2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Sorry gang but I was late posting this for 2018 but it will be a blast and if you've never been before, you've missed a lot. Looks like 31 May to 3 June 2018 will be the dates. :smokin:

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

I'd really like to come to this one, finally.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

I'm in again. See if we have anymore Fords to bring by then...

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Malcolm and I are in! Counting down already, once a year is not enough to see our favourite people!

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Ann always asks me if Malcom and Melissa will be there. She loves her little Canadian friends as she calls you guys. :COOL:

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Don't forget about me....I will be there too.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Of course I'll be there! I'll start getting the room block set up and then we'll be all set.

The good Lord willing..Scott and I will be there also!! We have such a great time with all of you and always look forward to it!! :orange:

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

I do. Bought a 93 GT today, just couldn't pass it up for the price. It will not make the trip to Carlisle though. It needs painted first which will not happen by then. Plan is to just drive it and enjoy it. Of course I said that about the Cobra too and that hasn't happened.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Good for you, enjoy it. I saw the picture of it you sent. Its a respectable fox body with potential.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

This could be the one we go to. I've been wanting to got to this show for a few years now, but have chickened out because of distance. I've got just over 64k miles now and I've been telling myself to stop worrying about the miles and enjoy it. I might see if I can buy a bra for the frontend, because I believe the tape you see many use will just make rock chips worse by pulling off paint lol.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Rock chips are just character. I stopped counting this year when I hit 30. Maybe it is time to repaint the bumper cover again. :frown:

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

The "I need just one more Mustang" bug has struck again.... According to Facebook I believe we'll be seeing another Mustang at Carlisle next year from another Mach 1 member.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

last year and this year, we had a Girl and her dad from IOWA and another gentleman from Kansas. and a some come from Michigan. One member comes up from South Carolina. SO, indiana isn't too bad, depending on exactly where you are. prolly 8-9 hours? guessing.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

That bug bit said person before me. They had to wait for it to be built. A little birdie told me it is already slated for mods.:gears:

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Bugs,Bugs,Bugs. I hate :anger: bugs........never mind, wrong bugs.

Rolling Sunflower......OUT.:)

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

We'll be there again...this time with 3 Mustangs... :)

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Mods? Hmmm...which of the new owners are you talking about ? Could be a couple of us.....:horse:

Exhaust on order, subframe/jacking rails on order....who knows what else :eyebrows:.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Pam and I are planning on coming next year and may have a couple more Mustang Club of Mid Michigan members with us as well. Jeff and Lori Amo will be coming with us for sure. :yeh:

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Have every intention of making it there with my Mach 1 & am talking to another Mach 1 owner in town to come along.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

That's great. Hope you can make the beer run this year... lol
Sorry missed you at the Crab Run

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

It looks like they've put out a call for Cobra Jets and Torinos for the show. This is gonna be a good one.

:borg:

Ordered this morning
2018-027 2018 Carlisle Ford Nationals Showfield :eyebrows:

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

I'm there every year. XD I just never stop by.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

The gate N go passes are on sale I believe at 20% off till Christmas/New Years I forget when the deals end. I need to buy my 3 soon....

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

You'll have to stop by and introduce yourself in 2018. We have a club tent, generally someone there all the time. You can check out some M1R gear that's usually for sale....

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Maybe I'll find someone to take my Mach1 embroidered floor mats off me finally.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Very possible. I bought a set last year from an old Mach1 buddy. Mine were very warn out, the new/used ones are now just for car shows.
Bring them over to the Club tent, someone will buy them.

In 2017 we won the cool club hangout award, although we didn't need the award to know we are a cool group of car enthusiasts.
BTW 181 days till I head to the M1R Host hotel for the Carlisle All Ford Nats 2018

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Huh, I wonder what they go for. I think mine are still never used in the plastic bags they shipped in.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Trying to remember, I believe they were $100 brand new years ago. The ones I got were like new. I believe I paid $100. from someone I know. They don't make them anymore so can kinda name a price but will need someone who wants them bad enough if your price is too high. Approximately 50 Machs are at Carlisle each year, its the best place to possibly advertise and find a buyer....

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Thanks.

I'll probably do a post of them and some AFS wheels I have that I still need to get rid of. I should probably actually clean my garage and see what all it is i need to junk or sell.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Post about it here, anyone interested could pick it up from you at the show.
What type of AFS wheels do you have? Size and style

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

2x 17x10.5 oem finish, but they suffer the clearcoat cracking issue, so probably would need to get re-painted.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Registered :gears:

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Same here...3 cars registered yesterday.:CHEERS:

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Its early but no too early.
Does anyone have any suggestions for dining on Thursday evening in 2018??
should we continue to go to TJ Rockwells, or should we eat at the place next to the hotel, Mazzonis?? Both have cold beer and good food.

What's everyone's thoughts?
TJ Rockwells
or
Mazzoni's Brick Oven pizza

I usually call after the first of the year to book the dinner.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

I think the big question would be is space. TJ's has always set us up with a table for 20+. Could Mazzonis do the same thing? I could go either way. It's the fellowship that counts. :3b:

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

I can call and ask about reservations for Mazzoni's. They had plenty of room inside.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

We would be up for either. Or, how about a new place? Black and Bleu is a restaurant in the area that says that they can handle large parties and is one of the best reviewed restaurants in the area. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaura...nsylvania.html

Since we're only an hour or so from there, we may have to take a trip down to check it out.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

I'm up for pretty much anything.
I maybe wrong but I thought last year a few people questioned why we are traveling anywhere to eat with a decent place next to the hotel... Also Thursday is a travel day for most people showing up, they may not want to travel further for food...
But again what ever the majority wants to do is fine with me. Once we can settle on a place to eat we can call and make a reservation. I think we end up with approximately 25 people for Thursday dinner.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Booked a room and ready to go! Going to Meet Tim tomorrow with the Mach’s for lunch at Hooters to watch some Playoff Football.:gears:

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

What's your thoughts on Thursday night dinner??
Go back to TJ Rockwells or go somewhere else?

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

thank you

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

Rockwell’s has always been good food and treated us well...

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

I think TJ Rockwells works. As others have said, the service and food has always been good. It is also the only time we really drive as a group. The trips to the Fairgrounds always results in 2 or 3 groups instead of one.

For those that don't really feel like driving, there are usually empty seats in most of the cars. I have no problem with people riding along.

Personally I miss the old days of finding a secluded place after dinner and having a little fun supporting the tire industry.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

^Not to derail too hard, but any details on the 93? Relatively new, no? I remember you getting the red car a while back but not a fox too. Congrats on its 25th bday, either way. It's officially classic!

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

I picked it up shortly after Carlisle last year from a friend. Bought it with the thought that my nephew would want it and for the price I couldn't pass it up.

98k originals miles, only has slight surface rust underneath. Black on Black 5spd interior is in really good shape. Seats need new foam but covers are nice. Built 8/93, have seen higher vins so it is not the last but it was built in the last 2 weeks of the Fox period. Paid $2500 with all new cooling system and brake pads/rotors and drums.

Nephew ended up not wanting it (too old) but found out it was my brother's dream car in high school. That was news to me cuz he always had T/As and Camaros. So now I am restoring it and am going to give it to him when it is done. I have done a lot so far but don't want to write a huge post on it in this thread.

Scott (MRT) is working on an exhaust system for it. Told him it has to be loud, deep, and nasty as all Foxbodies should be.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

I miss those days as well, but the areas we did that in are a bit more active these days. The area the hotel is in has really grown...

If there isn't too much more discussion about a different place for Thursday night I'll book T.J. Rockwells again.
Just want this to be about everyone and not just me.

Re: 2018 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.
 

An MRT option would be nice. Currently have a BBK X-pipe and I believe flowmasters on the 87 LX. Recently replaced the x-pipe because the area the hanger was welded to rusted and broke off.
