Arrow Hey Iowa II

OK so this is the new Iowa thread. As of right now we are thinking of having a meet, and sometime in June was mentioned. I think we should have another cruise personally. The last time we all had a cruise I had a great time and I am sure the rest of the guys did also that went. Also I personally feel that we should just go to some fast food joint to eat, instead of grilling or whatever.

Side note: Blade - 2 words, Raspberry Bounce... YES! (no excuses this time)

Also, since you didnt return my call (Im not THAT big of an ******* man...ok maybe I am lol) when do you want your compression tester back? Im breaking her in fast and hard, 6 grand is kickin ***, I am sure 7 will be better. 350 miles so far.

I can probably work some stuff in. What all parts do you want done and what parts of those would you need really soon?

Lookin good man, needs a bit of feathering on the top area of your fill. Other than that looks good!

Steve - I can do that stuff. What color would you want? Chrome again or something a lil crazier? I have some real nice candy blue (called lollipop blue) that Im not using for anything. I dont have anything done in it but can show you some pics of other peoples work if needed. May I also suggest doing your pullies in Matte Black. Looks good and is a nice "its clean but not flashy" color.

Zeke - Got any good lower door hinges? Mine are both messed up but the driver side is considerably worse.

Edit: What do you guys think about the 21st or 27th? I think either of these would give everyone enough time to get time off, find a babysitter, or call in sick lol.

Yea, maybe if its later in the month, I can possibly have a running car. Doubtful, but I can try. The first weekend is the only one that really doesn't work for me. Later is better.
