What are you doing to get ready

So what are y'all doing to get ready for the big Restoration Rally - besides finalizing the schedule, getting everything we need, logging in reservations, calling vendors/sponsers - I'm doing this - maybe I should have waited for the polishing demo..... oh well patience patience

Getting ready for the rally -

This is how far I got today - I kinda forgot how much work first pass is - I'm going to run out of polish - Perfect Polish has F7 on backorder - darn - puts a dent in the progress - I'll have to see if VTS has some

I know Levon (he teaches the polishing sesson at the rally) is going to give me a hard time over the swirl marks - he teaches how to do it first pass without swirl marks - but I had all the stuff to do it - so I'll just have to grind - do I dare say grind - them out with the cyclo

Amazing! Here we are at one of the largest vintage trailer gatherings at Pismo Beach and we run into Luke, a vintage presenter extraordinnaire! Of course we chatted up the upcoming Restoration Rally. Also ran into several more vintage enthusiasts who are making the trek to ABQ for this outstanding event!

Jim Polk, ASA certified appraiser of vintage rigs will talk about values of these gems over the years. He will also be available to appraise up to 10 rigs at a discounted rate of $225 for the attendees of the rally.

Get ready for outstanding time, bring your restoration questions!

Hello, I will be at the rally, also just posted two 1977 Gaucho frames in good working condition. I removed them from a 27' Overlander. Have room to bring to the rally, if anyone wants them $35.00 each. Terry

AirstreamGypsy....GREAT job on the workshop cover sheet. Once again you outdid yourself and we'll have a great handout for all attendees...too much information overload to go home without recaps of the guest speaker presentations!

Yes! Bring all your swap meet items! We always have good stuff for sale...

Doesn't AirstreamGypsy do a nice job! Its just a tease of the rest of the work she does - the booklet is worth the price of admission alone

Something I've not mentioned is we are very lucky to have the Route 66 tour come through our rally on Friday night. There will be a bunch of old cars show up just before dark for a vintage movie on the big screen - tentative at this point is we will be showing Gumball Rally - its a old car flick. When we say big screen this is almost drive in movie size - it will be pretty cool.

So bring your lawn chairs!

You will also get to see how we put this all together - there are over 100 of us and about 60 on the tour -

Does anyone know if TMobile Data has coverage in the park? the TMobile map says it does, but I don't trust those slick fellers.

Gumball...

Sounds like a great evening. Is Luke bringing one of his popcorn machines?

Correct...I do have the booklet from last year, and it is great. Which 66 tour is coming thru? Do you have a ref. website? The Nomad needs a tour.

Hey Ken, new Airstream??? I thought you once said polishing one old one was enough???
Wish I could make the rally, got the clear coat off, look at it longingly wishing I had the ambition
to polish the ol girl. However, health problems have stopped the effort.. Good luck at the rally
Jim

I don't know about TMobile - Verizon works....

The Motor Tour is the one in the same as the route 66 rally that we have done in years past - this year we decided to do the motor tour earlier and ended up the same weekend as the VRR - anyone who like to do the tour is welcome, but can't do both - next year we are going to try to co-ordinate the two events so they are not on the same weekend

Jim - yes new Airstream, and yes I did say that, after last weekend I know now why I did say that - but yes I'm doing another one. I hope you are ok and we will certainly miss you!

The organizing team is excited that Lew Farber (you all know him as Lewster on the forums) will be presenting at the Restoration Rally - As many of you know he is an incredible resource and will be doing a seminar on solar and other electrical topics.

Lew is a mechanical engineer and owns of Master Tech RV. We thank Lew for joining us in making this an incredible learning experience.

Anybody attending who has a vintage parts trailer? Specifically looking for a 12' awning rail and a Hehr standard rear window for my unit. Like trying to find hens teeth!
