Columbus, Ohio Good-Guys Nats - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

NitroMike · 07-07-2007, 08:43 PM

I'm heading out for the 10th Annual Good-Guys Nationals in Columbus, Ohio on this Thursday, July 12th.

This is an absolutely awesome show. Hot Rods of all types up to '72.

Anybody else heading that way and want to travel together? I'm at the eastern end of PA and will probably be heading out via the PA Turnpike. Let me know.

I live just outside of Columbus and am planning on visiting the show. If you want to meet up sometime at the show, just pm me you phone # and I will call you when I am there.

Ditto for me - I trying to get the truck ready to take to the goodguys.
Had to tear off the oil pan and replace it and the rear main seal - again. This time I bought a good oil pan. After that we still need to finish the rear brakes, I think the proportianing valve went offcenter when I replaced the rear end.

ProStreet68SB · 07-08-2007, 12:39 AM

I'll be there with my dad(1968SWBBigBlock) saturday and if he doesnt have his truck there, I'm gonna beat him and get it done so we can take it.

SCOTI · 07-08-2007, 03:55 AM

I'll be flying in Friday morning to meet up w/my buddies from the 'Stoked Out Specialties' shop. I really enjoyed this show last year when I went w/the shop but this year life intervened & I just couldn't make the road trip w/them.

But..... I said WTH, that's what's great about air travel. What took 16~18hrs last year will only take 2.5hrs this year

. Although, I won't have the great stories that you get when traveling w/a 'motley crew'

.

NitroMike · 07-08-2007, 07:26 AM

Maybe we can pick a spot to meet on Saturday. Any thoughts?

NitroMike · 07-08-2007, 02:58 PM

Anybody else going?

1968SWBBigBlock · 07-08-2007, 10:23 PM

I'll be there Thursday thru Sunday with the ambulance. I rented a storage room across from the host hotel. It's cheaper than driving there and back for four days.

You can't miss me, I'm sure I'll be the only one there in a giant turquoise lowered GMC Ambulance.

Thursday night there is a get-together at the host hotel (Crown Plaza off of Busch Blvd.). Usually a lot of people go back there after the Goodguys show at the fairgrounds every night. If you want to see some cool vehicles but don't want to fight traffic or pay parking/admission, go to the Crown Plaza after the fairground show hours. It's still bigger/better than most other car shows.

*CORRECTION* The Marriott is now the Crown Plaza - same hotel, different name. You take Busch Blvd to Doubletree, and Doubletree dead-ends into the hotel parking lot. Always a lot of people/cars there after 5:00PM. There is an early get-together on Thursday night, and a band playing Friday night - possibly saturday night too.

maybe I missed it, but I can't seem to find anything in the south east? i'd love to do a swap meet/show down here some time!

Longhorn Man · 07-09-2007, 04:39 AM

Mike... James... Count me in for thursday.. .where is it?

Longhorn Man · 07-09-2007, 05:39 AM

After thinking...I may not be able to do this... I'll have to check a couple things.
Count me in unless I say I can't do it.

1969C/10 · 07-09-2007, 06:25 AM

Gotcha Andy! Sure hope you can make it, it's a great show. I plan on going Saturday and Sunday.

Alvin · 07-09-2007, 10:54 AM

I'm planning on going Saturday and Sunday.

I'll keep an eye out for where we'll get together.

68c-10 · 07-09-2007, 11:40 AM

I am going but I am driving down my Gremlin, unless something happens to the gremmy between now and thursday morning when we leave. I would still like to meet up with you guys and see the trucks that will be there. I am staying off of 161.

Longhorn Man · 07-09-2007, 09:32 PM

won't be able to do it guys. My son would be bored outta his mind, and that leads to huge arguments with the ex. (long story) I'd ove to meet up with everyone for breakfast maybe... there's a real cool retro diner on W.broad street, easy to get to, cheap food, great eats... I'm sure Jim knows about Tommy's diner.
Let me know what y'all think, I'll get an addy posted.

Like I said, hit up the host hotel (or any hotel in Columbus, for that matter, they're all full of cars). It's free, you can see a bunch of world-class rods, and you can come and go whenever you want.

wyatt earp · 07-09-2007, 10:02 PM

awesome meatwagon 7t2. i am going to try and make it on either sat or sun. it's only about an hour north of here. hope to meet a few of y'all if i can make it.

cajundragger · 07-11-2007, 10:07 AM

We'll be making the long trip with our wagon. Its a '62 bel air bagged on 18's and 20's.

68c-10 · 07-11-2007, 11:53 AM

Well if you see this car say hi. And I will do the same for the other cars posted here so far.
