    As the title say it is this weekend....Me and the Girlfriend have rented a cabin in our usuall location. Went to the shades of the past rod run last weekend. saw lots of old rods and lots of muscle cars too. Say one 76 comet for 1600 bucks and a 71/72 grabber for sale for 7600 bucks. didnt stop to get a closer look at them, if they are there this weekend I will get info on them.
    Anyone that will be there, we can hookup for lunch or breakfast......PANCAKES:thumbs2:....where is Frank......
    Here is my cell # 865-250-1006. we will be headed up there around noon on friday and headed home sometime on sunday afternoon.

    I was going to go but I can't, I am stuck in Boulder, Co. and will be for the next couple of months.
    Robert, I hope you have fun :yahoo:. On another note, how is the garage coming?

    Wish I could attend. September in that region is a great month. Days are still warm, nights are starting to cool off and less humidity.I used to go to Dale Hollow Lake every September for that reason. Should be a great show. Post pics, please.

    Well I am back.......went up with fuel at 3.65 a gallon and came back at 5.25 a gallon..:mad:

    The jump in fuel cost caused a reduction of crusin on the strip but most people arrived on thursday and early friday befor the jump in prices.

    I saw a few mavericks I attached a few pictures.
    The red one is 18,000 and the cobra one is 7900.

    The last one is a maverick that is half buried, It has been there for years. I pass it every year on the way up to the cabins. The yellow is still on chapman highway too.
