[Flyin4stroke]

flyin 4 stroke ill be meeting up with eurotiva around his area melbourne and i think take51 will be toand maybe another will have a good FL convoy you should join for sure im weary of mine making it but if i have a convoy behind me ill try it ! and eurotiva was talkin hes goign to be driving his econoline towing his festiva and only running 55-60mph so if we break down in front of him he will be trailing to help ahaha

Sounds good I will be attending the convoy.. Im guessing we will just meet up somewhere up 95.. I'm gonna bring a big tool box also lol.. Hopefully the old girl has got it in her, I'm going to throw some new rubber on it next week and just got a new starter and getting a battery im gonna replace anything that maybe has a chance of stopping me.. Gonna put some wheel bearings in the back just for the heck of it other than that its whoevers guess.. Good times!!

Oh yeah and maybe try to get some exhaust on the car so i dont kill myself from the constant engine noise without a radio... Bring the old DeWalt and hooking it up to my phone i wonder how many hours 2 batteries will get me i guess we will see lol

^^As I recall, Will, you & Skeeter actually completed it AT Ohiostiva!
The trip up & back was just the "shakedown"! LOL!

[Britstiva]

I'm really looking forward to this meet! I can't wait! I'm getting so excited!

I'm bringing that trunk lid I got from last year's pick-a-part Festiva and giving it to Skimsucka. Does anyone have an extra front bumper laying around that they would like to donate my way?

Mine has some damage to it and the it's bowed up like it's pouting. LOL

I can't wait to show off Britstiva! I've been working on it some more since the last pics!

Thanks Sam_1956

Madness meet is just under two weeks away.

Wife's 92 GL Festiva is still at the body shop.

Her car should be back here middle of next week.

The plan was to have her car done and the b6t car in next for final paint.

Since there was not time before Madness to get this done.

Sam offered to come over and help rattle can flat black the b6t.

Thank you Sam for helping get most of the car painted today.

Later this week, hood, body kit , grill will also be painted flat black.

Sure?!? (Scratches Head)
Sounds like a fair trade, lol.

That's why they say you're the best Dean.

[Britstiva]

I like it flat black! Take some gloss black and spray paint some flames on it to make them pop from the flat back ground and you'd have one mean looking Festiva!

I saw the idea in a toy car that Toys R Us carries... it's called Black Bandit series by Greenlight.

I'll be in Tennessee this weekend. My high school is having a 50 year homecoming party and parade for the homecoming game.

Otherwise, I'd be there for sure! Dean, i can't wait for you to see the Britstiva!!

[sam.1956]

Jeremy... call / PM me if you want to drop by my place after work one evening & get the bumper. It's in storage at my apartment.

Well.... not actually IN my apartment! LOL! It's in my garage.

[FeistyFesti]

How late does Festiva Madness usually last on Saturdays? Will it last til Sunday morning? Just checking because if so, me and the wifey will get a hotel in Raleigh. In addition, if I get there at 9 or 930, is that gonna be too early?

[eurotiva]

Festiva Madness, should be a 2 day event....because alot of us are driving a day for a 4 hr. meet..........But I know it will last all weekend......and we are going to that other meet too. Right Dean? And will be drinking and having a good ol time Woot!!

On another note I am thinking of bringing a group activity for everyone but we'll see. I have a 10'X20' r/c racetrack, and 6 cars but I do not know if anybody will be into it. Or just talking festivas.....
