Spring Fling 36 Apr 20 & 21, 2024 Van Nuys CA -info & roll call

[ckessel]

Should be good to go after tomorrow. Replacing the p/s pressure line. It popped a block away from home, thankfully, after I had hit the engine/trans/k-frame etc with EB1 Gunk and citrus based degreaser in a garden sprayer. Will freshen it up after the line gets done.

 

[moparmarks]

Got my swap spots. Really to rock n roll.

 

[gtx6970]

We will be in town later afternoon Thursday .

Stay at the Airtel again this year.

Anyone know if they got the remodeling done, Restaurant on site now open ????

I'll pick up a bottle of Captain Morgan this week for evening festivities.

We did a test fit over the weekend and all is good . Jim is having the Dart detailed now.
So we will be top down cruising this year .

Pre Reg is up some from past.

There's going to be great weather this weekend !!

 

[gtx6970]

*80s and partly cloudy is perfect .

 

[autoxcuda]

Lots of large swappers.

MoparMarks brings sheet metal.
Jeremy MacDonald is bringing a bunch of sheet metal.

Reach out to these guys before show so they can bring what you need. They have more than what they bring.

I saw a post on the Facebook page looking for 1970 Roadrunner/Satellite front fenders

This is always the struggle….
Do I drive the CAR and blend in with the other guys or drive the TRUCK in case I see parts in the swap too big to fit in the car ??
In 2022 I drove the car for the 5th time and of course…. I saw two restorable ‘70 Charger grilles in the swap.

My reaction when I drive the car and see parts I can only carry in the truck….

 

[tirefryin-Bob]

I'm going. Bringing the RAM as I'll be looking for parts. 84 mile drive one way and lots of coffee LOL..

The website says there is no restaurant yet

Denny’s. Right turn, under runway, its on the right. About 4 blocks. Or walk over to Beeps.

 

[1 Wild R/T]

I was gonna suggest the 94th Aero Squadron but apparently it's gone...

 

[Kern Dog]

For years I made it a habit to go to Tommy's on Roscoe.
After several visits with underwhelming food, I'm giving up. I love a good hamburger but their quality has really dropped off.
The Bob's Big Boy in Northridge was decent. That place has been a common hang-out on Saturday but I see there is some other "cruise" sponsored by CPW ?

 

[Dennis H]

Don’t forget Supercar Sunday in Woodland Hills. Just roll through early before the Woodley Show. Uncap em to piss of the Lambo/Ferrari guys.
