The Midwest City National meet was the smaller side , but it still managed to generate a profit. The lack of BCA members in that area was known going in, and resulted in a small meet. The good news is that going forward, we know it is possible to run a small meet and still at least break even. The profit generated was because of the excellent management of that meet by the host Chapter . (The North Texas Chapter).
The results of the survey that was included in the registration packets provided the following data:
270 Registrants
49 Forms returned by members
The reason for attending a BCA National Meet : (members could give more than one answer to this question)
40 said to meet with and spend time with Buick friends
25 to have their car judged
5 to display their car only with out having it judged
21 to go on the tours
for people not attending the banquet only two members responded with a reason. 1 was because of cost, 1 because they found it boring
The answer to the question of whether members would pay more money for an upscale location ,16 members indicated they would
The answer to the question of whether or not events should be planned for younger Children. 14 Members answered that we should have such events.
The answer to the question of whether the National Meets should continue to be moved around the Country . 45 Members answered yes
The answer to How far would you travel for a National Meet 500 mi 10
1000 mi 11
Anywhere 16
The answer to your favorite meet activity
Swap meet 6
The people. 12
Tours 6
Car show 12

Jack,
There are several websites that allow you to find most of a persons personal contact info (telephone and email addresses). Some of those sites are even free to access where others require a fee to use.
If you list your full name or your telephone number online, I guarantee you some bad actor will pick it up and use it to start spamming you or offer you scam deals.
I am pretty sure I can find your phone number, email address and current residence location just from the information in your AACA.org profile. You might want to change your display name and remove your exact location.
My two cents worth...
Thanks for your input, I sit on several Boards including the Buck Club, and including a Municipal Board in the City where I live, so my info is really not very hard to get. The good news is that I am a cheap old yankee that throws nickels around like they are man hole covers, so I am not too easy to fall victim to a scam.

Jack if you received a PM from a scammer, please hit the report button on the PM so the scammer will be reported to the moderators. The moderators need to know about scammers who have registered on the forum. If you report it, they can ban the scammer.
Thanks Matt: I have just done that, It looks like he is getting in the back door some how. no profile or listing of him on this forum, yet he has a way of PM and making it appear legit. Had another scammer email me . (not sure how he got my email) and send me one of the photos of the legit seller to prove he had a manifold. He was looking for payment in bit coin. (always a red flag to me)

This same guy just tried to scam me on a 320 CI intake manifold the I was looking for in the parts fro sale section

I have had an ad on the forum, both under Buick buy / sell and AACA parts wanted looking for a 1940 large series intake manifold. I had several replies from bona fide Buick and AACA guys and, I ended up finding three legit ones. I bought from the first authentic seller. I also had two scam offers offering to sell to me. One actually used one of the photos from the gentleman that. I bought from. The scary part is that he had PM'd me those photos. So someone hacked his account or mine. The other one was from. a seller with no profile on the forum, so that was a give away. I would say to be careful who you buy from or sell to . There are bad guys out there and some of them have access to this forum.

There is a very nice 1941 Buick model 41 4 door sedan for auction on Bring a trailer.com. It is not mine, but it looks to be a veery nice car. It has the optional dual carb set up (compound carburation. The interior loos especially nice. Worth a look for someone looking for a nice prewar car.

Thank you both for helping me out. I shall follow up with the paint companies you recommended.
Am looking forward to trying out some rattle cans of the three colors needed by my '53 Super Estate Wagon.
Yours,
JohnV
John: Glad you are making progress on your woody. I was in Brunswick the other day at the book store and I pointed out your house to my wife. I told her there was a Buick woody in the pantry. (I always point out things like that because it makes me seem a bit closer to normal) . I think it has been over twenty years since Dave Buckman and I were at your house. Still remember that your are a great cook. I am headed up to Wells for the Woody meet this weekend. Maybe I will see you there. Dave is bringing his '52 Buick Super woody.

Jack, I do not recall just what Buick called that "slurry". Basically, a slurry of heavy oil and graphite. This was with NO gaskets.

Thanks Ben

I am in the process of disassembling the exhaust manifold on my 1940 Limited to do repairs on the heat riser and repair a crack on the exhaust manifold. I remember that there is a process in reassembly where a lubricant should be coated on the manifold sections to allow them to move with the heat. I think the lack of doing that by the original restorer has caused the manifold to crack. Just wondering what should be used.

The BOD has realized that Ebugle members do not get the outside cover wrapper that generally lists the National Meet and other matters as a part of their subscription. That has been changed and from now on, that will be included as part of the EBugle. some of the first items to be seen will be the upcoming SOP changes and the latest financial report. Regular members have always had access to the cover wrapper.
