Default Dearborn 2018 Grand National Meet

Who all is planning to attend the Early Ford V-8 Club of America Grand National Meet next year in Dearborn, MI?

I plan to bring two or three cars myself. Just as a side note, if you register before October of this year you get a chance at a free set of Coker tires. You can download the Early Registration form at 2018gnm.com or at efv8.org

I will be there as usual lots of the same people usually show. Hope to bring my 32 if I can get it running and all the flat tires to hold air.

I'm looking to make it and maybe meet up with some Ford Barn folks along the way. The 39 P/U should have a nice grill on her by then. Scott

I just sent mine in. By some miracle it does not conflict with my company's annual meeting next year. Now all I need to do is get the car done. Be real cool to drive it out there. Of course I said that about Tahoe, Gettysburg and Chantilly..... fingers crossed.

Me. my wife, Dad & Mom are hoping to attending.....we have only planned on about 3 or 4 of the last Eastern Nationals, one Central and the Grand National at Tahoe only to have to back out not having "The" car ready that we have wanted to bring....its been a 6 year saga and every time I have felt there is a light at the end of the tunnel its been a false hope!!!! One would think that by June of next year a top could get made and put on and bumpers, door handles, window winders and the car started could get accomplished....BUT at this point I still will not commit!!!

You don't have to bring a car to have a good time. I'll guarantee other club members will let you hitch a ride in their V8 when you are there.

It's always more fun when you can bring a car, I know. Hopefully we can meet up at a national meet sometime. When you go write your fordbarn handle on your EFV8 Club name badge. We have some good times in the evenings kicking back with barners and a few cold beers.
