf bars, hi flow banjo bolts to mount schrader and fuel pressure gauge, filters, filter wrench from Jeff Hardwick (NICE ), bed-liner, bed-rails, etc, etc... ... ... and a TDR grille badge!



Now, I have a little PA pride see? And I think the boys up in new england are trying to up-stage us just a wee bit with the barbeque/dyno thing. (If they were real men, they'd cook their meat on the ex. manifold while doin' the dyno. )



But I digress, I am told there is a dyno facility in Souderton PA.



I for one would like an at-the-wheel reference point before I put any mods on the new Chaquita. Anyone else interested? That can be the next PA Diesel Dogs weekend meet.



If there is interest I will track down the place and get info.



See ya al' next Saturday.



Fred
