Intimidatoruag (John) and I are talking about having a lighted sail panel modding GTG. He has done his and showed it off at the Kalamazoo Damon's GTG last weekend. He says he can help us do the mod as he now knows how easy it is
I could have the event at my house if you all want to. If we could find a place about 1/2 way between John and I that would be great also. I am in Central Indiana and he is in Toledo, Ohio. If there is a member around Fort Wayne, Indiana that would be willing to host the GTG please post in this thread. If we do not get a volunteer by March the 10th I will start planning it for here at our home.
We would like to have this done before the Paris Landing GTG that is to be held April 30 and May 1st. If there is a weekend that you can not make it and it is something that you really want to do, post in this thread so we can get a date scheduled. I have talked to John and both he and I are free just about every weekend. I want to start the mods around 11AM to 12 noon. We can then go out to a late lunch and a small cruise.
Again, I am willing to travel a little to get this mod done so if you are in the northern third of Indiana and have a garage that we could use, please post here!
we will begin the lighted sail panel screws modding. I can get 2 Avalanches in the garage and if needed one under a carport. We can be doing at least 3 at a time. Intimidatoruag and maybe Fireeater are coming, they have both done this mod and can help us. I figure that we can do all the Avalanches that come in 3 to 4 hours at the most.
After the mods we will cruise to a local Italian restaurant. This little place is famous for its fine pizza and super roast beef sandwiches. They also have a full fair of very good Italian food but the BEST PART.........................They have a empty lot next door that they said we can hang out in! We can hang around until dark if you wish so we can admire our new mods! Some of you were at my Central Indiana Modding GTG last fall so you know that I can show you a good time!
To find my home, do a Mapquest search for Emporia, Indiana. It is just a crossroads town and the intersection that you are looking for is:
State Road 109 AND US Hwy. 36
I am the 5th house EAST of that intersection on the NORTH side of the road. It is very easy to find. If you are coming from the east OR west, just find US Hwy. 36 to my home. From the north or south take I-69 to the State Road 109 exit at Anderson Indiana and go south on 109 to US Hwy. 36 and turn left.
You can PM me and I will give you my phone number if you want it. This is going to be another FUN event! I do not have all of the goodies to give away like I did at the Central Indiana Modding GTG last fall, but it will be fun just the same! You will need to get the LED's and some wire etc. I will have a few sets from AutoZone that I can sell you for $5 a pair but pick them up yourself if you can, I don't have that many sets! Also SUPERBRIGHTLEDS Has both the 5MM and the 10MM LED bolts back in stock in red!
There will be NO DRINKING at this event so if you want to bring the family that will be fine. I found out a long time ago that working on anything with tools and drinking do not mix. We will be driving after the modding so we want everyonre to be safe! I do have a refrigerator out in the garage so feel free to bring sodas or water etc. You can bring snacks for the kids or whatever else you want to keep in the fridge.
If there is anything else that you want to do to your Avalanche while you are here, we will try to work it in but the sail panel lights will come first.
I am in the process of making 10 Swing 'N Loads. I am taking some to the Paris Landing GTG next month. If I have some of them done in time for this event, I can offer a special price if you get it installed while here, I sell them on my website for $389 and would offer to anyone coming to this event OR to the Paris Landing GTG the special price of $329. If you buy it here I will need to collect Indiana State Sales Tax of 6%. Try to let me know if you may want one, I only get a few coated with the bedliner at a time. If you want one uncoated, I guess I could sell it to you for $269 ( they charge me $60 a box to coat them) And then you could paint or powder coat to match your AV!
MOTEL INFORMATION
The best palce to stay for this GTG may be:
MOTEL 8
Daleville/Anderson Area IN
15701 W. Commerce Rd.
I-69 Exit 34
Daleville , Indiana 47334
United States
765-378-0888
This will be very close to where we will eat lunch after the mods. I checked online and the rates are $46.88 for two double or a queen bed. I have never stayed there but it looks just like all of the rest of the Super 8's and the location is ok.
There are also many motels in Anderson, Indiana at exit 26. I thought if some of you wanted to stay overnight we may cruise to breakfast on Sun Morning like we did at the Central Indiana Modding GTG. If you stay at the Daleville Super 8 it is right on the way to Muncie where we will eat breakfast. Weather permitting, we could meet there and cruise to breakfast together.
Let me know if you will be staying and I can make plans for breakfast!
