DusterBoy15 08-20-2007, 03:00 AM who in nor cal wants to do a mini meet were you can bring al lthe extra parts you got and we can just look at each others cars and have like a mini swap meet
A GOOD PLACE WOULD BE LIKE A LAKE CUNNINGHAM IN SAN JOSE OR SOMETHING
GTXperience 08-20-2007, 03:47 AM If this were to happen (and I am not saying it is a bad idea), I think the considerate thing to do is to 1) gauge interest and 2) map out where those who have shown interest are located in order to centralize a location and make it convenient for the masses.
Then there is the matter of when. If the centralized location coincided with an auto (preferably a Mopar) event, all the better. Otherwise, I am all up for meeting up but do not think I would bring parts out.
BTW: Are you suggesting this in hopes of someone showing up with the KB pistons you are looking for? ;-)
autoxcuda 08-20-2007, 12:50 PM There are Mopar shows and swap in your area in Nor Cal. Have you been to any of them?
The Madera mopar meet October has a great swap meet. About 30-40 swappers last one I went to. And about 200 mopars all in a nice park with shade trees.

ya your right but when mopar alley has it at fremont and people come out i think thats cool and san jose is only 10mins from san jose..
and bout the kb pistons might not be a bad idea haha:cheers:

Ok, are you talking about a Bay Area get-together or a NorCal get-together as stated in the subject line? I still think gauging interest and basing it off of that is the way to go. What if 2 people from the South Bay wanted to participate and there were 4 from San Francisco and 5 in the Petaluma/Santa Rosa area. Would it make sense for everyone to drive to San Jose or would it make more sense to choose a more centralized location?
DusterBoy15 08-20-2007, 04:19 PM more centralized area but what if we found out who wanted to come and were they were from that way it is center
GTXperience 08-20-2007, 04:32 PM more centralized area but what if we found out who wanted to come and were they were from that way it is center
First of all ... ????
Secondly, after using my secret decoder ring, I think what you are asking is if the majority of the people that wanted to participate were in the South Bay, would the South Bay be the centralized location.
Answer: Sure, why not? My scenario was a hypothetical (a what if).
sublimeswinger 08-20-2007, 04:36 PM Ill go. Im going to Sac in Sept. also
DusterBoy15 08-20-2007, 04:47 PM ya thats sorta of what i mean but it would have to be a half way point for everyone
Thrashard340 08-20-2007, 04:57 PM How many replies do you want to see before you determine the halfway point?
DusterBoy15 08-20-2007, 05:13 PM well what do you think is the half way point? becasue if people are coming an hr from the north SF and a hr from the south like bakersfield and up
san jose is an hr away from sf and maybe a lil more from bakersfield but you choose
autoxcuda 08-20-2007, 05:21 PM Why not just go to this existing Mopar event in Sacramento??? Seems pretty centralized.
I'll bet there are 15-30 mopars swappers that will be there that wouldn't come to an FABO event. So you'll get the added benefit of checking out their stuff while you're there. And there will be racing and show cars. I bet 200+ other mopars.
No need to make a get together more complicated than needed.
DusterBoy15 08-20-2007, 05:32 PM ya i wish i could really do but i dont think the old duster would make it it needs tires and shocks and belts so i prolly wont go any were farther then 20 min away this year any ways
GTXperience 08-20-2007, 06:53 PM ya i wish i could really do but i dont think the old duster would make it it needs tires and shocks and belts so i prolly wont go any were farther then 20 min away this year any ways
You could always take another car or get a ride with someone and still participate. This is your brainchild. You shouldn't abandon it because you think your car won't make it.
DusterBoy15 08-20-2007, 07:02 PM true ... i dont see anythign wrong with the sacramento one so maybe a possablity i have a four banger dodge stratus 5sped that i wouldent mind racing for fun haha ill see what im doing around that time.... but i still want a meet around here
DusterBoy15 08-27-2007, 11:12 PM Ok For The People That Live In San Jose Or Want To Come We Will Be Trying To Have A Meet On Alum Rock Road In San Jose Near James Lick High Scool Which Is On White Road The Resturant Is Call Mi Renchito And There Is Alos A Osh And A Reeds I Would Say We Could Meet There At One O Clock On Sunday The 2nd Of Sept. Let Me Know Zip Code Is 95127
BubbaCuda 08-27-2007, 11:58 PM Any other weekend would be good, but this weekend is a holiday weekend. how about during the week.

DusterBoy15 09-06-2007, 03:39 PM well if anyone one comes maybe some one will have some 273 rockers? haha yes i really want some
slantscamp 09-14-2007, 07:31 PM i just saw this thread. is anyone planning on doing another meet? i live in hayward right now but am moving to pittsburg soon. i would still be interisted in going though.
DusterBoy15 09-14-2007, 07:51 PM we dident have it no one contacted me so iono
GTXperience 09-14-2007, 07:52 PM Is anyone actually arranging this or is this going to go around in circles with dates being suggested (and then passing) along with the repeated plea for 273 rockers? This thread started three weeks ago and there is no progression at all.
DusterBoy15 09-14-2007, 08:50 PM is gonna go around till some one makes it final like until i want the rockers
so if no ones going to help and just talk then nothings going to happed
keep on subject
WAT BOUT FRIDAY THE 21
OneOfMany 09-14-2007, 08:57 PM This thread is spinning so fast it making me dizzy. I'd come, but its like 3000 miles. Meet me half way?
LOL
sic71dart 09-29-2007, 11:51 PM Dusterboy has a good idea in general. I suggest maybe just doing a south bay meet up. People from San Jose, Milpitas,Santa Clara, Cambell maybe Sunnyvale or Los gatos too. Maybe just a get together to hang out and chill or trade ideas, parts and maybe even help each other out with projects. It probably wouldnt be as big as a bay area meeting but I bet we could get a good dozen or so people to meet up. What do you guys think? I know theres an Fbody/LS1 type meet up every week or so in the parking lot off Union and Camden right by my house. I have put my project on hold for almost a year now due to money problems but look forward soon to getting back into it and I personally think this could kinda help motivate me.
GTXperience 09-30-2007, 12:00 AM Ok ... let us know how it turns out (include pics).
Thrashard340 09-30-2007, 02:12 AM Fremont, Milpitas works for me...
DusterBoy15 09-30-2007, 04:08 PM how bout GREAT MALL like on top of a parking garage or something would be nice and lots of space
set it up thrashard something on a sat or sunday in the afterrnoon
LET ME KNOW
Thrashard340 09-30-2007, 05:09 PM how bout GREAT MALL like on top of a parking garage or something would be nice and lots of space

LET ME KNOW
Your brainchild on this project. YOU set it up and let us know.
DusterBoy15 09-30-2007, 07:13 PM hmmm= (dqwbfhwebb) how about possibly oct 16 or 20th
BubbaCuda 09-30-2007, 09:14 PM Its a good plan just go with it. If you try to acomadate everyone nothing will ever happen.I can go on the 20th. I should have the 65 back on the road by then. Keep me informed of what time and the details.
GTXperience 09-30-2007, 10:03 PM Your brainchild on this project. YOU set it up and let us know.
Thrahard340 is right here. If you are the originator of an idea like this, step up and see it through (especially if you are looking to get something out of it "like rocker arms or rollers"). I know this is youth talking but don't throw it on someone else's shoulders to execute a plan or idea you came up with.
It's like me starting a thread saying that I want to pull my drivetrain out of my car by reversing the factory's installation method of dropping the unibody onto the k-member and motor/trans so I can take pictures for other members to see how it is done. Then I post that you should be over here at 1pm this Saturday to take it out for me (I'll be back from lunch in a few hours).
If you need help planning this, it is fine to ask.
Suggestion: Set a date that at least a few people have confirmed and roll with it. As for meeting in a shopping mall parking lot, you may want to consider ok'ing it (especially with security). I don't know if they want xx amount of cars rolling in and people plopping parts out on the ground.
Just my $.02.
DusterBoy15 09-30-2007, 10:58 PM ok thanks
i dont think they will say anything
sic71dart 10-01-2007, 12:26 AM 20th would work for me too, Saturdays or Sundays generally since I work during the week. Maybe this could be a once a month or every other weekend thing huh? Isnt the great mall typically pretty crowded though? I mean I dont go there often but from what I gather its usually pretty packed.. its been awhile though but whatever works for the majority is fine by me.
DusterBoy15 10-01-2007, 09:29 PM see now im thinking bout IN N OUT ON CAPITOL IN SAN JOSE
so that we can eat also, they also have togos jamba juice and its near the freeway
DusterBoy15 10-08-2007, 11:58 PM SO IN N OUT CAPITOL SAN JOSE CA NEAR EASTRIDGE MALL ON THE 20th
GTXperience 10-09-2007, 02:01 AM All right folks, DusterBoy15 has set the location & date (a time would be good as well) and only 49 days after the thread started ... not bad. Since it has been designated as a South Bay get-together, please take pics and report back.
Thrashard340 10-09-2007, 04:48 PM OK...let's get a head count.
20th is good for me. It's a little far south for me. Not sure if I can make it out with the Duster. 4.10 gears don't make it too pleasant. But I can come by with some parts.
I have the following...
73-76 gauge cluster
(2) 15x8 slotted mags
Eddy 600 slightly used (only about 100 miles of use, still on the car)
Edelbrock Streetmaster intake (old torker type manifold for 318)
I'll see what else I have when I get home.
DusterBoy15 10-09-2007, 08:22 PM i dont know time yet maybe a 2-4 o clock unless i have a game will let know sooner
Blues65 10-10-2007, 10:22 AM I am tied up most of the weekends this month but I have a spare set of 273 rockers and pushrods, you’re welcome to them. The MoPar Alley meeting is Saturday the 20th, why not just meet up there and get to know more local MoPar folks (even if most are B-Body guys).
sic71dart 10-10-2007, 11:33 PM Where is the mopar alley meet up going to be held? Is it ok if non members show up?
GTXperience 10-11-2007, 12:18 AM There might be a few of us showing up from the Peninsula if it is at In-N-Out but I don't think we will show up if it is at the club meeting.
DusterBoy15 10-11-2007, 01:00 AM naw im not going to n moparalley im going to in N OUT
sic71dart 10-12-2007, 12:10 AM Which InNout do you guys meet up at?
DusterBoy15 10-12-2007, 05:38 PM what???

Not good on the 3rd of November. The Goodguys show is that weekend.
GTXperience 10-15-2007, 01:20 PM Here we go again. We are not coming down and will wait to hear if there is a new solid date in the future.
DusterBoy15 10-15-2007, 07:55 PM ook well sorry guys the people at work wont let me get that day off even with weeks notice so i guess another day
