Spring Fling '09
a couple questions, first is it too late to get in on the FABO section? and what are the criteria? my car is no show car and I drive it daily. it really isn't even show-able. I'm more inclined to park in the parking lot and maybe just check in and say hi. is there a fee for the FABO thing and if so what is it? another option is I could borrow my sisters 63 Dart GT which is much nicer than my 64.
anyway I'm mainly posting so I'll be able to find this thread again:happy7:
No it's not too late to put it in the FABO section. Yes, there is the fee of the car show of course. $30 pre reg for booth or one days. Cars must remained parked (not moving) between 10am and 1pm. Just write on the pre reg form here "FABO Saturday reserved section":

All Mopars of any kind or condition are welcome. I have pictures of primered Darts next to real 71 Hemi Cudas. It's not about who has the nicer car, but the friendship and commarderie of Mopar ownership. Plus if you buy parts you'll have a shorter distance to schlep them to your car.
Did you see the picture of 66Valiant's convertible at last years show. No hood, no seat, no tops. He actually had as big a crowd around the car as the red hemi cars.
One thing nice about bringing a daily driver or works in progress is that people see what you are working with. So if/when you fix it up later they know you did the car yourself and just didnt buy that way. When Dave brings his Valiant Conv to Spring Fling when finished, people will know what it looked like before and the work he himself put in it.
Also when you bring a car that needs some work, you'd be surprised that people may offer you parts for sale they actually
see you need, rather than trying to resell it. Smart thing would be to have a list of parts (maybe with price range) that you are looking for on a piece of paper on the car. Maybe even have tear offs like people do when selling a car. Instead of making it a sale ad, you'd be making a want ad. Just a random idea.
Having the car there makes for much better networking. And networking is the key to finding quality services/parts at reasonable prices.
