Modlguy Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Show rods and showroom stock. Plus a web theme you can find at the site. Thousands of models on display and many of the posters from this board. Plus the hobby's best aftermarket vendors in one place. Donn Yost, Jimmy Flintstone, Don Holthaus, Matt Wells, Bob Korunow- too many to name. I'm told Slixx will be there this year. Don't forget the Friday night get-together at the Cheeseburger In Paradise adjacent to the hotel. It's been known to generate a laugh or two. We may even be honored by a certain magazine editor who has been know to show up in the past. How can you resist? http://www.nnleast.com/cover_2012.jpg
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 I can't Reserved my room at The Wayne Ramada weeks ago. If any model show is worth a seven hour drive each way, this is it.
Ramfins59 Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Barring any unforseen circumstances I DO believe that I will be there... I'm looking forward to another GREAT Show and to seeing so many great modeling friends again (and maybe making some more new ones). I know I'll be visiting a few of the AWESOME vendors and will be going home with some great buys, some priceless memories and hopefully a lot of inspiration for my next builds.
Art Anderson Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Vacation time all lined up, hotel room reserved, airline tix bought.
FASTBACK340 Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 EIGHT WEEKS !?!?!?!?! Jeeeeezzz.... I was hoping to get something done. We've had an unbelievably rough month of February and model building was way-down on the priority list. Either way, NNL East is,relatively speaking, in my backyard and I've only missed about 6 since it started. It's a must-see event. Amy & myself are looking forward to seeing you Rich, along with everyone else I haven't seen, or met yet. It's always a great day out.
peter31a Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Motel is booked. Vacation day booked (for travel to event). Looking forward to it!
Dave Wood Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) As Usual I'll be at the Model Car Hospital at the end of the Club Table, so if anything gets knocked loose during the Trip stop by, If they made it Intact Stop by anyway just to say Hey! See ya There. Dave Edited February 26, 2012 by Dave Wood
Tommy Kortman Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Wouldn't miss it. The hotel is booked, and I will be putting in for the vaca time this week. I have something for the Show rod theme, but not too much for showroom stock. I hear that table will be in the parking lot anyway. LOL! Looking forward to seeing a lot of people again!
Drgon63 Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 got the hotel booked and ready to enjoy good friends, vendors, more good friends, more vendors... and the great memory's and inspiration that comes with it all.... Tom
Prostreet Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 I really wanted to go this year because i have never been to a show, But it is 2-1/2 hour drive, bummer.
kenb Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Joe, a 2-1/2 hour drive isn't so bad. Get someone or a couple of guys to go with you. This way you'll have company and you could split up the cost. It's really worth it. Try and go. Ken
Austin T Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Would love to go and see a NNL show,but being 15 and in TN there in no way I can try and convince my father to drive that far for a model show.
peter31a Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Gee, I have a 2 hr drive just to attend a regular club meeting. NNL East is about a 10 hr drive but well worth it.
Dirkpitt289 Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 I live about an hour away and have every intention of being there. This will be my first time.
FASTBACK340 Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Years ago I used to drive from NYC to Baltimore, Md, meet up with friends from Md./Pa. and continue out to Toledo. Only did it twice, but well worth the experience. If there's any way you can get out here....do it. It's well worth the experience. On average, over 1,500 models. Yeow-za!
Ramfins59 Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 I really wanted to go this year because i have never been to a show, But it is 2-1/2 hour drive, bummer. My buddy Tom V. is driving up to me on Thursday(I live just north of Pittsburgh) from Hendersonville, NC (That's a 7 hour drive). Then on Friday we drive to the NNL hotel in NJ (That's roughly another 6 hour drive.) Then on Sunday, we'll leave NJ and be driving back to Tom's place in NC (That's roughly another 10 hour drive.) So, yeah, we'll be in the car for awhile... but IT'S ALL WORTH IT...!!!
meaneyme Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 I finished a 65 Impala but added rally wheels, would this still be considered factory stock?
VW Dave Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 How can you resist? I can't resist, plain and simple....I'll be there again this year, along with Matt T.
Tom Kren Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Looks like im not going to make it this year but theres always next year! Have fun Guys!!!
Jeff Johnston Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 My room is booked and look forward to seeing everyone in the lobby of the Ramada on Friday afternoon.
