That would be great if you could get yours together and make it to the show.
 
Gotta lot of work to do, but give it hell attitude.
Never know what can happen, if all else fails lost of pics and stories!!!

The sanding, paint and more sanding seems to be the biggest hurdle. Putting it together shouldn't be too bad. Sounds like you have most of the small pieces done.

I know you, even if your car isn't done we will still see you. LOL I'll make sure I have something for you to drink. ;)
 
Count me in! Already registered, I'll be over with the C body parking, but you know I'll always stop in. Gonna bring some more beer for our out of state beer exchange!

Thanks for the link! I hadn't seen that. Looks like they grabbed it when we were cruising around.

Been reading this thread and talked to the boss about dragging the car up. Looked at the show's on-line schedule and looks like a good time. How many cars do they get??

Great show! Where are you from (I see Kansas) and what do you drive? Lots of A Bodies there.
Off their website: Midwest Mopars in the Park is our annual event. It is the largest all Mopar show in the upper Midwest, and is our biggest undertaking. In 2017 we had over 9000 spectators, 1469 cars, and over 150 swap/vendor spaces.

That would be great if you could come!

I'll post some pictures of the FABO group and A Body cars. Just some random shots.

It's the third largest Mopar show in the country, behind Carlisle and the Nationals.

Any sign companies around?
 
I tried a guy that does lettering and signs he didn't want to do it then said he would try but not going to guarantee they would be on straight ,,,, and wants 300-400$ to do it ,he just doesn't want to do it I guess,

Check with MobileCustoms (a member that posted a few posts above) He does that stuff for a living. His van he pictured is a wrap. He is around the Minneapolis area. May be you could come a day early and he could put them on at his shop. Just a thought.

Ok for you that have done both....the boss and I are planning to go to Carlisle this summer. Is that a show and shine, or a car show?? I can't seem to get a read on it. I found this show, it is a car show, a day less driving, and pics look like you have a heck of a time. And you have a "bring your local beer" tasting event...really?? Sounds like a great time. Need to decide like this weekend, and look for a room. No camping for my better half. A year in Iraq, she said no more camping...lol!!

Farmington is a big car show with divisions for all Mopar models. The A body guys get together for a meet and greet and yes there is usually some refreshments involved. I might have to bring some home brewed beer along to share. Here's a link. Scroll down to the car show galleries for photos of the event.

As toolmanmike said above, we have our own "tasting", nothing linked to the hosting club. Bring some beer specific to Kansas if you'd like, and try (and maybe even take home) some beers from Minnesota and Wisconsin. I don't know what Illinois had to offer, a co-worker said IL doesn't have any good beer, maybe the members there know something about it.

The car show is the largest Mopar show west of the Mississippi, essentially the third largest show after Carlisle, and the Nationals. I attend every year and have met many great folks, it's always a fun time.
