Here's another show in PA.

Just an FYI to whoever goes, last year it was very cold, so plan on dressing up warm.

Hey - I'm puttin' it in my calendar!

By the way, not to be a smartass, but here's the address with the correct spelling:

1333 S Prospect St
Nanticoke, PA 18634-3814

Normally I wouldn't make a big deal of it, but it's for people that need to MapQuest the directions.

Raph

I didn't even notice that. I just copied it from their site. Good looking out tho because my navigation would have went nuts. Hope to see you there.

Yeah, I plan to be there. Besides, I wanna check out your sound system! I'm just about done with my exterior upgrades, and I'm looking to start tricking out the inside.

Are you entering the truck into the show?

<gulp> Uh...I hadn't even thought of that. You guys think I should give it a shot? Anyway, I have an issue right now with my cooling system, most likely the water pump...but I'm posting that on another thread.

You should enter your truck. It's alot of fun entering into a show. Don't even stress about winning, just have your truck clean and thats it.

Ya know, I just might give it a shot!

Sweet!

Bump

going to a show is and putting your truck in the show whether win or lose is just to have fun plus you have your vehicle there with you so you don't have to worry about parking lol and plus don't have to worry about people breaking into it at all cause your there with it at the show just make sure like was said before you have it clean and that increases your chances at least and also have a good display like oil water and gas cans out on display plus an emergency roadside kit out you will see when you go to a show your first is always an experience then when you meet people and learn about showing your next one you will know what it takes to win! but i like to show just for the fun i enjoy just going.:D

Yep make sure your truck is clean inside and out. Make sure to clean the wheel wells as well. Would hurt to clean the dust and dirt under the hood as well. Some shows require you to open the hood so they can see if you clean your motor. Also a good tip ata show is never leave your windows open if you plan on walking around to see the other vehicles in the show. It's not the people in the show you have to worry about, it's the people that are spectators at the show you need to worry about. I have been to a ton of shows and never ever had a problem. But some of my friends has some minor issues, but it was their own fault.

yea when you go look around try and see where the judges are at in judging cause then once your vehicle is judged you can close it up but during judging you want to have it opened up plus so you know your judged on a point system so haveing a display haveing the vehicle opened up all the way doors hood rear hatch the works also if you have a wheel pulled and your vehicle set on a painted or chrome stand that adds points too but make sure its spotless everywhere you have visisble that way you get as many points as possible. good luck to you don't stress about it just go have fun

Exactly just go and have fun. I'm just going to clean the truck on friday (as long it doesn't rain) that way saturday all I have to do is spot clean it.

Bad news, Buds!

My mechanic still hasn't finished the work on my cooling system. He's been working part-time on my truck, because he recently was hired working at a shop 150 miles away. However, since he started working on my truck before he took the job, he did fully commit to finishing the work and doing a good job of it. The down side is that it's taking a lot longer.

He says it should be done by this weekend, but that probably also means I'll miss Droptoberfest.Bummer! [:@]

On the upside,I had some free time on my hands on Sunday, so I shaved off all the emblems. LOL

was it faded bad? I took the 'chevrolet' off the back of my red 98 and it was really faded. when the sun is at just the right angle you can clearly read chevrolet. I don't know if I should take 'blazer' off or not

It depends on how faded the paint is on your truck. On mine, the emblems on thedoors (including the "LS" badges) all came off clean. It was the ones on the back that gave me a little hassle. It looked like they used a different type of glue on the back left side one, because itwas hellcleaning it off. The back right side one they slapped on before the paint dried, so there is a little warping of the paint. Not noticeable from a distance, but just enough to annoy me.

I can't do it at all on my wife's Jimmy, because the emblems are actually embedded into the body kit. I think her truck looks better with the emblems anyway.

The day before I removed the badges, we went up to PA for a haunted house thing. At a convenience store, an S-10 pickup pulled up next to us that was the same color as my Blazer, except it had a two-tone, horizontal fade-red-to-black paint job. It dawned on me that that kind of paint scheme would look SICK on my Blazer. If I can PhotoShop it, I'll post a pic later.

Whether I get the full paint job or not, I've decided toshave the rear windshield wiper, since it's an eyesore that I never use anyway. I'll remove the wiper, then have a shop fill in the holes and do a full repaint of the hatch.

Sucks that you might not be able to go to the show. Two tone paint jobs always look good if you find the right color combo. My buddie just shaved off his rear wiper on his Xtreme Blazer. I thought about doing it to mine, but I actually use mine when I need to see whats behind me in the rain. Also its great to clean off snow build up when driving. Hey if you even plan on lowering your blazer 2", let me know I have everything you need brand new.

My rear wiper stopped working a long time ago. I made one failed attempt to fix it, then realized it just wasn't worth it. So far it hasn't hampered my vision, so I'm getting rid of it. (But I may keep the washer on there, just so my truck can keep peeing on people.)

As for lowering -- thanks for the offer. However, I don't have any lifting or lowering in my plans. The only thing I'd do is lift, 'cause it's a 4x4.

Well if you don't have your truck on saturday, you should still stop by the show and check it out. I'm just praying it doesn't rain.

Yeah, I'm debating between still going to the show in my rental car or playing softball with some friends on the eastern shore. Might be my last chance to do either this year. LOL

Too far for me. Plus ride is going into storage soon.:D

That's awesome! Can't wait to see the pix! And hey, we can still hang out some time. We don't live that far from each other.

I'm uploading the pics now on photobucket. So hopefully within the next hour I will have them up.
