Luncheon/Tech Day Pictures.

Dicktator · 01-29-2012, 03:03 PM

What a Great Turn out!!. Can't Thank Pete/Linda enough for their Hospitality.

They had the Best Room Rates in town and the food was good too.

Rusty and Jolie were spectacular as always. Most the guys are envious of Rusty's Garage. Boy, he has everything.

Their Drive is large and circles in front of the house. We had six on one side where the drive was level to do Radiator Supports, Frame Stiffeners and Fans. The other side of the circle we had 5 for Muth Mirrors, Soundproofing, Ignitions switch and third blinking brake light.

We started at 8:30am and were all done before 2:30pm. Everyone was swinging tools.

MY special Thanks to Alex, -Largossr05, Dan Schultz, Gary -Medcalf,glmssr04, Jeff Hanover,-Jeffdbfl.

And Special Thanks to Art Bonadies,- abonadies, and Marty -Phantomguy, Dan Schultz, who will be able to do Tech Days on the East Coast for the Florida Chapter. They are GOOD!!

Went to have picture taken by the water. Art Bonadies or Pete parked us in a NO PARKING ZONE.

YUP!! The POLICE came and said "SCRAM" or get tickets.

Thanks Art and Pete, that could have been fun all of us in jail.

We made it out with the Police following to make sure.

I couldn't have said it better so I agree with everything Scott said..

Dicktator · 01-30-2012, 06:07 AM

I want to apologize to Walter, tinyssnowplows for not bringing a radiator support for his SSR on Tech Day.

I thought he already HAD one and wanted us to install, he didn't and we didn't install.

Sorry, Walter.

Unreal: I'm glad I flew down to this Tech/Luncheon event, it was unreal.
Never seen so many SSr's with hoods up, jacked up, and doors wide open.
There were air guns, hammers, screwdrivers, prybars, jacks, drills and jackstands everywere. And the best thing, if you had a problem someone was
right there to help you with whatever you were doing.
A big thanks to ALL that were involved in getting this together[ IT WAS GREAT] YO Pete and Linda

and Rusty and Jolie

And I'll bet that Dick gets better MPG going home because he was loaded
down with parts on the way over.

Thanks again,
Aqua2005 [Gary]

I know some were concerned that the "old man" was getting tired on Saturday.

Well, he was, but I am home, rested up, almost and ready to do it again.

I went to Jeremy's today to meet a Newbie, Cleve and his wife, from Orlando. Cleve had his RED SSR tuned and he has a "permagrin". They will join us in Daytona.

Just emailed some "roof latch micro switch" pictures to another Newbie in Naples. He was given my card by someone who attended Rusty/Jolie Tech Day.

YOU, the Florida Chapter SSR Fanatics are my friends and part of my family. You keep the "old man" young.

I Thank you for that.

phantomguy · 01-30-2012, 05:31 PM

We would not be the Florida Chapter without your leadership Dicktator. Of course this is my opinion, but I'm sure that there are many that would agree.

I thought we had a very good tech day for all that showed. There was a lot of work to get done, and not nearly enough time to do it. For those who worked thank you for your help. For those who observed I hope you learned something and will pass it on.

I would like to thank Rusty and Jolie, Pete and Linda for opening their homes and allowing this to happen. I'm sure it was fun for all.

Special thanks to Pete, Rusty, Dicktator, and their better halves for their willingness to give us the luncheon/tech day we enjoyed.

I wish I had some pics to post but was to busy to take any.

Phantomguy

P.S Dicktator, Me, Art, and SSRBOOK want to get our trucks tuned by Jeremy, what the best way to do it?

No problem Dick, the old one is still good. Walter

Kathjim · 01-31-2012, 02:34 AM

Our thanks to all, also. It was great to see the Fanatics from Michigan that we met at the Woodward dream cruise. Jim & Kathy

Yes we agree. Dicktator is the glue that holds us together. Florida rocks!!!

It was great to see everyone and work and play together. As I said before, if you post it, they will come.

You don't have to ask us Snowbirds twice, especially this time of year!

Just got back to Miami and the R handled great. With the new soundproofing the ride was quieter.

Thanks to Rusty & Jolie for open their house and garages for us to work on our Rs and Pete & Linda as additional hosts.

As always a special thanks to Dicktator for getting this all together and the work he continues to do on the trucks.

One more thanks to Alex & Marty for doing the framebrace while I was working else where.

See you all in Daytona.

Glenn

As already stated by so many, thanks to all the family members for putting this event together; I had a great time and really enjoyed meeting members I had never met in person and of course spending time with old friends.
