Two groups from our club in the south SF Bay Area are driving up (at least 20 As, a few moderns), one group going west along the coast and then cutting inland, another group going east across the Sierra Nevada range and then north.

Are they going to meet up with the SCRG group going up from San Diego?

Not intentionally, but it looks like the last couple of days coincide.

ModelA29 - Would you please pm me with the contact info for the group leader, so I can coordinate? Thanks.

Was there a particular reason to pick Pendleton? Just curious.....

Thanks

Re: 2026 MAFCA National Convention
 

They stepped up and offered to host. Ed Tolman said the hardest part of the job was getting people to volunteer to host national events. It's a multi year process and requires a lot of commitment.
Want one in your back yard? Get a group of 40-50 people together and host it.

Re: 2026 MAFCA National Convention
 

All the info and contacts are in the linked PDF

Re: 2026 MAFCA National Convention
 

Sorry, I missed that the first time I read the document.

Re: 2026 MAFCA National Convention
 

I will be there to give a seminar on the New Engine, which is being donated as a raffle prize. Bring questions to the seminar and money for raffle tickets.

Re: 2026 MAFCA National Convention
 

Can I get a rough estimate of people that may attend a get together at a pizza joint or pub? This way I can try and reserve a room for mon/tues/wed.

Thank you,

Mike

Re: 2026 MAFCA National Convention
 

My wife & I are going, and would be willing to join in a pizza/pub get together...

Re: 2026 MAFCA National Convention
 

OK, I have a room reserved for 1800 on June 1st at Big John's Pizza. It is close by to the convention center. I told her from 6-12 people. Obviously all Barners are welcome, Sound Good? Anyone from the convention is welcome really, FAST, Ford Barn etc.

I spent quite a bit of time there in the state prison! As a contractor, not a resident:D. It is a great city with much to do, good choice.

Re: 2026 MAFCA National Convention
 

What about us once in a while Ford Barners?
Yeah We met in Long Beach.

Here's another good reason to go to Pendleton - Free shipping on parts from Burtz Block. Purchase any parts/engines, etc. at least 30 days prior to the convention and they'll ship it to you for pick up at the event at no charge. It's a fair amount of savings and you get it right then.

Where is that like button?

Re: 2026 MAFCA National Convention
 

my work was kind enough to advance a massive project by four months, fund it, and cancel everyone's time off.
have fun without me, take pictures!

Re: 2026 MAFCA National Convention
 

Terry also does a seminar. I'd love to see someone take delivery assemble, install it and drive home. It would blow the MAFFI first start videos into the weeds.

Re: 2026 MAFCA National Convention
 

I almost considered that - but then the impatient me who had a lot of front end work to do anyway decided to just pay the piper and order it now. "new" front crossmember, kingpins, spindle bushings, brakes, wheel bearings, front spring/shackles, front perches all underway and will be a lot easier with no engine. Then I will drop the burtz in and enjoy that smoothness and fruits of my labor all the way there and back!! Short block and all the goodies are inbound and I can't wait! :cool: My flywheel, flywheel housing, oil pump, clutch/disk, and other bits have arrived within the last few days.

I have a good start on all the front end work listed - but its going to be a BUSY 6 weeks! :eek:

Re: 2026 MAFCA National Convention
 

There is a good Rolling Bones video on Tubi. They build street rods and go to Bville each year.
Their comment that the customers new car is usually finished by the time they arrive in Utah (from NY) is very fitting for anyone that has done extensive mods or a full build.
