thanks tom. now that i have someone to cut them out i can make them any time.

to all who bought a set of brackets, they are done and i have your addresses and they will be mailed out as soon as i can get them wraped up and in the packages.

I just wanted to say that I did not know about this but I want to thank each one for the help. It's been a rough 6 months as we now have a 8 year old granddaughter to take care of and dee and I lost our jobs as well as one of our cars. I have found another job things are still pretty bad. Everyone here is like family and it is what sets this club apart from the rest. Thanks so much and God bless everyone. John.

Update the metal shop has caught up on their work and is going to re cut all my brackets. I will pick them up when they get them finished and drill and weld them and send them out. This will probably be the last that i will do. If you paid for a set and you do not want them let me know. When these 10 sets are gone i will not make any more. Sorry for the delay but i had to wait on the shop to re make them.

Thanks jimmy the owner of the lodge said he would rope off part of the parking garage for us to sit and work on our cars if we need to.

Well i have had all i can take of this so i have to put my 2 cents in. I was there that night and i was with jimmy i know what was said and what was threatened. Suzy is just telling a big fat lie. She told us who was on the black list and she was ready to call the cops on all of us. Furthermore after it was over and everyone had gone. She jumped on me and told me that we were NOT welcomed back then she fired my wife because of it. And as for jimmy he is a wonderful friend who is always willing to help anyone if he can. My wife and i will not bring our cars to the mountain thats just that we will be at the vacation lodge enven if i am by myself.

I looked at the rooms today one bedroom on the bottom floor and a 2 bed o the second floor and they were clean and nice looked good to me. To get the price she quoted us you have to call do not use the internet to reserve a room. I will be there with jimmy and tom

Ok let me explain about the mountain breeze so we can get past it.WE as a group are not welcome at the mountain breeze they do not want us back. That is that . I do live here so i do see all the places. the two big issues are visable parking and price. There are very few places that can accommodate our cars for the public to see. Second the price for the rooms will be over the 110 per night because of the holidays . We have a history with the vacation lodge that is why the price is what it is. I have not seen a room in 3 years but i can look tomorrow. With money tight i just think it is the logical choice my 2cents

For those who dont know it was my wife who was working at the mountain breeze when all the drama wentdown and i will not go back there. The big problem with the vacation lodge was different prices for rooms and has promised it would not happen again also prise is a big thing it was 110 per night so 75-85 is a good deal + we are not in the room much anyway. I guess someone else will have to find a place but i will never set my foot on the mountain breeze again. John

so some have been wondering what we were going to do about the pigeon forge meet for this July so I went back to the vacation lodge where we have had the meet in the past and talked to the front desk manager Kathy who has been there for over 30 years. She told me that they would love to have us back and she would give us a good rate and there are some other additions. so I will report you decide. 1. the rooms on the bottom floor (one queen bed) 75.00 per night. 2. the rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floor with a balcony (two queen beds) 85.00 per night. 3.doesn't matter what day you check in or check out you pay the same price (for those who come early or stay after the meet) 4. need to pay for the first night to hold a room. 5. they now have breakfast (biscuits and gravy, eggs, cereal, bagels, juice and coffee) 6. they have a file set up for starquest so you have to tell them to get that rate and the rooms will book fast because of the holiday. 7. the phone # are 1-800-468-1998 or 865-453-2640 and her name is Kathy. so there you have it and as far as my two cents goes I think it is a good deal. the rate is about the same as the mountain breeze + we have the parking garage to sit in or work on our cars if it rains. I think the big thing is that we as a group need to conduct ourselves in the right way for us to have respect and to show respect to the other guests as well as all of the people who come to look at our cars. if everyone likes this then it can be moved to the meeting planner and get this started and a roll call. thanks john.

update on the brackets. the welding shop that did the work for me messed up all 10 sets the holes they drilled were not offset left to right or top to bottom which makes them useless. they even had one to go by so i don't know why they did what they did it. the metal shop has been closed (shut down) for the christmas/newyears break from the 24th of dec to jan 6. so when they reopen i will have them made again and i have brought my own welder so i will drill the holes and weld in the bolts myself. sorry for the mess but i will get them done as soon as i can get them re-cut

Yes i got the money from those who paid. I took the brackets to a welder to have the bolts welded in place and he said he would work them in. I checked on them and he had not done them i will give him another day or so and if he has not welded them i will drive back to my home town and pick up my welder and do them myself. I still have 5 sets left on the first run. Thanks john

Ok here is the paypal info. MsGhost_2000@yahoo. Com

Coldscrip the only reason i said money order is that i am 2 hours away from my hometown and my bank. Just makes it easy for me but i can post paypal info if you want

If you want to see pics go to page 4 find my closed gp and go to June 29 you will find pics and info scroll down and you will see it on a bumper.

I am working out of my home town so if you want a set of brackets send me a money order to john fluce 2314b senic loop rd. Pigeon forge tn. 37863. And i will send them out as i receive the money and your address. When these are gone i should have 10 more sets ready to ship out.

ok guys i have them back again. i have made 10 sets for now so when they are gone i will make 10 more. these will be first come first serve as i don't remember who ask for them first. The price is $75.00 per set plus 5.00 for shipping. just let me know if you are interested. Thanks john

thanks that is what it needed. now it shifts great going for exhaust in the am

i got my 4g63 quest out for the first time and the clutch will not disengage enough to shift the gears. its all new and came from bill in ohio. i have bled it and it feels ok it just dont move far enough to shift. any suggestions. thanks john.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again and meeting new friends but the quest will not be there. i do not have any help to get it back together. with my messed up right leg and right wrist i just can't get the things done that i need to. i really wanted to have my car there but that is the way it goes. i might have the mighty max if i can get it going. see ya in july. john

i got the battery relocated to the rear and i am in the process of building the drive line. since i decided to go with the GM 1330 yokes which are quite a bit bigger than the sq yokes i have to redo the rear plate. ironbull i am not quite sure which tranny i have. it is a supra and i thought it was a w58 with the steel center section but my boss (which is a supra nut) says its a r154. he builds them and races them so i am not sure. exhaust is the last thing then on the road!!!

i will be in for anything that makes our cars look wicked john

transmission mount is installed now (i will get a pic this weekend) i don't like much now exhaust , drive shaft , relocate the battery, then bleed the brakes then DRIVE.
