Looks like a party

Don't know if I'll have a tranny to do, but I'm in for the eating, drinking and stories

Jakes in great, but I guess we'll see who steps up to the plate with a shop

Where in the Pacific North West?

Last time was just north of Portland in Battlefield, WA.

You know... where you visit to breath air that doesn't smell

I'm in and could offer my place to hold it. I don't think my set-up is as good as Jake's, but I think it would work. I'm in Renton, a short way off I405.

We can keep that in mind. There is also Mr. 242's place, supposedly. I am not worried about a venue, just what dates. Once we commit to dates, I can collect fees, buy tickets, and start to get parts together. The sooner the better since I am going to do 3 of these and that will clean out some used parts stores. I am hoping to get some parts at Hershey in April, too.

Dr. Evil,
Would love to meet you and see what goes on in the transmission also. Don't need a rebuild right now, so does it cost to just come and be a lookie loo? I could maybe help others if needed.
Just wondering,
Tom

Watchers are free. I posted in in the first post, too

More info:

I will always advise a look-see inside the box. If anyone brings a box that doesnt need a rebuild (not happened yet that I remember), pay for a seal kit, reseal the box, and take back your $300 No need to pay if you dont need to build. Right?

I'm in for May. I have two boxes that are both in need of work.

Cheers,

Eddie

Jakeodoule Is in Battleground.

Here is what he said in your initial feeler request

It's not my place, but 6Freak said he can host.

Dr.Evil wanted to spend some time in Seattle and I have offered up the Beach house for him and his wife to enjoy while here.

John's was great; just 2 hours away from Seattle for Dr. Evil and the Beach house.

I'll bring BBQ if people are interested in chippin in for a meal and I will que it up; it's a PNW Teener thing.

Mark made some insane food last time! I think we have to have it at Johns, then afterward, Noel and I will stick around the area for a few days and do some sight seeing. We will be in touch, Mark

Oysters!

Oysters and now my new thing......competition BBQ Ribs and Pulled Pork! Pretty darn good, but need to guage interest to see if people want to chip in some money for a meal. Meat is not free.

Ya, and I hear you cant beat your meat

Two things I love, oysters and competition BBQ. You may be reason enough to move out there when I am done here

Mark, You popped my "non-oyster" eating cherry self! They were great! Oh and Billy's Atomic Turds were good too! Can't forget about Johns waffles for breakfast! It was a great time and great company! I will go either place to hang out with you all. I will bring my new big bottles of Vodka and Brandy. Jamie can bring his Cherry Pepsi and all will be right with the universe!

Does anyone have a extra sideshifter I can buy for this build? I like having extra's sitting on my shelf! PM me if you do, 73' preferable.

I'm in for a rebuild Herr Doctor!


I'll chip in for some ribs and oysters!

I'm interested as I couldn't make the first one out here. Have two boxes that are unknowns. Have new intermediate plate and diff covers that need to be released from thier cardboard box incarceration

The best time for me would be the 7th and 8th since I can then just relax and tour with the missus. So, these are now the dates. As soon as I hear back from John, it is on. We have 2 standby venues as well so be assured this will happen!

The Atomic Turds were from Todd

I'd love to show up and meet and greet. Don't have any tranny problems to resolve. Need another core tranny? It's just sitting there and it'd be better to give it to a good home than try and sell it in this town

In, hope that nothing work related comes up, I assume my tranny needs a rebuild (didn't drive the car so far ) since the car was stored for more than 20 years.

I've got an extra sideshift Drew no problem.

I will bring 2 to rebuild myself.

I was also hoping to bring one that the good DR might rebuild as a prize for WCR?

Oops! Sorry Todd. That's right, Billy brought the Rootbeer ribs! Oh man I'm having flashbacks of the Trans oil smell, The drinking and the guitar playing next to the bonfire!


I love you guys!

Oh hell yeah! Brilliant Jamie! Your the man!

Cool, Thanks Jamie PM me for the bill.

Rohar, bring it with you, We all will need the parts! I did last time.

I think you mean Battleground, WA.. All good just a heads up.. I was just living up that way and do need to go back up there to finish up or live again..

Hell ya! If you spot me some parts, it is a deal. I dont see an issue and it saves on shipping

I am in when it comes to Stockton! I think there are at least 3 people who are in within 8 blocks of my house!

Jeff, see the Stockton thread

I will bring the tranny for the WCR rebuild, my 2 tranny's I will rebuild (& yes I will keep the parts seperate this time ) plus at least 2 tailshifts for parts. I also have a tub with misc gears/ parts from last time. We should have no problem having used parts for use

NP. It's a tail shifter, but there's gotta be some good parts in there right? All I ask is you guys leave the tranny on the Dodge alone!

I don't know if you guys are interested but I can ask my brother if we can use his shop in North Seattle. It is a full shop with many lifts and one of the mechanics in a big 914 wrench. I could also talk to Dave at Triad and see if he wants to hold it there. Let me know if you want me to look into these. I can say that I know one of these will work for sure but if you have a site picked out cool.

Mike, you and your wife are invited to stay at my parents house for a day or two while up here as well. They live right on the bluff looking over the water in Mukilteo. They are used to visitors and they will likely be up at their cabin anyway.

Optimal would be John's, but we shall see. Those places seem nice

Maybe have to take you up on Mukilteo.

What would it take to get you to hold this in the Seattle area? I could bring pig and a smoker!

/I can write the trip off if I spend a day in the Bellevue office.

you can google map:

4619 Baker Dr.
Everett, WA 98203

Yeah, I know, I said Mukilteo but the address says Everett. It's a technicality

The shop in North Seattle is on 79th and Greenwood. 7900 Greenwood Ave N. I will check with Matt tomorrow to see how he feels about it.

Ya last one at Johns was the bomb!
Like Jamie Ive been hording 901's
At least 4 (pair side, pair tail) so spares galore!

Dont forget the cee-gars!

Generally speaking, people tend to need 2 bands, 2 sets of teeth, and seal kit (I can get for you) at the minimum. Often the lower intermediate plate bearing is needed. This is the typical. If you buy new vs used the prices vary a lot. If you buy used from me at/for the clinic I always cut you a price break (not looking to jack the price up once I have you in need). Feel free to contact me fro pricing and purchasing. You are welcome to buy now when you pay for your tuition. I have limited qty of used stuff and it will be getting less at time and clinics move on. I will try to replenish, but can not promise. Prices for new are changing constantly as well. I can get new for wholesale for ya, but on many parts I would recommend used as they are not inferior and are cheaper.

DR. EVIL....stay where you want and I will gladly grab you a bucket of oysters* so you may partake where ever your head my rest! (*User assumes ALL liability of fertility issues and anything lasting longer than 4 hrs)

Oh Mr. Crandel! You've been a bad boy!

So many holes, so little time....

Just heard from John, those dates wont work for him. So, one of the other venues will have to work. Let me read the thread and list them so I can debate what one will work best.

Places that have accommodations for me and the missus to stay, a place to cook/eat, beer fridge/cooler, place for bonfire and drinking with get top vote

Doc, Is there a size on those large retainer ring pliers? Or are they just Big Fuching Pliers?

I'll keep my eyes on this thread, whenever it is, I'll make it.

Sorry fella's.
Wish I could host this party again. It was a blast.

Okay Mike, the shop in Seattle is out due to my brother not knowing if there will be enough space and the good ol liability deal. However, Dave, the owner of Triad is situated in Lacey and says he would welcome the clinic at his shop. He has a few spare boxes there as well.

Hey Doc, You can have all that at my place but I'm way off the beaten path on the Olympic Peninsula, 15 mi before Sequim. There is also a nice Casino 5 mi down the road.

I'm interested in your class, if it's closer to Seattle or in my Garage

The people decide. Crandle's house is in the mix as well. Where will people go?

Tony lives in a beautiful area but it is a ways out of the way. Crandall lives in a easy place to go and is in the middle. Triad is a bit closer to Oregon for the Oregonians that would like to come and has a nice shop.

I down for all of the above
