We've had burgers, dogs, meatball sandwiches, pulled pork and more. We had quite a feast last year! :thumbsup:

I hate to say it, but that's pretty much true. But then again, cold beer (or other drinks), good friends and cool cars make it all worth it! :thumbsup:

Sorry - done! I'm used to moderator inbox on FBBO (= no worries)!

Hey, we are up for volunteers! :p (but seriously, we do need to keep this family oriented!) :rolleyes: I don't think I want to sink my teeth into that, even if it is reported to be tasty!!!

Awesome - thank you! This simple act helps make the whole tent and luncheon possible. Without it, we would have to pay for the tent and costs would go way up. I greatly appreciate the support :thumbsup: First, there is absolutely no requirement for anyone to pay for anything. The luncheon is...

I just sent the form in for the FxBO tent, so it is time to start planning the tent activities for this year's event. (July 12, 2024 - July 14, 2024) As a reminder, please list FBBO as your "car club" when registering a car. This helps us get a better tent for all of us to enjoy. (We have been...

2023 Chrysler Nationals FxBO Tent Activities First, the FBBO tent is located at spots ID 75-77 - see map picture below. Friday: Noon to 1PM Bring your own lunch and hang out with other FxBO members. There will be water and beer available to drink - free as long as supplies last. Saturday...

We can certainly add that. In the next couple of days, I will be posting a schedule. I ill also print this and it will be at the tent. If you want, I can add something to it...

While you are waiting to do your clutch, I'd suggest you pull your distributor. Have the mechanical advance checked by an old school speed shop that can run it on a distributor machine. For your engine, I'd say you want the timing to start coming in around 1000 RPM. I will also assume you will...

I couldn't agree more. We spend lots of time talking about cams, heads, cabs, etc., and then just throw a distributor into the engine and run it. The distributor advance curve is critical to a good running engine. The exact same engine can run like a pig or a scared ape, depending on carb and...

I think we have a better location than last year. We are centered so it should be easier for C and E body folks to make their way over - AND we are close to food and bathrooms! Here is a partial map. The tent is in spot M:

With apologies I am WAY behind this year with Carlisle plans. I had to build an engine and then participate in the Hot Rod Power Tour so my time has been taken up doing that. Same as last year, I will be hosting some tent activities. Thanks to your registrations last year, we were the fourth...

First of all, apologies for my delayed response. I was frantically trying to finish building my engine, get it installed, and then participate in the Hot Rod Power Tour. It turned out awesome! I even dynoed the 'ol girl while there too. I will start another thread today about the tent...

Hi Folks, Sorry, I am behind the 8 ball this year. I have been prepping my 70 Road Runner for the Hot Rod Power Tour, and built a new engine for it. For those who don't know me, I am very active on FBBO, but don't get much time to come over to FABO, FCBO and FEBO much. That doesn't mean that I...

May I humbly suggest you change it and make it FBBO instead? There is no FABO tent. So unless FABO folks decide to pay for one next year, listing your club affiliation as FABO helps no one. On the other hand, the FBBO tent ("club") was the fourth largest at Carlisle this year. That is thanks...

Right - the club affiliation has no effect on what group you chose to show your car in. I'm not sure there is a FABO tent. If a club has less than 25 registrants then you must pay for the tent if you want one. I paid for the FBBO tent the first few years until we got more than 25 members...

Well crap - I guess I screwed up one of the winners. I was trying to collect the winning raffles, but there was so much going on and some of them got mixed up. @pa340dart Thanks for letting me know, and my sincere apologies to you and the person whose name got misplaced! Regardless, I hope...

Thank you to those who stopped by and visited the tent! We even had a couple of A body winners in our raffle! Congratulations to @Dannydart340 and @pa340dart The nice thing is, due to the help from everyone, we ended up with a banner from Carlisle as the fourth largest club! That is...

2022 Chrysler Nationals FxBO Tent Activities First, the FBBO tent is located at spots IG1 - IG3. From a showfield parking perspective, this is the R127 area (B bodies) Friday: Noon to 1PM Bring your own lunch and hang out with other FxBO members. There will be water and beer available to drink...

ttt Please let me know if you plan to attend so I get a good count for food. Hope to meet some of you at Carlisle!

I've been involved with the tent for a number of years now - before we had to pay for it due to limited members signing up for it. This is my third year sponsoring food, but first time I have tried to reach out to the other FxBO groups to join in as one club. There is so much history of it not...

You and your family are invited! First, I apologize that I am late posting this information, but I have been on a two month cross country trip with my 73 Road Runner and just got back. I will be putting on a lunch picnic on Saturday, 16 July. The location will be the FBBO tent (see letter "L"...

Just a couple of quick updates: (1) I corresponded with Ed from the Carlisle Fairgrounds. The tent companies are short staffed, so they may be setting up tents and leaving them for all their shows, rather than taking them down and relocating/ setting them up again for the next show. This means...

A quick note as there was some confusion on the FCBO site. If you are willing to do this, you should NOT change the "Chrysler Classification" (class) that your car is in. That should be set as appropriate for your car. You car will be displayed and judged as appropriate. The only thing that...

Sorry we will miss you at Carlisle but glad you support the idea. By far, it seems the vast majority of us are very positive about sharing space and having a good time together. Most of us are Mopar lovers, regardless of it is a A, B, C or E bodies. Personally, I drool over late 60s Darts and...

So before I go on with too much about the tent I want to re-introduce myself. My name is Hawk, I am a member on FABO but I don't have an A body so don't post here much. I am very active at FBBO and involved with getting a tent for use at the Carlisle show. Some background: At FBBO we have been...

A couple of basics that many of you know, but some may not: Fuel does not "explode" in the combustion chamber, it burns. The burnt fuel creates gasses that take up more space and creates force that pushes down the piston. It takes some time for fuel to burn completely it is not an "instant...

Nicely bent and installed Wolfgang! I agree that line bending can go very well or really badly. As you stated, it takes time to make them right. Sometimes you can't test fit one bend at a time, so you have to bend the whole line and then see how you did. Sometimes that can mean trouble!

Superb work as always Wolfgang!
