Tone & I were kicking aound the idea of a late summer get together. Pondering another meet here in Katy then perhaps a run to the Kemah Boardwalk. We had a great time on the last run (though I accidently walked my dinner tab...thanks for the save T). Sorta figured on letting the Houston heat die down a bit so perhaps late Sept or early Oct. Any interest from the locals & newbies???

YES! I would be interested - it's been too long since I've seen y'all.
Just curious as to when you thought this might happen? If its late September, I may be interseted in coming down. I am dying to get back into the seat of my VX... its been WAY too long.
Coach... I mean Randy (I often forget who I really am) ;)

Coach,
Has the beast roared back to life yet? If not, it must be getting close. Haven't had an update in a while.:cool!: :naughty: :nuke:
Me too! It would be cool to see all y'all. :wave: Maybe I'll be able to swing down there as well... hmmmmmmm. :luck: Keep us posted!Quote:

Transmission is back in... had to modify my already modified oil pan before the motor would settle into place. I think I've found that the exhaust manifolds from the donor motor aren't going to work... at least not without some modifications... might have to go with a set of LS1 truck manifolds or a set of LS1 truck headers... I'm hoping I can find one of the local Silverado SS owners who have gone to headers so I can try out their manifolds. I have to bolt the torque convertor to the flex-plate and lower the motor/trans combo back into place and then the real test... put the T-case back in... I'm still not completely sure that the front prop shaft is going to clear... but dangit... I'm gonna try! lol This will happen before the weekend and hope to ahve the trans mount and motor mounts done this weekend... then I have to find a way to get the VX to the exhaust shop for a nice new system front to back... wiring to get the thing to start will be cake... then its drive-shaft/prop-shaft time. I've had a number of set-backs due to my knee injury awhile back (did it again a few weeks ago) and I've been busy with other things so I haven't spent much time even THINKING about the VX... let alone actually working on it. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel though so I'm starting to get psyched up again. It should run again with just a couple good weekends of work... sorry I haven't been in touch with all y'all... TTYL!Quote:

OK...let's narrow it down a bit shall we...
Either the 18th of Sept or the 2nd of Oct (Oct is cooler to hang in Kemah).
Any takers?

Yup, I agree and I vote for october 2 George!
Welp, not that it was definite that I would make it, so don't make a decision because of me, but I will be in Florida on the weekend of 10/2... and most likely won't be back to the midwest until late the following weekend... there'd be hell to pay if I missed my best friends B-day... anyway... I still have plenty to do to the VX so I'm not positive that it will be in running order by then anyway... TTYL!
Ok-the easy part of picking a date is done. Figure on saturday Oct 2nd. The plans will run as usual. Meet here in Katy with cocktails/brews by the pool (swim or watch). Mods applied if needed then head out 45 to Kemah.
Tone was right with his comments in the "meet" post. We had a good time the last trip out to the gulf. We usually leave Katy for a late afternoon arrival in Kemah. Plan on hanging along the waterfront boardwalk before dinner dockside. It's well worth the trip if you haven't been in a while or never seen the area.
Now comes the hard part- attendance. We've had as many as twelve VX's over the years and as little as three. If we can get folks to head out this way I'll continue to host the gatherings but the fall off in attendance has become indicative that there may no longer be a local interest. A turnout will prove me wrong but otherwise this might be the last meet for a while. I can always count on the Austin crowd but locally....well, we'll see. Give us a post if you can meet up and, as always, new folks are welcome.

I am pretty sure I will be able to attend. Just have to talk hubby into sitting with the baby. Count me in though - I don't expect a problem with it. ;Dy;
I might be showing too. If I am in town.
So how many do we have?

Tone and I will be there, not sure which vx we will be taking yet....

Houston-we have a problem. Got to do better than 6 (especially when 4 are from out of our area) but it's a start.
