**JLP1977** · July 21st, 2011, 09:11 AM

HI, everyone! Good to see you guys last night at the meeting! My dad and i made it home with no problems, thank goodness...

OK, here are the days i can get together for painting my hood, so just let me know what days work best for the majority of you:

Saturday, July 30
Sat-Sun, August 6-7
Sat-Sun, August 13-14

And I know we had talked about ding some prep work on the Friday evening before-hand, so I can also make any of those Fridays work.

I'll take care of bringing pizza and pop for the gang!
Thanks in advance for the help, you guys!!

I can do the 30th and the Friday before. I will be in Reno for Hot August Nights the other weekends. If that date doesn't work I wish everyone the best on this repair. Larry aka Badbird

Larry are you driving your falcon to reno? also I still have the regulator if you still need....john h

**BadBird** · July 21st, 2011, 03:23 PM

No way I would drive it that far without an air conditioner. I am trailering it and it will be my car to drive around there for 1 1/2 weeks. I did get a regulator at the meeting so I appreciate the offer and I really thank everyone for looking and for giving me the regulator. Larry

You must be kidding...air... it's not really summer here , I have never seen a falcon trailor queen . cars are made to be driven , I would drive mine there in a hart beat if I wanted to go....

I can't do the 13-14th, but the other weekends work for me. I remember Pat saying he was busy the weekend of the 13th and 20th. Maybe the 29th can be a strip and sand day and the 30th the first stages of painting? I'll let the experts weigh in on timing, this is an area I too am in the learning stages.

I'm heading up to that show on the 13th I mentioned at the meeting on the 13th, so that day's shot.

**BadBird** · July 22nd, 2011, 10:17 AM

After this note I won't waste anymore space on this thread to discuss my driving to Reno or trailering the car. It may not be summer here, but it will probably be summer there. I also am taking my mother-in-law and daughter along with us. Where do folks put enough clothes and whatever for four people for a two week stay in Reno to play golf and other activities inside a Falcon? I have a 35 foot motor home for these drives and a trailer. So, "Falcon Cobra" I agree that cars are meant to be driven but without knowing any of the particulars it doesn't seem right to catagorize someones car as a trailer queen. Also with only 180 miles on my car I would be insane to start off on a 1500 mile trip on the first expedition. Larry

Larry, even though this thread seems to have been diverted in a direction it wasn't intended, keep us posted regarding your adventures in Reno. I, for one am very interested, and it wouldn't matter even "if" your car is a "trailer queen". You have a "drop dead geogeous" car and however you choose to use it is fine by me and I'm sure, many others!

**falcon cobra** · July 22nd, 2011, 12:10 PM

OK I"am sorry I was only joking, I don't think I would drive there in a falcon either, I know people that have had there cars come off trailors or the trailor come loose from the truck,, not good.. I see jokes have no place here...and yes it is a fine car, best to take care of it....john h
