I should be there again with The Colonel!!

Charger-Bodie · January 06, 2008, 11:46:49 AM

I will be there ! thats new cause Ive never been before!!

moparguy01 · January 06, 2008, 12:09:48 PM

maybe this year the supposed young gun winner wont have a 70 hemicuda. That's what always bugged me about that class, lots of younger guys build cars, but how do they compete with a car like that? no 17 year old has a hemicuda thats fully restored unless it was given to them (doubtful, but crazier things have happened I guess)

Bob · January 18, 2008, 09:33:59 AM

Yepper, I'll be there as usual.

The young guns is a new class at Carlisle this year.

TUFCAT · January 20, 2008, 03:36:27 PM

I will hopefully be there in the 1973 Charger, probably just for a day though.

69_500 · January 28, 2008, 06:15:04 PM

I'll be at Carlisle yet again this year. Maybe this time I'll even drive the Charger over. Doubt it, but always plan on it.

Where have I heard that before?

bordin34 · January 29, 2008, 09:54:29 PM

Is there any hotel that everybody is staying at?

69_500 · February 01, 2008, 05:12:45 PM

I think that you hear it every year. I know I was 90% sure I was going to drive the 500 over last year, but just couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm hoping to swap the rear end out here in a few weeks, which should make long trips much more enjoyable.

4aThrill · February 02, 2008, 02:30:05 PM

There's a Young Guns corner sweet,:punkrocka: It would be really something if I can bring her, but for now she is getting a full restore done, I am suppose to get her back in the April time frame.

The plan was to take her to this show, before I go past 25 this year but if not then defiantly the following year. I know taking her apart was easy, but putting her back together will be the real challenge, not to scratch the paint or making some type of mistake that will cost more.

I have been thinking of asking some car guys around work to help me out on weekends to get her back together for this car show. I know they would like to help out, but where the car is located will be a different story.

I have already two guys helping me out kind of. One guy he works the weekends but is off Thursday and Friday and the other guy is off the weekends but is going through rough times. So it's a fifty/fifty chance that I can get either of them helping on the car with me. In other words it will be slow process getting her back together but slow is good. If anyone does have some extra time and lives in the area I would really appreciate the help on getting her back together.

If I don't get her back together in time I am still going to the show there is no doubt in that.

The car is a 71 Charger 500, pretty much stock, but with some different features about her that so far everyone approves of.

I look forward to reading all of comments.

bordin34 · February 07, 2008, 06:43:39 PM

If I sign up for the young gun class, can I still register under the Dc.com name so it goes toward the tent or no. If my car has proven it's reliability by then I want to show it. See everybody at Carlisle.

You can register DC as your club, no matter what class you are in.

JimsSE · February 07, 2008, 10:20:15 PM

I'll be there on Saturday. Went on Sunday last year and didn't have enough time to really look around.

I still haven't taken either of my cars there yet. Does anyone just take theirs for one day and put them in the show? Or do you all take 'um for most of the weekend. I wouldn't mind going for the day but not sure I want to do the weekend.

I'm just about 2 hours away (Williamsport, Pa.).

Thoughts?

Jim

If you decided to go just 1 day. Go Sat. That's when the show field is judged and a lot more cars are there then on Friday.

JimsSE · February 07, 2008, 10:48:54 PM

Thanks Jackie,

Maybe I'll bring one down for the day. Probably the Magnum. Anyplace specific you all congregate?

Moparsue and I will be there...has anyone volunteered/been elected at tent Point of Contact (POC)? Tent is a MUST!

FLG · February 19, 2008, 02:20:08 PM

I'll be there, the 73 is in driver shape...so def not showing for awhile. But ill keep on eye on this thread about the tent.

1969chargerrtse · March 20, 2008, 06:36:15 PM

I'll be there as long as no rain is in site for the entire month and the humidity is low. I'm not crazy about hot sun on my baby either. I hope to go for an all day Saturday event and hook up with many of my wonderful forum friends. My car will be the lovely bright orange 69 RT/SE with a sign on it saying " Restoration in progress, DO NOT JUDGE!"

I don't need any outside persons judgement on my car. I know what it is inside and out and have no need for approval. Sorry been there done that in the mid 80's.

gtx6970 · March 22, 2008, 10:55:22 AM

Believe me, Carlisle is nothing like that. Bring your car, park in the fun field and relax and have fun. Nobody cares how correct your car is.

And the weather comment? Suck it up my friend, rain or shine you should be there.

I speak from experience. $:-\$

I can't, I can't do it. No No No. I'll most likely run down anyway to meet everyone ( we need to swap cell #'s ). But my Classic car in the rain.

$:-\$

I know, Chris has already called me a Woosh.

FLG · March 26, 2008, 12:26:16 AM

Oh come on, the cars seen worse then rain in its lifetime...and dont ya just love em wet?

Bring it bro, it gets wet when ya wash it...a little rain never hurt.

1969chargerrtse · March 26, 2008, 05:20:52 AM

I'm hearing ya and maybe by then I will (

) But this is coming from a guy that paid big bucks for his car, worked on it like crazy for the first month, then the motor went and has spent (10,000.000) plus restoring it for the last 6 months replacing chrome and clips,detailailing, repainting,

and then to take it on a 6 hour round trip in the rain through N.Y city ( sorry Chris )? No no no no. Dear God no. Surly you understand? I would like to see others respond if they would, or would not take their car to a show if they knew they would be driving in the dirty dirty rain? Just curious. I know one important person on this site with a sweet restored Charger that told me , NO.

( Update, and he has posted right after me )

Charger-Bodie · March 26, 2008, 07:21:55 AM

Its not the rain , its all the dirty slop that it throws up into EVERY nook and cranny posible.

Been there done that!!...... wasnt a fun week after that cleaning and cleaning.

69_500 · March 26, 2008, 06:17:59 PM

Swapping rear ends this weekend in the Charger 500, and making plans already to drive the 500 over to Carlisle this year. So yes, there are some of us who would make the drive rain or shine in a Classic Charger. Not sure on the total mileage, but if I remember right it is around 500 miles one way to Carlisle for me from here in Indianapolis. Thats what these cars were made for, DRIVING.

Yes you are right. they were made for DRIVING. But the statute of limitations has run out. After 25 years they are to be HONERED, and only driven on warm partly sunny dry days. Didn't anyone tell you that? After all the work and detailing I put into your center grille, do you really want me to go through rain sleet and snow with it? Do you?

I thought not.

69_500 · March 29, 2008, 08:49:12 AM

Actually yes. I would. That is just me though. They can all be cleaned up after they get a little dirty.

That's the spirit Danny. These rookies with their Chargers do not realize that they don't melt in the rain. Maybe one day they will, but for now, we just have to let them be rookies. It's all good...that just means they should have more beer stuffed in the trunk of their soccer mom van they drive instead.

71ChallengeHer · March 29, 2008, 07:29:22 PM

I drive the Chally in the rain. It won't melt.

Hey, just trying keep the shiny side shiny.

69_500 · March 30, 2008, 01:10:10 PM

Nothing that a few hours of good cleaning won't just shine right back up. Then again I'll admit my car is far from being a show car. So its more apt to being driven on the roads. It is after all a 40 year old car(will be 40 this year), wearing 36 year old paint, and motor that could probably use a good rebuild. But for now, its all good to just hop in and cruise.

Looking forward to meeting you. It's nice to have a driver. I take mine as a real nice driver also. I'll go down if it's not raining, if it is, I'll try Sunday. If I see it may rain the weekend, I'll take work off and go down on a week day and see who I can find. We need to swap cell #'s by then. It's a big place.

I'm driving rain or shine. Since my orange 69 is done, I'll just have to plan on being able to hit a gas station every hundred miles or so.

TripleBlackGator · April 16, 2008, 07:51:08 PM

I didn't look through ALL the posts so this may be posted elsewhere but this year is the "First ever" Engine Giveaway. It's a 505 Stroker Wedge with Aluminum heads. I would rather have that than any of the cars they gave away in the past decade!

Just 6T9 CHGR · April 17, 2008, 08:27:10 PM

I absolutely agree! I just got the flyer today in the mail....Ill be pre registering tonight as well

I am driving the Satellite, well the RunnerLite as it will be. I am in between cloning but IO do not care. I am going t drive it anyway.
I want to bring the Charger but I have a 5 HR drive and the Satellite has the 318 with the highway gears.

I figure alot of guys are gonna be there in July more then now...Im going up this friday night and staying till saturday evening.

chargerkid01 · April 25, 2008, 08:08:24 AM

I'd love to go but money is tight. there is no way mine will be done for the show

TripleBlackGator · April 25, 2008, 11:18:59 AM

I am going Saturday (This weekend) but only looking for tools, equipment, and toys. Looking for Mopar items during the Spring, Summer, Fall Carlilse shows is like looking for a needle in a haystack!

OK, I've been through about 27 Carlisle-related threads now, can't figure out which one is the "official" thread(didn't find any sticky threads....). Is there a DC.com tent and if so, WHERE? Can I buy T-shirts there?

Thanks!

I'll be in the swamp meet if anyone needs me. M-179-182

I was wondering if anyone would catch that one!

If the weather is anything like it's been here in central NC lately, it WILL be a swamp. LOL
