What time did you have in mind? It takes me an hour to get over there, and they close around 3:00(?), and GS and I may be inspecting the SC, which happens to be 10 minutes away from the Galaxie, around noon, so maybe 11:00?

Well it depends, there was some talk about maybe a cruise to Kemah or a Galveston cruise in general. Maybe if there is a nice place to sit down and talk, like a seafood restaurant with tasty shrimp, why not. Our mini-meets don't usually have any activities, it's just for chilling out mostly, but I think we should have some sort of activity just not sure what. As for a monthly meet if there is a route that looks promising we'll be sure to go, eventually we will do a thing there just for a change in scenery. The only issue is that the roads are so much flatter and they are straight with barely any twisty ones, so it's not too great for having fun.
>>
>>15392671
Yeah, all the twisty roads are patrolled heavily by cops as well. Most of them are back in Pearland or beyond.

I dunno, I've never been to Kemah so that'd be nice. I just want to get out of this fucking house and at the very least meet some of you guys.
>>
>>15392681
Don't worry brother, all in good time. On the bright side at least you met GS.
>>
>>15392701
Yeah, he was cool and I really appreciate him dropping by.

Hopefully soon I can catch some sort of meet. It all depends on what my surgeon decides to do at this point.

There's some kind of 1000 car Galveston cruise on the 1698th of October. You guys interested in representing? Its a long ass cruise all over south Houston to 61st street to cherry hill.

I'll double post the current plan.
>>
Details
This will be one for the books!!! Lets get everyone in Houston in on this cruise 1000+ cars, trucks, and bikes. We are going to fill the Bucees parking lot and Cherry Hill. Mark your calenders, invite your friends. Invite your clubs. More Info to come

!!!!!READ!!!!!!!

We are going to meet in front of !!!!!Target!!!! ***(19955 Katy Fwy, Houston, TX 77094)*** on S.Fry Road and I-10. The meet up time will be at 7:00 am and we will have a drivers meet around 8:00 to make sure everyone knows the directions we are going to go. We will then roll out at 8:15 am. We will be stopping in Texas City (exit 17) about 9:30 am at Bucees (6201 Gulf Fwy, Texas City, TX 77591) to meet the south side group that want to join us and cruise to Galveston. We will have a driver's meeting at Bucees at 10:00 am and leave after. We are to go to Cherry Hill, take photos and hang out. Then we will head back North on 45 and exit NASA Road 1 towards Seabrook to Sam's Boat (Seabrook)

We will pull out of Willie's Icehouse onto the Fry Access Rd and turn right onto I-10 East. We will follow I-10 to I-45 south and continue on I-45 to Exit 17 (Holland rd) and meet the south side cars at Bucees. When we reach Galveston, we will turn on 61st street and follow to Seawall and make a left. Then take the seawall all the way to Cherry Hill. We will catch lights at 61st and down the seawall, so be patient and everyone will catch up.

If you have any questions, you can message us on this page, or PM us on the Galveston Car Cruise.

We hope to make this a fun experience for everyone and all opinions are considered. It is the drivers and cars that make this a great experience and we thank you all for that! Thank you all in advance for enjoying an awesome time!

I don't have a garage, I don't have a lot of skill with fixing cars but I do have a few tools especially for auto detailing work.

Anyone have trim removal tools I can borrow? I assume advance auto parts has them cheap but... That means spending money.

Ok; so we looked at the Galaxy and even I don't have deep enough pockets to make that car worthwhile.

Though, we did see an interesting 1948 Studebaker Champion.

I'm thinking that we take the drivetrain and components from a van like these:

https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/5636787904.html

https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/5634260551.html

This is how I used to build hot rods back in the day; neglected sedan + worthless van = hot rod.

The only problem is the requirements for space, as we'd need to decide on an area where we can build a hot rod/store two non-running vehicles.
>>
>>15396143

Wow, well that was unexpected. This could give /hou/ such a great opportunity to learn, use their skills on and spread the word out for builds. How much is the Studebaker going on? Anyone got a pic?

We could probably get the Studebaker for $500 or less. Everything seems workable, it would just need an engine swap and an interior cleaning for top priorities.

Depending on how many people chip in, getting it from nothing to ready as a flagship could take less than 2-3 months, especially when costs are split so many ways and we have as many volunteers as we do. If no one does, us three could still take care of it and get it in shape, it'll just take longer.

If the S2000s don't (for some reason), the MGB should. The Miata was literally built to capture the MGB's dormant market in America.

It was my own fault for missing the meet, I did meet the anon with a supra though.

Up here I'm borrowing an early 00s V10 f350, it's huge, and somehow feels slower then the beetle.

I just fucked around on the weather sites making a decision too long.

Not much to tell, I've been dealing with pilonidal cysts and nerve pain for years. I've had 3 surgeries so far, and each time it's gotten worse. Last surgery was the day before my birthday last year, and they came back with a vengeance. Now the cysts are growing into my muscle tissue (which is extremely rare) and coming in close proximity to my colon and intestines.
