         Renewing TMC Membership packs will start getting mailed

         good cause.  They cannot sell tickets via internet nor mail,
         and so it's a little effort to get a $50 ticket; not many
         have been sold.  They also are selling Christmas trees.

    1928 Ford AA truck
    
    Subject: Ford AA truck for sale
    
    ...
    Now about the truck, like I said, I would like $6500 for it as it is now. 
    I hope to start putting the bed back together next week.  I will paint the 
    original wood and skid strips and remount the bed to the chassis. Then take 
    some pictures with the gratn side boards, and the stake sides, and put it 
    out there for sale at $7500.
    
    A brief discription of the truck. It's registered in VA as an antique vehicle, 
    1929 Ford AA. It's last use was as a grain truck, but I also have the stake 
    side boards.  The platform,AKA, bed, is a Ford TT, the same size as an AA, 
    but with only 4 stake pockets on the sides, and (Ford Truck) in script on the
    back. The AA came with 6 pockets and no script on the back.  It also comes with 
    pickup load of spare parts, a good rebuildable ehgine, extra brake parts, a 
    good set of fenders, and other parts.

    	Hello everyone,
    	As per last nights meeting, I am posting this information on the web.
    	The TMC 2011 Christmas Party is scheduled for Dec. 13. This is on the 
    	second Tuesday of Dec. We will be having our Party at the Golden Corral 
    	located on Kempsville near Indian River Rd. The address is 
    	1436 Kempsville Rd. We will be starting at 7 PM. The prices are $10.39 
    	for the buffet + $2.09 for a drink.
    
    	I would like to get a head count for everyone that is planning on attending. 
    	I have both the large and small banquet rooms reserved, the larger room will 
    	hold up to 50 people the smaller around 30. I think the larger will be OK 
    	for our group but we have had alot of new members join this year and I just 
    	want to make sure we have enough room for everyone.
    
    	We are planning on having our usual gift exchange. The dollar amount for the 
    	gifts is not to exceed $20.
    
    	I would like to get some ideas from everyone for some door prizes, both for 
    	the guys and the gals.
    
    	Thanks again everyone for a great year.
    	Lets all celebrate together this year.

    	From AJ:
    
    	Hello everyone,
    	As per last nights meeting, I am posting this information on the web.
    	The TMC 2011 Christmas Party is scheduled for Dec. 13. This is on the 
    	second Tuesday of Dec. We will be having our Party at the Golden Corral 
    	located on Kempsville near Indian River Rd. The address is 
    	1436 Kempsville Rd. We will be starting at 7 PM. The prices are $10.39 
    	for the buffet + $2.09 for a drink.
    
    	I would like to get a head count for everyone that is planning on attending. 
    	I have both the large and small banquet rooms reserved, the larger room will 
    	hold up to 50 people the smaller around 30. I think the larger will be OK 
    	for our group but we have had alot of new members join this year and I just 
    	want to make sure we have enough room for everyone.
    
    	We are planning on having our usual gift exchange. The dollar amount for the 
    	gifts is not to exceed $20.
    
    	I would like to get some ideas from everyone for some door prizes, both for 
    	the guys and the gals.
    
    	Thanks again everyone for a great year.
    	Lets all celebrate together this year.
    	AJ Schneider

    * Today is Veterans Day.
    
      The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month marked 
      the end of World War I, the largest and most destructive
      war in world history up to that time.  It was called
      Armistice Day and has since become Veterans Day.
    
      On this 11/11/11 it is a good time to reflect on the
      debt our country owes our veterans.
    
      See below for some of the stuff available to honor our veterans.
    
    * The Youth Challenge Car Show in Hampton did very poorly
      back in Sept. due to foul weather - the rescheduled date
      is 11/12 - they could use our support *

      Fellow Hobbyists: Stinky's restaurant is on route 17 by the post office 
      in Yorktown. They purchased a $100 ad in our VFC  program and have worked

      find a way to support their "Grease" endeavor -- Please do so.
      Thanks!!
      Larry

    	Hay guys , There is a CHKD benifit race next Monday 
    	night At Indoor Karting. Best Of Times Nostalgia Drag Race 
    	Association has formed a team and is in need of two more 
    	drivers . This is an eunduro race consisting of up to 20 
    	teams racing consisting of five members each there will be 
    	one member per team on the track at a time for 100 min of 
    	racing. There will be pit stops and driver changes throughout 
    	the race. Due to our members being spread out there is a 
    	limited number in the Tidewater area and we require two more 
    	to complete the team. The cost is $50.00 per driver I know 
    	it's a bit high but it goes to CHKD.  I can assure you this 
    	will be a blast these karts are fast, and we will have an 
    	Ace in the hole. So if you have what it takes give me a call .
    
    	PS  Best Of Times along with CHKD is  a registered. nonprofit 
    	corporation and is tax deductible.

    Hello everyone, As you may or may not know, I am training 
    for my first 1/2 century bike ride. It will take place on 
    Oct 1, 2011. It is the 3rd Annual Beach Century Bike Tour. 
    This event is to raise funds for the "We Promise 
    Foundation". The We Promise Foundation is dedicated to 
    making dreams come true for children who struggle with 
    severe illness or tremendous hardship. Here is the link to 
    there web page http://wepromisefoundation.org I am asking 
    all my friends and family to help me to raise some money 
    for this event. You can make your donation here on line or 
    send me a check made out to the We Promise Foundation. 
    Email me for my address tazldazl@cox.net. I need to raise 
    $100.00 for my entry fee but I would like to be able to 
    give a lot more. Children are our prize possessions. My 
    dream/goal is to ride a full century by next spring. So by 
    helping me with my dream you will be making a child's dream 
    come true also. Thank you and God Bless you all.

        for their support of the Virginia Fall Classic we have 
        declared September 2011 as "Outback Appreciation Month". 
        The Outback restaurant located at 12258 Jefferson Ave., 
        Newport News, VA has provided over 1,000 free meals over 
        the past few years. All money raised through this event has 
        gone directly to support our donation to the 
        Children's Hospital of The King\u2019s Daughters. The 
        employees working this event for the VFC have always 
        refused to take any compensation. Please click on this link 
        and print the attached page. Bring this page with you when 
        you visit Outback during September or any time throughout 
        the year to show them we appreciate what they do. Remember

        for their support of the Virginia Fall Classic we have 
        declared September 2011 as "Outback Appreciation Month". 
        The Outback restaurant located at 12258 Jefferson Ave., 
        Newport News, VA has provided over 1,000 free meals over 
        the past few years. All money raised through this event has 
        gone directly to support our donation to the 
        Children's Hospital of The King\u2019s Daughters. The 
        employees working this event for the VFC have always 
        refused to take any compensation. Please click on this link 
        and print the attached page. Bring this page with you when 
        you visit Outback during September or any time throughout 
        the year to show them we appreciate what they do. Remember

    making dreams come true for children who struggle with 
    severe illness or tremendous hardship. Here is the link to

    for this event. You can make your donation here on line or

    1973 Duster, from Mark Cancian, mcancian@comcast.net
    
    Thought you might put this out to your membership.
    
    I have a '73 Plymouth Duster, which I bought new.  Stock with a new 
    slant six engine.  Drove it until 2000 when I put it into storage.  It 
    was going to be my retirement project but a tree limb fell on it last 
    fall and badly damaged the roof.  It is now beyond what I am willing to 
    undertake.  I am willing to give it away to a good home.  Free.  Have various 
    additional parts and the manual.  Let me know if you or any of your 
    members are interested.  My email: mcancian@comcast.net

    ********* Mopar Guy Seeking Past Owner **************
    
    via Email from Dan Brooks, Danielgbrooks@yahoo.com:
    
    	  Greetings from one mopar fan to another,
    
      I'm throwing this out there in hopes that you might have some
      information for me. I recently purchased another 1968 Dodge dart,(my
      wife's still pissed about it too), but am trying to find anything I can
      about it's past. The information I have tells me that before I bought it
      that the car was registered in Virginia. What I know is that the car was
      in Culpepper county in 2003 and belonged to a county employee, that's
      all I know. It's your basic plane Jane white slant six dart with no
      frills at all but power steering. The cars in really good shape but the
      bmv in Virginia will give up no information what so ever due to security
      reasons which I totally understand but it makes it hard for car guys
      like us to track any information at all about the past. The vin is
      LL21B8B285418.  Anything you might be able to help me with would be a
      blessing. Thanks again, Dan Brooks.

    6/18    TMC Poker Run & TMC Annual Picnic  -- Virginia Beach - Norfolk - Chesapeake
    
    	TMC Poker Run, followed by the TMC picnic - details at
    	http://67.62.88.68/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=19
    
    	A.J. & Dick & have worked hard on this - let's make it
    	a big success!  The Poker run starts ~8:45am from
    	the Macy's parking lot at Greenbrier Mall...
    	** Rain or Shine **
    
    	**** Latest from Dick:
    
    	Hey Folks,
    
    	Just a reminder that this Saturday is the TMC Poker Run and 
    	Annual club Picnic, celebrating the Tidewater Mopar Clubs 
    	25th Anniversary, at Bob Kinker's. 
    
    	The weather looks like it will be a warm day with westerly 
    	breezes and a 30% chance of rain.  This means there is a 
    	70% chance that it won't rain.  Either way the Poker Run 
    	and Picnic are rain or shine events. 
    
    	The poker run will leave the lower Macy's parking lot at 
    	Greenbrier Mall at around 8:45 - 9:00.  AJ will have 
    	directions and card sheets to hand out to all.  The plan is 
    	to visit some of our TMC club sponsors, get a little	
    	general information on their services and draw cards for 
    	the poker hand. 
    
    	The route will take us from Greenbrier to downtown Norfolk, 
    	back along Virginia Beach Blvd to the Oceana area, then 
    	down to the Strawbridge area and from there we'll run out 
    	to Bob's place at 1221 Taft Road, in Chesapeake.  
    
    	The picnic will kick off with the arrival of the Poker Run 
    	folks.  Picnic plans include the Bensons fabulous BBQ, pot 
    	luck dishes, music and games as well as announcing the 
    	winner of the Poker Run.
    
    	Those that can't make the poker run should still plan on 
    	attending the picnic and enjoying the afternoon sharing the 
    	good times and great food. Bob says anytime after 9:30 to 
    	10:00 if you aren't doing the poker run. 
    
    	Just a reminder. Please bring your chairs, and a covered 
    	dish. Sodas, BBQ, will be provided. We still need side 
    	dishes and would like to get a better feel for the amount 
    	of BBQ & sodas to get.
    
    	If you find you can make it to either the poker run or 
    	picnic please drop me an Email, even as late as Friday 
    	night would be appreciated.  
    
    	Thanks, look forward to seeing as many as can make it on 
    	Saturday.

    TMC
    6/18    TMC Poker Run  & Picnic  -- Chesapeake
    
    	TMC Poker Run, followed by the TMC picnic - details at
    	http://67.62.88.68/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=19
    
    	A.J. has carefully planned the route so we can visit many of our
    	sponsors... a good chance to meet them and see how they be of
    	service to you.
    
    	From TMC BOD member Dick Collins:
    	*********
    	     TMC members,
    
    	     Just a reminder to mark your calendars for Saturday 18 June 
    	     and make plans to attend our annual TMC picnic and poker run.
    
    	     This year we're having a poker run which will end at Bob Kinker's 
    	     (1221 Taft Rd.  Chesapeake)  place for the picnic.
    
    	     The plans are pretty well in place for the day with only a few 
    	     minor tweaks remaining so the information below may not be exactly
    	     where we end up but is solid enough to base plans on.
    
    	     The poker run will leave the lower Macy's parking lot at Greenbrier 
    	     Mall at around 8:45 - 9:00.  AJ will have directions and card sheets
    	     to hand out to all.  The plan is to have a meet and greet with some 
    	     of our TMC club sponsors, tour the sponsor shops, get information on 
    	     their services and draw cards for the poker hand.  The route will 
    	     take us from Greenbrier to downtown Norfolk, back along Virginia Beach
    	     Blvd to the Oceana area, then down to the Strawbridge area and from 
    	     there we'll run out to Bob's place on Taft Road. 
    
    	     The picnic will kick off with the arrival of the Poker Run folks.  
    	     Picnic plans include Bensons fabulous BBQ, pot luck dishes, music and 
    	     games as well as announcing the winner of the Poker Run.
    
    	     Those that can't make the poker run should still plan on attending the
    	     picnic and enjoying the afternoon sharing the good times and great food.   
    
    	     In order to plan for the events I will be taking the Head count for the
    	     Poker Run as well as the picnic so please drop me an Email and let me 
    	     know how many to plan on and what dish you'll be bringing.
    
    				      Poker Run,
    				      Picnic
    				      Poker Run AND Picnic.
    
    	     Request your response by Monday night, 13 June in order to do the final
    	     planning at the June TMC meeting. I'll be sending out reminder with the 
    	     latest information after the meeting.
    
    	     Thanks and lets get everyone out to enjoy the Poker Run, Picnic and in
    	     general a great time.

    6/18    TMC Poker Run  & Picnic  -- Chesapeake
    
    	TMC Poker Run, followed by the TMC picnic - details at
    	http://67.62.88.68/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=19
    
    	A.J. has carefully planned the route so we can visit many of our
    	sponsors... a good chance to meet them and see how they be of
    	service to you.
    
    	From TMC BOD member Dick Collins:
    	*********
    	     TMC members,
    
    	     Just a reminder to mark your calendars for Saturday 18 June 
    	     and make plans to attend our annual TMC picnic and poker run.
    
    	     This year we're having a poker run which will end at Bob Kinker's 
    	     (1221 Taft Rd.  Chesapeake)  place for the picnic.
    
    	     The plans are pretty well in place for the day with only a few 
    	     minor tweaks remaining so the information below may not be exactly
    	     where we end up but is solid enough to base plans on.
    
    	     The poker run will leave the lower Macy's parking lot at Greenbrier 
    	     Mall at around 8:45 - 9:00.  AJ will have directions and card sheets
    	     to hand out to all.  The plan is to have a meet and greet with some 
    	     of our TMC club sponsors, tour the sponsor shops, get information on 
    	     their services and draw cards for the poker hand.  The route will 
    	     take us from Greenbrier to downtown Norfolk, back along Virginia Beach
    	     Blvd to the Oceana area, then down to the Strawbridge area and from 
    	     there we'll run out to Bob's place on Taft Road. 
    
    	     The picnic will kick off with the arrival of the Poker Run folks.  
    	     Picnic plans include Bensons fabulous BBQ, pot luck dishes, music and 
    	     games as well as announcing the winner of the Poker Run.
    
    	     Those that can't make the poker run should still plan on attending the
    	     picnic and enjoying the afternoon sharing the good times and great food.   
    
    	     In order to plan for the events I will be taking the Head count for the
    	     Poker Run as well as the picnic so please drop me an Email and let me 
    	     know how many to plan on and what dish you'll be bringing.
    
    				      Poker Run,
    				      Picnic
    				      Poker Run AND Picnic.
    
    	     Request your response by Monday night, 13 June in order to do the final
    	     planning at the June TMC meeting. I'll be sending out reminder with the

    	{ These fellows running this show both Emailed the TMC and 
    	  made very a good pitch at the VPCCC meeting 5/19 - last year 
              they had over 75 cars, and this year plan on more cars and 
              many vendors with those vendors providing many goodies for the
    	  participants.  They are trying very hard to put on a great
    	  show.
    
    	  They're raising money to keep the Hampton Christian Schools 
    	  Athletic Program going - a good cause they really believe in.

    	{ These fellows running this show both Emailed the TMC and 
    	  made very a good pitch at the VPCCC meeting 5/19 - last year 
              they had over 75 cars, and this year plan on more cars and 
              many vendors with those vendors providing many goodies for the
    	  participants.  They are trying very hard to put on a great
    	  show.
    
    	  They're raising money to keep the Hampton Christian Schools 
    	  Athletic Program going - a good cause they really believe in.
    
    	  Joshua (hcscarshow@harristruckshop.com) sent us a long Email - 
    	  some excepts:
    
    	  "The show will have categories ranging from 1920's to 2012's 
               ... 
               This year's sponsors and vendors consist of Harris Truck 
    	   and Auto Body Shop, Cook's Moving and Storage, Advance Auto 
    	   Parts, Geico, Harley Davidson, Nationwide, Eagle Medical 
    	   Transportation, Cousins Towing, Chick-fil-a, Snap-on, and PPG 
    	   just to name a few. 
    	   ...
    	   Of course, the show will give trophies to each 
    	   category but more specifically it will also give out club 
    	   specific awards for Best in Club and Fan Favorite to name a 
    	   few. However in order to do this we are asking for a 
    	   commitment from your club. If you are interested, please 
    	   email me back and remember, the show is to help support 
    	   High School Athletics and to help young men and women have 
    	   a better future. For more 24/7 information about the show 
    	   please visit facebook.com/HCSCarShow.

    2/6	Cars & Coffee Virginia Beach  --   Virginia Beach
    
    	LA PROMENADE SHOPS, 1860 Laskin Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23454
    
    	What is Cars & Coffee all about?
    	Originally started in Irvine, CA at a strip mall on the PCH, the 
    	Cars & Coffee idea has steadily spread to various areas across 
    	the country. Here in Virginia Beach we have the beach, we have the 
    	sports cars in the area, and we have plenty of coffee so it seemed a 
    	logical fit to start a Cars & Coffee event around here. This is an 
    	informal hangout for mature car enthusiasts who enjoy an early 
    	morning drive and a cup of coffee.
    
    	Are you normally busy on Saturdays with a list of honey-do's or 
    	family commitments? Well that's perfectly fine because you can be 
    	back home before your spouse is even up. Enjoy your car hobby and 
    	still enjoy the rest of your day.
    
    	Special thanks to Shorebreak Sports Bar for hosting the first event. 
    	However, we quickly filled the parking lot. Thus, the event is now 
    	hosted at La Promenade Shops which features a much larger parking 
    	area and a Starbucks on location.
    
    	This event is the first Saturday of every month with the following 
    	Saturday as a rain date.
    
    
    	PS: You don't need a fancy car to come and enjoy! 
    	
    	Event will be held the first Saturday of every month from 7:30am 
    	until 10am with the following Saturday as the rain date.
    
    	Next date: Sunday 2/6/2011, 7:30am-10am

    Larry Hooper, one of the owners of Classic Rods and More
    (http://www.classicrods.com), was instrumental in getting my Hot Rod built
    (http://classicrods.com/g-2047-1930-red-coupe.html). Contact Larry ((434)
    386-1933, if you are interested in this Model A frame, the front end kit
    that is offered by Classic Rods and More, or view their website for choice
    parts for your winter time project.
    
     
    This Model A (28-31) base frame is set-up with a MII front cross member is
    being offered thru Classic Rods & More.  This MII front end design is a
    joint venture between Classic Rods & More and Welders Series.  It maintains
    the stock MII geometry and DOES NOT require the front fenders to be bubbled
    or requires rack extenders like in the past.  However, it does require the
    use of narrowed tube "A" arms and 2" dropped spindles which Classic Rods &
    More can provide along with the MII rack.  Westcott offers a fiberglass
    splash apron that is bubbled to clear the rack & pinion steering up front.
    The MII cross member, rails and rear kick-up will be available separately at
    a later date this year.  Price for base frame as pictured is $1,150.  One in
    stock.
