Spring Dust Off Anderson, Indiana who's going?

[MASH 4077]

The Spring Dust Off is April 26-28 2013. If you are planning on attending you can go to www.indianamvpa.org for directions and event details there is also a link on the Indiana MVPA site for McClains Military Armor Museum's Facebook page and phone numbers on the Indiana MVPA web site to contact John @ the museum for more details. I will be attending with my M38A1 & M101 as my camper! Who else is in for this show?

 

[MASH 4077]

Bump!

I'll be there as well with the M1008 (hopefully), not sure if I'll be camping though. I've been waiting for this to show up. Also a note to all... don't be afraid to drive down and around the back of the museum. I didn't know I could last time and had some poor coms. But I actually know what I'm doing this year! But it should be a good time had by all. It'll be good to see you again Mash.

That reminds me, odds are the HAM operators out there may actually be able to talk to us. I really do need to get my radio license.

 

[MASH 4077]

Sweet! Put the word out! We are praying for better weather this year. I have also been in direct contact with John. Looking forward to seeing you also!

I'll try to bring some friends along too. I'm not going to lie, I want to climb around on some of the stuff they have and take a tour around there. Maybe I'll get some inspiration for the next project or two. I really need to get a civy drop hitch on the M1008 to pull some trailers. I may be joining the jeep club if I can afford the entry fee.

I'd also like to add: It helps to group up and drive in vs. a truck here and there especially for those who have never been (like me last year). Also anyone heading up Pendleton Pike from indy and cutting through Ingils, IN watch your speed and your driving, its basically one big speed trap until you get past the prisons.

 

[MASH 4077]

Awesome, I know I'm sure looking forward to it. I've got to get my 101 trailer down there and my jeep. I may just pull the 101 with the Jeep, not sure yet.

 

[MASH 4077]

We're getting closer! Durango are you still going?

 

[MASH 4077]

Bump

 

[vitamink]

I may stop by your swap meet! looks cool.

 

[Durango_USMC]

I'm still going, but the M1008 developed Death Wobble and I'm not 100% on what I'm doing mechcanically. But a complete king pin rebuild kit for both sides of the D60 axle and a new steering stablizer are inbound and I'll be doing a lot of looking around in the steering system this weekend. Hopefully I'll get it fixed in time, if not I'll probably drive up anyways.

Wish I could make it but I will be out of town. John is a GREAT guy!!!

Fred,

Good to hear from you. I haven't seen you since last year's show. Is KT coming too? Scott was saying he will try to get over also. He gave me a load of crap because he didn't get to last year's show and missed hanging out with you guys.

 

[Durango_USMC]

M1008 is probably out But I'm still in.

Although... I do have AAA so maybe I'll try to limp it up there or tow it (depends if I get death wobble fixed or not) if anyone wants to help me wrench on it a bit lol. But I look forward to going to this one.

 

[st8kfinger]

Me and my son are going to be there in the 1009 unless something catastrophic happens. Not sure if we will camp out. Hope the weather is a little more rally friendly this year.

 

[MASH 4077]

I'm hoping for good weather also. I've been getting the 101 trailer ready! I sure hope it sleeps good lol

 

[tjmilitary]

How many guys are selling here? Tried to call John to see how the show was looking but havent got a call back. Not sure if its worth the drive to bring some goods to pedal.

 

[vitamink]

My hmmwv isn't going to be done until next month unfortunately. Ill have to sit this one out I guess

 

[Mike_L]

I've talked to a couple local guys bringing stuff in to sell. I've thought about bringing a few items down just to get some cash for the summer show season. I'll be there either way.

This close to the show, I'm surprised you hadn't heard back from John. I know previously, pre-2009, they would spent a week or so before the shows and "spruce up" the place. Last I talked to him he said he'd heard from a few vendors but I haven't talked to him recently.
