Mom promised that she would do her best to be good and not be in the Hospital the weekend of June 3rd (gotta love her ) so I can attend the swap meet.
I know Hershey is the big swap for us mid west / east coasters, but anyone planning on hitting Stoddard also? Since I can't make Hershey I will be bringing my usual hoard of parts and stuff to Stoddard.
I will miss Hershey as well. But I will be up and running in time for this. So yeah I'll be going there.
As of this writing I plan on being there driving my newly rebuilt "Barn Find" 74 2L.
The car even have some parts on it I bought from you !!!
Looking for an original good steel wheel to use as a basis for my spare. Do you have one ??? I'll have a list with me of other needed small parts to finish this project.
Hope to see you there
Missing Hersey this year also, but hope to see you at Stoddards
I plan on going
Maybe???

I missed Hershey but I'm driving up from Atlanta for it.
And looking for a nice early top and a good set of steel rocker panels (outside).
I am planning to go and even drive my recently completed 914-6 conversion since it is only an hour from where I live.

Still planning on attending, although I'll probably drive the 997. Hoping to see some members there.
Just finished stuffing gift bags, hope everyone stops by for FREE stuff.

Going to Stoddard on Sat but didn't know what car I was going to drive. Thanks to Dr Evil was able to relieve the tranny of it hypoid gear noise issue on Tuesday. Put her back together on Wed finishing up today. Had to obtain 2 CV joint gaskets and my network came through. Took her and my wife for a 35 mile freeway drive with speeds up to 70 MPH. Remember new motor break in required.
Will drive the 914, Project Scarecrow, to Stoddard on Sat. First extended drive of 1 and half hours each way required. Lets hope I put her back together correctly. Pray for no rain until late evening.
Hope to meet up with other World Members and my NORPCA brethren. I'm the grey haired Guy with the 914 shirt on.
Here's a pic of the 914 after her drive today. First time to stretch her legs in over 23 years. What fun. Sexy too ...........
Just waiting for Brad to get here and we can load his stuff and hit the road. We will east bound and down........ See ya tomorrow.............

Good to see all of you guys there! It was well worth the drive up. Scored some deals, got into my Porsche groove, saw some vendor/friends and made some new ones (Check out Ranger's bushings in the vendors section).
Nice to see everyone again. Had a fun time, sold some parts, made some $$ and this happened also. On Friday night Brad and I hit a dead deer in the middle of the lane on the Ohio turn pike. We had no time to serve and miss it. No damage to the truck, but my trailer didn't fair so well. Knocked out a rear running light and bunt the rear lip out. The big damage was to the right side it broke the shackle and looks like the mount is tweaked a little. So looks like I get to do some on the trailer this week.
Oh and yes that is dear guts on the front axle

Great swap meet and it was nice to finally meet some 914 World members. Some of which only live a few miles away.
I even drove the 914 to it (first 120 mi. drive) and it made it there and back to Canton without any issues. I got way too much sun though and now realize sun screen in the car is a must! Wife called me Tonto all weekend.

Had a great time at Stoddard swap meet and the driving to and fro was a blast. 220 miles of 914 driving the first extended trip in over 25 years. Car ran great. Saw a number of new and old friends all associated through the Porsche mark.
Garrold I will be needing those top parts you inadvertently left back on your bench at home. Also looking for the facia plastic for the console heater blower. Thought maybe the new MI car could provide one. Won't be needing that spare wheel as I scored one thorough a new/old friend and it was close to my car. Will PM you later today.
Sorry about the problems you encountered along the way. Damn deer are everywhere and a nuisance !!
