1959Fury - 2007-11-11 8:19 PM Jay? Any way you'd consider a fellow Arizonan hitching a lift with you for the Vegas reunion? Split expenses and all that? I don't see a problem with that Mark. I'm hoping my CRL will be done enough for the trip. Have to check with the boss, but I don't think she'll want to go.
Alright!!!!! If I won't be intruding on your family time, I'm in!!!!!
Wow, I didn't know that the '56 was that far along yet! In that case, I'll definitely break out my fedora for the trip. 
Gotta tell you that I'm no mechanic by any stretch of the imagination, so I hope you have AAA or the like handy. Won't be able to chip in much outside of gas, split of hotel rooms, meals and that, but I won't cause any expense - outside of slightly worse gas mileage hauling my 6' 4" 245 pound butt up there & back. I know it's not like a cross-country trek or anything, but I can also pitch in with driving if you want. |

Vegas would be a fun place---but lets face it , ANYWHERE we can get together with our cars ( the more the merrier) is gonna be a blast--Even a Hotel parking lot! The problem I see with Vegas, is the distance for the folks on the East side.............................................MO
Yeah, VEGAS sounds wonderful, but I'm afraid it would be too much of a stretch for my crew (not to mention any of my ForwardLook cars).
TULSA was just about the limit for driving to a car show, and flying into sin city wouldn't be nearly as much fun.
Of course, if I can't make it... I'm sure it won't really hurt anyone's feelings.
More central US would be better for peeps like myself on the eastern side of the country.
Topeka, Kansas looks like a best bet for EXACT CENTRAL U.S.... But what's there for car people???
Branson, Missouri and '57 Heaven would be IDEAL in my opinion.
Just a suggestion.
(Of course, Clive & Charlie will chime in here with "If we can flyacross the OCEAN, you can DRIVE to Vegas!... Yadda, Yadda, Blah-Blah & So Forth...)

Location: Hell's Outhouse - a.k.a. Buckeye, Arizona | Shoot Nathan, folks like John (Big M in his '57 Fury) drove all the way from the left coast for Tulsa - I'm sure you, still being a good deal west of the east coast, could slide over to Vegas given the time (next summer) between now and the reunion to prepare.
Then again, I'm hitching a ride. Which car would you take & exactly how far away is it from being set for a road trip? |

Jim had irreconcilable scheduling conflicts, and couldn't attend Tulsa, but, he HAS dead-serious about shipping it here
and driving it here, from Europe.
Maybe Jim can talk "Leif" Plester (of Fin-land) into driving one of his 57 Dodges to Vegas!

Crap! I lost a CD I engineered with a bunch of my old rock & roll/R&B 78's - yes, you read that right: not 45's, but 78's - featuring, among others, Dale Hawkins, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Red Prysock, Amos Milburn, Calvin Boze and Little Willie John. ZERO schmaltz. Still have the records and the turntable, but not the cartridge or the component CD burner.
Was gonna bring it along for the trip.  I'll see what I can dig up - you dig hard driving, no BS big band swing? |

I'd think the off-season is in the summer, Neil - probably starting in May and lasting 'til around October. The climate is similar to where I am (desert) and those are the deadest months here. |

Jay, you think the '56 might be road worthy enough to make a 450-500 mile trek by then? I mean, even the mountainous part (just this side of Sedona to just outside of Flagstaff) is all interstate (I-17)..... |

How many of us will be traveling beyond the 50 mile rule? (just kidding guys, don't start panting yet!) Mark, I don't see why my car couldn't be ready by then. It may have upholstery thats not great, but mechanically, the motor rebuild should be done as well as brakes, tires, a/c, etc. If the tranny needs a rebuild that may delay things but I'm hoping its okay. It was rebuilt in 1987. I'm stripping the body down right now and just need to get some body work done and a rocker replaced, and she'll be ready for paint. Of course, I'll always take anybody's help or just BS if they want to come over to my place! Haven't found any garage buddies around here yet. |

Location: bishop, ca | It would be nice if we could get some SoCal boys to show up, in Vegas, too, and some PacNorwesters.
If they're afraid to drive their cars [DARE], they could fly to town, and rent a car, or take public transportation.
Maybe we could arrange to spend 4 nites there; any less and the event would be too short of a stay.
And, there is a LOT to see & do, in Vegas area.
The 5 nites in Tulsa went by REAL fast.

I DO like the idea of getting a hotel in the Glitter Gulch area, as opposed to the newer fancier areas of The Strip.
Just a reminder to people who haven't been here in years, the western end of Fremont Street to about Fourth Street is now a pedestrian mall with a canopy.
No more cruising Glitter Gulch.

Because of the crime on eastern Fremont Street (Dope dealing, prostitution, etc.), security on the eastern section of Glitter Gulch is pretty tight.

They have a NICE airport, there, folks! And, you can't get lost (although avoiding gridlock will involve AVOIDING Las Vegas Blvd!!!!)
Paradise Road for heading north (actually Swenson between Tropicana and Harmon) or the 215 tunnel for east or west, and you should be fine.
Crossing the Strip on Trop or Flamingo isn't bad during "off" periods.
A "locals' trick":
Take Paradise south to Sunset, Sunset west to Las Vegas Boulevard, north on Las Vegas Boulevard to Russell and west on Russell to Decatur to avoid the really heavy Las Vegas Boulevard traffic between Tropicana and Downtown.
If you're heading east, Sunset, Russell or Tropicana works well during non-rush hour times, if you prefer surface streets to the 215.
If you are staying at a Strip resort, don't let a cabbie "tunnel" you, i.e., take you through the 215 tunnel allegedly to save time, but runs up the meter as it is a round about way to Las Vegas Boulevard.
I-15 works quite well for north-south travel, but getting to it from east of the Strip can be daunting....

A halfway decent bar might be another story.....
Nah, if we could end up splitting a $100 room ($50 a piece) for 5 days, I think I could swing it. Split the gas - or, say, if you cover the gas, I'll cover the eats - and alternate on the bar tabs. Either way, nothing too awful expensive, yet I'd prefer not to room in an establishment that rents their rooms by the hour..... |

I went through much of that wagon back in the mid to late eighties. The paint is weathered and it has a few scars from parking lot encounters, but it looked good for quite a while:
http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/photos/photo-thumbnails.asp?album...
Suspension, brakes and driveline all freshened up. I can't afford a repaint any time soon as I plan to finish the V-8 conversion (including installing torsion bars from a car that had a 361), replacing the clear glass with Solex and adding A/C. I also have a rear disk brake kit to supplement the front disks I added, but I am not sure if I'm adding overdrive or not.
Rick ('Can Man) is selling his '58 Plymouth convertible and if he no longer wants my (long ago scrapped) '68 Charger R/T's Dana 60 (3.54 gears), I may freshen the Dana up, relocate the spring perches and use that in place of the stock differential with its 3.73 gears.
Rick was going to use the Dana in his convertible and was going to trade some parts with me.
Or perhaps someday, if I install a B/RB engine in my '59 two door wagon, I could use the Charger R/T's 18 spline A-833 and the Dana and have me a stock looking sleeper, which I would paint two tone '59 green.
Now that would be a car I'd like to bring to a Forward Look get-together!

Step 1 is finding a hotel-venue & deciding on a week-date; I suggest the week of 6/15, as that time frame was 'good', with all the Tulsa attendees.

Thanks, Jimmy. Actually, the wagon is pretty well known in both Spring Valley and the western area of the city. People on this side of town are used to seeing it....
There used to be a yellow and white '56 Dodge (six-stick) sedan that was used as a daily driver. Same thing....he drove it so much, it sort of "blended in" after a while. The guy moved to Southern Utah and took it with him.

Location: bishop, ca | There are casinos which are a-ways away from the Main-drag/Vegas-strip, but, just as for staying in Stroud, OK, in 2007,
the ACTION/fun will be within walking/mono-rail/tramline/bus/cab distance FROM the casino, instead of having to drive into/
out-of Vegas, with parking-traffic hassles, etcetcetcetc/inebriation.......
It is a HOOT, to be able to walk/stumble up to your room, at the end of a late-night's festivities, and, as charming as Boom-Town
casino might be, 10 miles off of the strip, the real fun is going to be at the epicenter of the weirdness, not just in Gambling
which can be easily-enuf done at Boom-Town (or in any grocery store, or even @ the airport--if you're just into slot machines).
I happen to think that Glitter Gulch would provide more of an old-school Mardi Gras environment, and might be easier to drive-to,
than the Big Palaces would be, farther down on the Strip (which are easily-enuf accessed by public transport.
Sooo, let's get this dog-and-auto show on ROAD!

| I vote that we ALL pile-in at KennyJ.'s place for the weekend!!!!!
The way I see it, about 5 couples could share the Imperial... and another 3 couples or so could stay in the blue wagon...
Two or three more couples in the pickup, and Charlie & Clive can have the parts wagon all to themselves.
Anyone that's left can crash in Kenny's house... There's gotta be room for more there!
(See, this way... When we're all GONE again, Kenny can have the satisfaction of his house seeming MUCH bigger. Everybody Wins!)
Seriously, though... This does sound like a good time.
If I get the chance to make it out for this one, I'd vote for earlier in the month of June, or pehaps late May.
Maybe we can get a poll started for the best weekend... I missed my local club's show for Tulsa this year, and I might be black-balled if I ditch 'em for another road trip during show time.

or NONE and to allow us to EXCLUDE any dates where we know that we would be unable to attend!
Um... Yeah....
You must be one of those complicated types, Neil!
I have posted a poll here on the forum. If I've left anything out (shoe size, blood type, whatever), YOU can add your own options, too.
Details, Details, Details... You must be in insurance or something! Ha!

Location: Heaven Above (Formerly Oklahoma City,OK) | Is anyone keeping a head count on this proposed Ree-union? From the level of enthusiasim (sp?) I'm reading it sounds like a blast. Only there are a couple of glitches. I could not make it to Tulsa ( but was there today!) for the Tulsarama. But I would like to be able to put faces and cars with the names I keep seeing on this site. The second is that the '55 RL probably will not yet be driveable in 06/08, and I'll have to haul ole whatsername in the '38 D8, and it don't have no fins on it. But it does have a 318/727 and a/c. Bsides, she wants to go to Fairbanks,AK nest summer, an' I don' wanna. |

Location: Scottsdale, AZ | I'm using a 15 room/car figure right now trying to get some room rates and such. I think once we get feedback from Nathan's poll, we can start to get things a little more formalized. |

Glitter Gulch is now pedestrian mall. You can't cruise it anymore.

Location: bishop, ca | I meant "metaphorically" !!! As in cruise-the-area (on foot/public transport), which is the best way to get around The Strip.
There must be a neat hotel/casino in the immediate area---the Gulch has an overhead neon/strobe light-show which attracts the
rubes (I mean: TOURISTS!) to the old-school casinos in the vicinity; but, HEY: the Belagio's probably available (but, WAY too
dull, & formal, for me; I like the Il Fornaio restaurant, & Harry's Bar, @ New York, New York casino!)

Location: Scottsdale, AZ | d500neil - 2007-11-19 4:15 PM Where, Jay, WHERE?????? I am getting some quotes from the California, Las Vegas Club (thats a last resort, unless they fixed the sewage smell inside!), Union Plaza, Fremont, and can't remember the 5th one, but I should have emails all back by tomorrow. The problem is not all hotels have onsite parking, so you have to park in a structure away from the hotel. I know the Union Plaza and the Las Vegas Club have parking at the hotel. I know the head of security at the Union Plaza, which could probably guarantee decent security for our cars. I have requested that our cars be allowed to park in a group, so we'll have to wait and see what they say. I'm still waiting to hear back from another guy I know out there in the gaming industry, hopefully will get ot talk to him tomorrow as well. I'm hoping he isn't pissed that I missed his Wine Lounge VIP Opening Night last Thursday, but my client couldn't make it and it was his helicopter we were going to fly to Henderson. |
