thanks for the info.
Do people bring tables and such or what?

Bruce, if you are referring to the lunch, there will be tables set up and a buffet lunch usually from Rascals.  It is recommended to bring your own folding chair.

Karl usually sets up some sort of demonstrations after lunch such as dent removal, buffing tips, swapping bodies onto frames (happened 1 year), and some folks just hang out and catch up on what's been going on since the last car show or club event they saw them at last.

If you are asking about the swap meet, you can either put stuff on the floor or bring your own table(s) as Mitch referred to.

 SO EXACTLY HOW DOES THAT WORK? ANY CHEVY STUFF? ARE THERE TYPICALLY A LOT OF GUYS BRING STUFF?

---

 Bring a bunch of Chevy stuff. Actually, bring a bunch of GM stuff. You never know who might need this or that.

thanks for the info.

thanks Stan and Mitch,
i was wondering about the swap meet. since my point of reference are some very large ones, i was just trying to picture what just some average guys did with a box or two of parts.
i appreciate you patience with all the new guy questions.

 To sum it all up. Its basically a bunch of guys that set up a space in Karl's shop to sell and trade all your stuff and look at other peoples stuff they have for sale. Pretty straight forward.

TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rascals is doing the meal again this year. Marcie and Andrew have always done a great job for us. Chicken breasts etc. again.
They will be setting up for food at about 12:30
The Shop is really full. Body side is buried with work. Good chance to see a lot of wrecked cars in all stages of repair.
Greg Larson from Phils Auto Body in Rosemount is helping to put together a presentation on Chemical filler 101.
All you ever wanted to know about use of fillers, feather edging and abrasives.
I will pull some scrap Chevelle parts to practice on. Still have the small block 66 Elky on the roto. we can also play with that a little.
The swap meet will be on the Mechanical side, same as last year. Set up 11:30 or after.
I do have some tables and a few chairs for meal seating.
IF YOU WANT TO BE SURE OF A PLACE TO SIT, BRING YOUR OWN CHAIR!!!!!!!!
If it is dry enough I will pull "project Biskwik" out of my home garage nearby.
We could then have a wax the car, demo by attendees. This is the car we did the frame off on a few years ago. Mostly done, still playing with engine and rear diffi.
Body and paint came out looking ok.
Maybe this will be the year we make it over 100 attendees from all the clubs.
Thanks to all for your interest.

Karl

It looks like I will not be able to attend this year. Who do I send a check to for the membership dues?

Biscayne started, however, carb is bleeding fuel all over the place. Looks like it will sir till spring.
I do have a 454 that needs a oil pan, pump and pickup installed. Maybe Tony would like to demo that for us!!!!!!!!!!

 Is it still in a car ??  It wouldn't be much of a challenge on a stand...

A demo on how to rebuild a carb might be a good one too.

 Big difference on rebuilding a Rochester, Holley or Edelbrock. It would be difficult to cover them all with only one.

I'll have your transmission with me. Will you have a vehicle to haul to home with ?

Engine is on a stand, ready to assemble pump, ablancer and pan.

 Won't take long to button that up. Do you want the pickup tube tacked to the pump ??

 Kurt, go to the main website and print the member application form, attach a check to Northstar Chevelle Club, and mail it to the address on the form.  Thanks!

 So what. Its not like were giving a full on course on carburation and how every carb works and how to rebuild each one. Its about installing a rebuild kit into the carb and those that are intrested can learn something they may not have been aware of and those that are intimidated with the possibility of rebuilding a carb may gain some confidence in rebuilding one themselves. I would hardly call that covering everything.

Yup. Ill have a vehicle to haul it home.

There is a good chance I won't make it tomorrow? Found out today I have Strep throat (feel like crap). Mike is there a chance we could meet in the morning so I can send calendars with you?

 Try getting ahold of Jamie and see if he could grab them from you since he is a mile away.  

Don't forget your chair!

Thanks Karl!  Great event as always!  We really appreciate your hospitality!

Thanks Karl for another great meeting. We are officially 10 years old now. Happy B day NCC.

 Kurt, go to the main website and print the member application form.  Also forgot there's a link here on the forum in the dark bule bar towards the right corner under 'Join Northstar Chevelle Club'.

Karl, as always thanks for the hospitality, food, demos and last but not least friendship with all the Bowtie car clubs! 

Sorry I didn't get to talk to everyone I wanted to but the vert was screaming for some attention and to have her floor put back in! 

Here's a couple of pics I snapped:

 

Thanks again for the hospitality.

These are the 4 I shot.
