[LVCamaro]

Dr Adams will be there in his bouncer uniform too, I bet. :lolhit:

You mean Lillard? Don't know if he'll make it, or not...LOL

[camcojb]

You mean Lillard? Don't know if he'll make it, or not...LOL

No, don't mean Charley!:eek: He'll try but may have a concert he said, wasn't sure what day it was and his wife isn't home to tell him!:willy:

Jody

[Stuart Adams]

Steve, looking forward to it. Any new toys in the Rod Shop. No car at SEMA to babysit this year so I should be on time!! :thumbsup:

[LVCamaro]

Then it's Hillary and Laura, I guess. :cool:

[XcYZ]

Then it's Hillary and Laura, I guess. :cool:

What room? :_party:

[LT1Powered85Z]

Scott: Thanks for the heads up email. I appreciate it.

Count me in for now, although I'm not sure what my schedule is going to look like until I get there. Hopefully that's alright.:) I'd love to make it again this year. Last year was a good time. Lots of cool stuff to see.:D

Thanks again, Steve, for hosting this little gathering.:thumbsup:

Eric

[Scotch]

As my Amigo above stated, we will do our best to make it. It should be no prob...we'd love to be there and will again say thanks in advance for the hospitality and the invite.

Scott~!

[XcYZ]

I know you two have busy schedules that week, but it would cool to have you guys stop by.

I added both of you to the list. :)

[Ricochet]

No doubt I will be there once again.!! Met some great people & had a blast!! Look forward to it again. Count me in for me +3.

Thanks for the hospitality once again Steve!!

[camcojb]

Add Ross to the list Scott; he's going to be hanging with us a bit at SEMA.


Jody

[zbugger]

If I do make it, which may be doubtful (I'm not sure yet), you're lucky Jody. I'd be your main competition at the buffet table. And people would see what an evil eye really is if there were wings...... :_paranoid

[Autokraft]

Scott,

I am planning the Sema trip again and would like to stop by and meet some of the folks from the site. Sounds like fun.
Put me down for two.

My Fiance (Shawna) is coming along.


Kurt

[camcojb]

Dennis (DjD) +3 will be attending.

Jody

[Novaguy65]

Hey Scot,

Another Minnesotan is planning on being there. My business partner and I will be there!

Greg
Andrew

[chucks73]

I will be at SEMA and would like to join in. If you don't mind a couple of new guys.

Chucks73 +1

[XcYZ]

I added all you guys to the list.

Novaguy, where in MN are you?

[rwhite692]

Scott- Jeff and I don't get in until a bit later on Wed nite but if we can catch an earlier flight, we will.

[clill]

I'll be there early and so will Stielow. Also Ken Tibor...... Too bad all the food will be gone by the time you guys get there....

[Stuart Adams]

Hey Steve, put out the blender and the AARP menu for Charley when he arrives early!!

[clill]

Yeah....I gotta be in bed by 8:30...... :willy:

[Stuart Adams]

I'll try and get there early also, maybe that Z07 will be there... :unibrow: :unibrow:

[Novaguy65]

Scott,

I am in a small town 25 miles west of Mankato. I am in the early stages of my '65 Nova rebuild. This time it is going to be crazy. Full chassis-full C4 suspension, and the Coup de' grace- the drivetrain........should I tell you??:P I am building a 4200 Vortec inline 6 to between 500-600 HP. Undecided on the tranny yet-but would like to go 6 speed. Kris is working on a rendering for me. My company(me) is actually building the car. Your car is gorgeous-can't wait to finally meet some of the guys from here and PT.com. We should try and get together and bench race some time so I can drool over your car.

Greg

[clill]

Add Fred Phillips to the list along with Pete and Repete. :P

[Mean 69]

Yeah....I gotta be in bed by 8:30......

That's 8:30 AM right? It is Vegas after all!

Sounds like a great time, is it possible to add three more to the fun? I'd like to attend, as well as Matt and Katz, if it's not too late. We will be at the PT dinner the following night, but last year I think I got to talk to about 25% of the folks I wanted to meet. Finger food and mingling will make it a bit easier to make the rounds!

Hey Greg,

[LVCamaro]

After weeks of interviewing, today I hired the 4 "ladies" to help greet, hostess and bartend the open house. :_paranoid Stu...if my wife calls, tell her I left already...LOL

SS

[Kris Horton]

Gee Steve, that must be a grueling, painful process....I feel for you.

[ProdigyCustoms]

Were in, but probably right after the show ends for the day.
Frank, Michael and Andrew

[Nutsy]

Are we gonna have name tags with our internet alias' on it??

[Huxsol81]

Hey Scott, can you patch me a live feed to my house since I wont be able to make the party... lol

I want to know who the true King of the Buffet is :_paranoid

[XcYZ]

I want to know who the true King of the Buffet is :_paranoid

Just kidding, of course, but to answer your question...YES!! X4
SS

[Stuart Adams]

[camcojb]

Looks to be 94 or so. Should be a blast! 21 days.....

Jody

[XcYZ]

Because of the number of people that are going to be here, Steve has decided to move it to a larger building on the Sandlin Lumber facility. Last year, we were in the 4,000 sq. ft. Rod Shop, but this year, we get a 25,000 sq. ft. building so there will be plenty of room. Steve tells me there will be quite a few cars to check out inside the building. Maybe I'll just let Steve tell us what's all going to be there. :thumbsup:

I'll be posting an aerial shot of the Sandlin Lumber facility shortly, it will show you guys which entrance to use and which building we'll be in. Trust me, it will be super easy and it's only a little over a half mile from the Strip. :)

[clill]

How about zooming out so we can see where it is in relation to the the big hotels....

[LVCamaro]

will do, but it'll be tomorrow...my puter skills only work M-F, 8-5...

My office window view is the Mandalay Bay Hotel/Casino, 1 mile east of my desk.

[CarlC]

Much gras Jody.

[BC69]

I knew Area 51 Existed...and I knew you could find it on Google World!! ;)

Have a great time everyone!!!

[XcYZ]

Here's a city map with the lot map overlayed. We encourage everyone that's attending to print both of the maps in this thread. I'll start a new thread just so everyone gets the message.

[LVCamaro]

cool...thanks Scott!

[Jimi-FM3]

Hey guys,

Count me in plus 2 - I'm looking forward to seeing you all there.

Jimi Day

[907rs]

I can't wait!! :dance: :cheering: :dance:

How many of your cars will be there, Steve?

[LVCamaro]

dunno for sure...I have 5-6 out right now and trying to get at least 3 of them back home in time. :willy:

I'll have a few of my cars and some local cars on display, plus my friend Ron will be bringing 5-6 cars from his museum/collection in metro-Phoenix. LOL...you may remember Ron was the guy that bought 50 cars at B-J Scottsdale, 2004. :eek:

[XcYZ]

This is going to be a huge event, it's a good thing Steve has a 25,000 sq. ft. facility to work with! :thumbsup:

[Click]

Looking forward to meeting alot of you at the party. I will leave the snow back in Minnesota too.

[XcYZ]

You bet, Stuart. Steve has also invited a few Vegas locals, so the number of people should be impressive. Quite a few companies have offered to throw in door prizes, so that will be cool, and I'm also looking forward to hearing the Sonny Leonard motor fired up inside the building. :thumbsup:

[kennyd]

Just got this email from the folks at V8TV , so you guys need to behave [and wear a clean shirt].
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi Steve, we plan on being at your SEMA open house with cameras probably after 5 PM. It will be Kevin Oeste(producer), his wife Kelle, drag race stud/host Nick Scavo and myself. There may be 1 more guy named Graham. That would be 5 total.

John Gust
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jody/Scott...please add the above names/company to the guest list.

Got it, Steve. This is turning out to be quite the event!

I think I know what Poster is gonna have to be hanging on the wall when you first enter the building!!! Its only fair to thank the guys that coordinated it!!!! And to think it could be Filmed.


Have fun guys!!!!!

We'll fix you up in Vegas Bill!

Jody

[XcYZ]

We have 153 people signed up as of now, so I made 200 name tags. I think that should be enough...

[LVCamaro]

plus the 35-40 from LV that you don't know about...

[XcYZ]

I knew there were some locals coming, but I didn't realize it was that many. I'll make more. :thumbsup:

[68protouring454]

i may have missed it but will there be a tip box or donation box to help with the costs of the party? i am sure there would be plenty of people willing to throw some money in, i know i would like to, can't wait to get to vegas!!!
jake

[rwhite692]

Scott- Jeff and I land at 9:45, I'll call you and if the shindig is still going on, we'll head over.

jake

This one's on me, boyz...but I told the 4-5 ladies tending the bar/buffet it was okay if they had a tip-jar. They're being paid handsomely, so no need to make a big deal out of their tip-jar. Interestingly...they're all unmarried [presently] and claim they don't scare easy!

I parked 30 cars in the warehouse/party room today, plus I'll have my two drag racing cars in place tomorrow morning 6:30 AM. My favorite section of the display is the 6 Corvettes, but you'll see a wide spectrum of stuff including original unrestored GM muscle cars thru a couple purdy nasty protouring and notorious street rods. Still have a day's worth of decorating to do tomorrow, then Wednesday morning I meet the Brinks truck at the beer store. If you have a preference in brand of beer, bring it...otherwise you get your choice of the 5 brands I plan to provide, complimentary. There'll also be plenty of finger foods, wine, soft drinks, bottle water and coffee plus tables/seating for 185, give or take.

In recap...Free food & beer, 32 car display, 5 barmaids, a couple hundred gearheads...God Bless America!! :thumbsup:

SS

[Stuart Adams]

Wow Steve, that is incredible. To put on this party on you is unbelievable, I think all of us wanted to donate to the cost somehow. Six corvette= ZO6 :unibrow: :unibrow:

Thank God they replant trees!!!!

Steve,

Once again thanks for the hospitality. This is no doubt going to be a great event. Look forward to seeing all you guys & gals (if there are any??) Wednesday or sooner, just hopefully not in jail by weeks end. I can read the headlines now...Lat-G group arrested after chaos breaks out at stripclub!! :eek:

[Bill Howell]

Great party, Thanks again Scott, Jody, and everyone that helped with everything. It is so good to put so many faces with these names we see everyday. :thumbsup:

Steve, all I can say is WOW, what a nice collection of cars. I asked several there if you offered someone their pick, which would they choose. Not many could pick one true favorite. For me it would have to be either the 409 car or the blue COPO. Of course I would have to fight SW over the COPO-LOL
You are truely a class act and I was very impressed with all the work you and your staff did to make the event a hit. Thanks again.

Wow, what a collection of cars, and what a party. Steve obviously spared no expense and invested a ton of time to throw this deal. Steve, your a hell of a friend to the lateral G community, and I speak for all when I say Thank You for your hospitality. And that one blond waitress sure had some nic................
Well, anyway, lots of nice cars and people there

[907rs]

[Boxer]

Hi all,

Was great to meet some of you at Steve's shop last night. Big thanks to Scott and Steve for having me and my buddy Jay (the photographer guy) along there. As I mentioned to Scott, I'll try getting on here alot more as I'm hopefully staying out here and will be looking for some kind of gas guzzler to keep me busy.

Jay took a stack of photos, so I'll send Scott the link and he can put them on the site.

Out of the last two replys all I saw was blah blah blah blah pics then the next one was blah blah blah chicks with bolt ons.....you guys are doing this on purpose aren't you? lol

[Stuart Adams]

Go to the Yenko site for pics. Scott will sure post pics when he gets back this weekend. No BS, this party was FANTASTIC.

CHEZOOM is one Bad Ass ride.
The new Z06 was cool to see in person, among all the other great cars.

I have a few party pics, but don't know how to post them on this site. BTW, Laura was unanimously voted best bolt-ons... :yes:

Ahh, Laura! You had to have been there!!!! :eek: :thumbsup: :D

Wow, what an EVENT!! The turnout was huge (easily 230+ people) and there were some damn cool cars to check out.

This EVENT woudn't have happened without Steve, Jason, and the rest of the Sandlin Lumber crew. They put in some long hours and some serious work to get the building setup, cars on display, all the tables and carpet, etc. It was truly special - you don't get to see cars like that all in one building.

Thanks again, Steve. It was without a doubt the highlight of my SEMA trip. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:




Pics coming soon. :)

I'll have a webpage up ASAP. Here's a teaser. :thumbsup:

I second that. You'd be hard-pressed to find another guy as cool and generous as Mr. Sandlin. Had an awesome time and it was great to meet several of you guys there.

Thanks again Steve! :hail:

Again, I want to thank Steve Sandlin and Sandlin Lumber as well as all the guys that helped me out. Jody, Jeff, Bill, Jonny, Stuart, Jim and all the other guys that pitched in... it couldn't have worked without you. :)

Several other people were taking pics as well and I'll be adding them as they e-mail them to me. :thumbsup:

I just wanted to thank Mr Sandlin for his hopitality! What a great event! Had a chance to meet some of the guys here on the board, which was totally cool. Also, kudos out to Jody and Scott! You guys did a great job. :thumbsup:

Hope the same is on for next year. I wouldn't miss it!

Thanks again,

Ross

O M G :eek:

I had a feeling that Sandlin's party would be the thing I regretted most by not being there. These pictures confirm it. I think I will go kick myself now.

BTW is that Chezoom next to the Inciner8or?

Yeah Russ, that would be Chezoom. One of Steves friends was kind enough to bring five or so of his cars to the party as well. Cool, huh?

[RussMS]

OK I will go kick myself harder now.

I will do everything in my power to be there next time. Glad you guys had fun and the pics look great. :thumbsup:

[Stuart Adams]

Yeah that is CHEZOOM. Awesome party, Steve is a fantastic person. Highlight of my trip. It was wonderful to meet so many cool car guys, and see some bolt - ons along the way.

Good friends, cool cars, drinks, and well, other eye candy...what was I thinking staying home this year!!! :willy:

[XcYZ]

The ladies waiting tables were great! :unibrow:

[jannes_z-28]

C'mon guys you must have better pictures of the waitresses.

You haunt me for bringing Scandinavian blonds, now it's payback time.

We must see that aftermarket stuff you have been talking so much about. :willy: :willy:

Steve,

Although I didn't get the chance to speak or meet you in person, I wanted to thank you for your hospitality of a great party. My fiance and I didn't get there until after the prizes were givin out but all I can say is when we walked in I just about passed out. Awesome car show to say the least!!!
I did however see you again on friday at the strip with your new car, again I wanted to say hi and thank you but you looked pretty busy workin on the car
so I didnt want to bother you. Nice racecar!! If you have another party next year I will have to make a point to meet you for sure.

Anyway, thanks again for everything and Scott thank you too!!!
