Guest SalG (Sal Grenci) Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Rick, Are you going to have another DF party at your shop? The past three years have been great to meet and put faces with DF names. Some info for you new guys:The past 3 years it has started at 6:30 or 7:00, some come after they eat, some before. Rick has snacks and drinks and there is a brief introduction period and then people talk cars, the DF and tour Rick's restoration shop. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 It would be so cool if somebody here would leave me a round trip ticlet at DFW and get me a rental car and hotel room. Any philanthropists frequent this board? <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Hoover Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Sure, let's do it again! I just can't believe we've been doing it for 4 years already. As in the past, you are all very welcome to come and visit. And by all means, bring along any of your friends you're traveling with. This has always been a great time to get together, talk cars, shoot the breeze and have a good time on a Wednesday night. Anyone that needs directions from the Hershey Fall Meet Show Fields over to the shop, just send me a e-mail or mention it on here and I'll e-mail you a map with directions. The shop is 7 miles south of Hershey. Let's make it the same as before. Wednesday, October 8th, anytime after 6PM. I should be back from the show fields by then. Looking forward to it! Rick Sorry Bruce, that '42 Caddy Convertible is sold and gone. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Still hope you can make it though!

Ron Green Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 One of these years I am going to make it but I bought tickets again for the museum dinner which again falls on the same night. Damn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BruceW Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Count me in being there Rick. I wouldn't miss it for anything.Besides... gotta see what is now in the bay vacated by that beautiful Cadillac <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Rick, I might be showing up in the big rig. So, save me a spot for the truck and trailer. I'll hit your party, come home, then go back up Friday for the big "doo-dah" the next day. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Harlin Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 RICK And I thought you were my friend? Guess Ill have to tell your Dad, Red that you didnt tell us last week when we visited with you bout the party? I know he will invite us. I guess we must have done something you didnt like, and am sorry if we did.We all had a nice time with you, even though we upset you. Havent used the polish yet, but will let you know how it works. Your Friend, JackPS: I bet I know who else isnt comming. HA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Hoover Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Jack, The only thing you did to upset me was leave and head back to Florida! You could had stayed another 3 weeks and made the party. Besides, I noticed how quick you were to get out the door after I asked you stick around and paint a couple cars for me. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Tell you what ol' buddy, jump back in that Packard and head on up here. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Ron, I was hoping you'd make it this time. Maybe next year? Or, you could pull out of that dinner early and stop over? Grab Cal and bring him along. You can finish listening to him over here! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Remember, you're only 5 minutes away that night. Wayne, if you can make it and you're in that Pete, call me about a place to park before getting here as I'm back in the woods a little. I don't want to see you get in a tight spot, as I know some of you fancy rig drivers have problems backing up. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Hey guys ---- Rick has been hosting this get together for four years now. What say each of us pick up a bag of chips, fritos, pretzels or a big bottle of soda and bring it along. Rick does enough having to get ready for us without having to pick up the tab too. This is a DFer's party at Ricks place, not a business promotional thing for him.hvs <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novaman Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Things are looking up. I now have first, second AND third and overdrive gears. Also, got the torque converter to stop bouncing between lock-up and unlocked. Dang wire connector was fixing to fall completely of the throttle postion sensor. Headed to a concert to night with the truck. Will know for sure if it is cured. Can't wait to head up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Hoover Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Ron,I was hoping you'd bring the Famous Flory BBQ again. And since HVS can't make it, that's all the more for us! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />Come on Novaman, lets get it fixed and make it up here. I have faith in you! And yes nearchocolatetown, I caught that Hoover type remark you made. Now you can bring your own drinks for that one. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Sending a few directions out. Anyone else need one?

Guest Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 ron,how long dose your party last?For us late arrivals?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Hoover Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Tommy, Actually, the party isn't mine, it's all of ours that talk on here. I'm just the guy offering a place close by to Hershey so we can get together and meet. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> In the past Tommy, we have been here as late as 10 to 10:30. Most head out around 9 or so, but we always have a few that want to stick around, shoot the breeze a little longer and finish up any left over BBQ of Ron Florys. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I'll be heading over tomorrow to work at Hershey, but if there's any last minute directions needed, I can send some out tonight yet. Looking foward to seeing all of you again and meeting those that I haven't before. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Hi everyone. I just got home from Rick's party, 2:00am Eastern Standard Time, you all. Had a great time, a few Directors showed up, we were easy on them. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I've got pictures, but that'll have to wait until next week. I don't want to surprise those not able to protect themselves from my "revealing" pictures. Thanks go to Rick, Ron for his excellent BarbiQ, and the cookies from whoever sent them. I enjoyed myself, even though Rick embarrassed me by having to turn my truck around for me. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6219_Rules Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Welcome back, Wayne! Missed you....could you be one of the many truckers I wink my lights at when they pass? I love it when the wink theirs back. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Winking? What's you talkin' about Randall? If you did in fact wink at me, you should immediately take a good handful of wheel, cause Wayne don't wink back....Oh! 'Cuse me Randall, I missed the headlight part there, Bud! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Yeh, I "wink" (notice quotation marks there, Randall) once and a while when I really notice you. I don't want you guys to take this wrong, but I can pass a vehicle and 2 minutes later look in my mirrow and wonder where the vehicle came from. I do this all the time, it's something mental, no automatic I guess since I've been doing it so long. Yesterday morning, up at 6:30 to get breakfast before Pedro picked me up and took me to the "show". Met up with Ron Flory, then wore my legs out all day looking for friends, found Howard Scotland and then Bruce Wheeler rang me up and walked over to Howard's flea site. We had a great time discussing wine, women, and song...no,no, actually the AACA and politics(a popular subject with Howard), and Howard's life as an Air Force man and on into his career as a glassman. I found out that I used to actually deliver grain next door to his business back in 1977-78. Small world. Also, caught up with Pat/ex98thdrill and his dad and spent a lot of time with Bob/want1937hd. If you fellows remember a Joris(sic) from the Netherlands(prewarcars.com)from last year, he showed up at Bob's "place" after a terrible 26 hour flight back and forth over the Atlantic as he missed a flight and got flown back over the ocean,long story, long day, lost luggage, all just to see Hershey. How about that? Then, of course Rick's party. That'll be next week or the weekend when I have time for pictures. See ya, Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
