Re: Spring Meet East Coast Chapter

I purchased a 14', 2 axle trailer today for the sole purpose of transporting a '25 Flint project to Kalamazoo for Jack Connor. Jack and I decided it will be a package deal and make things much simpler. I got the trailer cheap enough to make it worthwhile.
This way Jack gets a neat Durant project and I get some more floor space in my barn!!
If Gary still has his '24 Star project I may bring some parts for him also.
That ought to make me a full load.

Don,Jack,All,
I may, or may not be able to get way up North this year to Mich. for the Spring meet. But will try to make it. Guys also congratulations on your "new" FLINT project!

If interested I have some FLINT parts; Transmission, Hubcaps, Manuals, magazine, Misc. Interior, and maybe other FLINT chassis,fuel,exhaust, etc. Parts. They were mixed in with the Loco stuff by the prior owner! So let me know if you are interested in any of this?
Thanks,
Lance C.

Re: Spring Meet East Coast Chapter

The time will soon be here. At this point we have about 30 people signed up. Our activities will include a trip to the Gilmore Car Museum on either Friday or Saturday depending on the weather. We will also be going to the Kalamazoo Air Zoo and possibly a wine tasting tour. We are not planning on any registration fee and paying for events as we go. We may also have a surprise or two for you. The meet will be very informal with time to socialize so bring your stories and pictures.

Re: Spring Meet East Coast Chapter

We made it home safe & sound a totally boring uneventful drive back to Pa. Unlike the very exciting, hanging on to the edge of the doors by the seat of your pants, with Franks boarders loosing their home on the raising of the roof, having your shower without soap and most definately needing a shower and hair washing on arrival back at the hotel. It was much more fun with you Frank. Thanks for giving me something to laugh so hard about. Karen & Tom
