From the Charger Meet we
went to the El Dorado Open Car Show until it was time to cruise over to the
StarVu Drive-In Theatre. The movies
that were shown were “CARS’ and “Talladega Nights”. Once again we overwhelmed
the owner of the drive in. The owner wanted to pass along a “Thank you all”
that made it to the movies.
All Dodge Charger Weekend
September 15 & 16, 2007
The 10th Annual
All Dodge Charger Weekend will be one of best meets. If you have never attended
one of the Charger Meets this will be the one you will want to attend, or if
its been a while since you have been to a Charger meet you’ll want to make it
to this one. If you have been to every one of the meets you do not want to miss
this one. First we start off with Friday night’s informal gathering at the host
motel. Saturday at 9:00 A.M. we kick off the Charger Meet with swap meet/car
corral area at the Kansas Oil Museum. At 4:30 we will joining the El Dorado Open
Car Show and at 7:30 will cruise to the StarVu Drive-In Theatre, (we are
currently working on the main feature if you have any suggests we would like to
hear them). There will be a $5.00 fee per classic carload ($10.00 for newer
cars) at the Drive-In gate. We are working on something different for Sunday;
we will have more information by the time we send out the August newsletter.
Larry Lyles has done it
again; first with “Project Charger” and now with “Revive Your Ride”.
Larry’s new book covers it all from the beginning to the finished project. If
you are a novice or an advanced restorer this book is for you. It tells you how
to set up a shop, the tools and products to repair sheet metal. It provides
tips for restoring emblems, badges, molding, etc. Also it covers bodywork to
painting your car. You can call Larry to order your own personal copy of “Revive
Your Ride” (money well spent). Larry’s phone # (806) 359-9783
Many thanks to each and
every one of you that helped out at the Meet, we appreciate it very much.
All the door prizes that
everyone donated made this part of the meet very successful.
To make 2007 year’s meet as
successful as last year’s meet we need everyone’s help: by bringing your
Charger and a friend with their Charger, volunteering to help at the meet and
donating door prizes. Please let Rocky know if you can help.
Darryl
Starbird show in January - Charger Fever
teamed up with the Wichita Area Mopars (WAM) again this year to go to the
Darryl Starbird show in January. We had seven cars that went in with us five
were Chargers and two other Mopars. This was Darryl Starbird’s 50 Year
anniversary show, due to the number of feature cars, Darryl had to cut the
number of club cars that could be showed, (we lost 5 cars that was ready show
join us). Darryl said, he would not limit the numbers next time. If you would
like to join us next year and would like more information about the show please
contact Rocky.
