    We can do a mini meet. Make it a driving event. Cruz to some interesting spots like a local MFG.(Moon, Edelbrock, So.Cal., etc). Hit Petersen, NHRA and maybe a day at the drags or? Hey Car Craft can do there Un-run why cant we put together an informal round up, stampede, or just herd them together for a cruz night. Mavericks Gone Wild or Maverick Mossy along or sumthin. Tie it in with someone elses event.

    Cool, I can organize it if no one eles wants. I do it for the Falcon club and have for other groups.

    I have a Falcon club cruz to Petersen set for some time in February or we do a Bob's Big Boy Cruz night in April at the Taluca Lake Bob's on a Saturday night so we can get a place to park in the car hop section or we can go to Angelo's in Anaheim or that fifties place in Industry or heck even Carney's on the Sunset Strip. We can Do this! The possibilities are endless.

    hotrodbob-Okay, you take the lead & I'll follow. I'll lend a hand if you need it. I think we talked about Bob's at Taluca Lake before. I've taken the Mav there once before. Fun place...Lots of hot rods. We just need the weather to hold this time of year.

    That's why I do the Falcon Cruz there in April. We did it in the past on St. Patty's day, but it was too cold and we got rained out last year. This will be our 4th annual Bob's cruz. I will post it here in March so we can plan it out. Since it's a Saturday night thing (not the regular cruz night Friday) we can make it happen. We had over 20 Falcons last time. Add Mavericks and we should top 30 or more and take over the car hop section. I'll set up a Poker Walk and get some goodies as well.

    This is gonna be fun!!!!!

    Thanks guys. I'm really happy with my Mav. Your support helps too. No one in my family wants to be caught in the car. No taste!

    After looking at the photo I kinda liked it lowered like that, but I got tired of bottoming on driveways, so last weekend I took out the 1" lowering blocks in the rear and put new coils up front with one coil cut off. It came up a bit and I will be adding 15" wheels and taller tires soon. It is still lower then stock, but just not that low any more. I had a flat last month and couldn't get the floor jack under it so I kinda had to raise it up a bit.

    Ok guys I bit the bullit. I just ordered Magnum 500's. 15X7 in chrome. It was a toss up between Stockton wheels TQ or the Magnums. I saw this kid driving a Grabber blue '72 and stopped him. Those magnums looked GREAT.

    I'll update ya when I get them. They were not in stock so they are building them. Talked to Frank at Stockton Wheel- 800-395-9433 or you can go to his website which is cool at: http://stocktonwheel.com/

    He was great. Knew what I wanted. Knew the offset right off his head and was super on the phone.

    Here is what was the second choice. I have these on my Ranchero, but alloy is tuffer to keep looking good so I went with the Magnums. Besides they almost look stock.
