Hi Everyone in Region II,

It is going to be official after work tomorrow when I install my ambers, I wanted to get them in on Sunday, but I spent way too much time looking for bolts that I could use to install my running boards. I did my research and found out that 8m 1.25 were the bolts to get, but when I went out to the parking lot and hand tested the fit, they didn't fit. The 8m 1 didn't even start. I tried 5/16 which also didn't fit, but they did start. Finally I took my phone and looked inside the bolt holes, turns out that someone used loc-tite to install boards previously, and nothing would have hand tightened. After running around for 5 hours (I got car care products and my ambers as well) I finally got home with the goods, but it was too late. Today I got under the truck and replaced the filler neck hose and filler neck vent hose, and tomorrow I will get home from work and start represent'n  (y) I have been on the lookout for any other Avys running reds, but I have not seen any (yet). There are lots of Avy owners in my part of town, I met someone when I was under the truck fitting bolts at lowes even (because us avy owners like to park next to each other).

Are there any active members in Clarksville TN, Oak Grove KY or Fort Campbell? Maybe Bowling Green or Nashville (I spend my Saturday at the junk yards in Nashville looking for seats, and I am sure I will be back up there a few more times looking for the goods)? It would be great if there are active GTG someplace close by, even if it just a few members at a local bowling alley or someone's garage for a mod/repair day. I hope to hear from all the folks on the border.

Take care everyone!
 
Hey Noob, I'm over that way sometimes. I'm thinking about doing the Corvette museum in Bowling Green sometime this summer.

Sweet, if you do and you want to make it a group trip, let me know.

Take care,
