Indiana & Surrounding BYC Meetup August 1st, 2009

Aww i am so jealous asylum, I really miss baby chicks around here!
You have a beautiful little hatch!

lildinkum-What in the world is a GW run?
I have a 63 Chrysler I want to restore, does that count? I am not really a typical girly girl, I rebuilt my first motor when I was about 13 and raced dirt bikes from 7-14. Learned how to drive a stick at 10. Dunno if that makes me a girly girl or just a wanna be

Don't worry I didn't take offence to the wicker, I was only funnin with ya! Just wish I had your luck!!!!

Seeing how my FAV car of ALLTIME was my old 63 Chrysler Imperial, I'd say that counts. She was too far gone to be restored, so I saved her 413 and 727 Torqueflite, some brand new rear leaf springs. My prize now is my 1960 Desoto Adventurer with a 383 Golden Lion. And I have a 64 New Yorker Wagon. That wagon was owned by a state trooper who took it over 130 mph. I'd say you have a REAL CAR!
I still have four 413's, two 383 Golden Lions, a 354 POWERGIANT ( that is another of my many handles ), 331 Hemi water pump engine that emptied a pond twice. Yeah I am a Chrysler boy.

Oh my goodness, I have an Imperial!!!!!! I love the push button gears, push forward door locks and the huge steering wheel but the best is the motor! My grandpa ordered it new when he worked for Chrysler and retired in 63. That car means a lot to me but more than anything, it meant a lot to him! It needs body work but I would sooo love to restore it. It's not worth much but to me it's priceless!

 

[lildinkem]

AWESOME!!! Yes, I took it's push button mechanism too. The cool rear mirrors that mount on the front next to the hood. Doors handles are cool, to lock them you push it forward. Gotta love the 5 and 1/2 foot bench seat. And how about speedometer, the arrow that changes colors the faster you go.
I took mine up to 135 mph on the way to a NIN concert in Muncie, back in the olden days. Not bad for a 5,000 lbs car. 390 HP, which translates in the real world near 500 HP. That is why I kept ALL of the 413's. Love the Wedge! A drag racers dream engine. Sorry GM boys.

 

[Schultz]

Ahhhhhh! NIN and Chrysler, what a dream day!!! Well, it's official, you are my go to guy for my car! My car is complete and ran the day my grandpa parked it for the last time in the very early 80's!
I hope to bring it home after the Chickenstock so I can work on it. Believe it or not, the interior is mint! My granny covered the seats in bubble plastic which preserved it well! DH has a Hemi truck and we love it but it's not the same as the good ol days!!!

 

[lildinkem]

Todays Hemi is virtually the same as my 354.
Except it, I believe, is sleeved cylinders. And Aluminum. On mine you can go 130 over on an engine rebuild. Or another words, you will die before you wear out those 354's.
My Ford truck has thick slip covers, that has preserved the seats.
Heck, I am jealous of your Imperial. That is the year I was born. You don't need, do you?
Just kiddin.

Yep, I'm working on more people!

This will be the biggest chickenstock BYC has seen!!

 

[shelleyd2008]

Just a heads-up, I am looking for an OEGB rooster in blue, black, or splash, preferably splash or blue.
Also looking for a dutch rooster in the same colors.
And I'm now looking for a white silkie rooster. Bearded or non, doesn't matter.
Also interested in narragansett turkey poults....I only have 1, and don't want to have mixes. Baby turkey needs a couple of buddies!

I will be bringing button quail, probably all that I'm not keeping, since they don't take up much room. I will probably be bringing some coturnix quail as well, youngsters mostly, some are POL, some will be about 3 weeks old.

The only chickens I'm currently bringing are a mottled bantam cochin for AC, and a pair of mottled bantam cochins.

I should have some young BTW japanese chicks as well. I mean very young, like a week or two old.

I have many more chickens available, and might bring some others, depending on how much room there is in the car.

Yay!!! Everytime I look I get more excited! Free OEGB roos to anyone who wants to pick them up at the Fair lol.
