The registrations coming in from this site has slowed down considerably, with only 2 new attendees in the past month.
Have we reached the total audience here? I think not.
There's been a number of local and nearby new members joining FCBO who can have the opportunity to meet others from this forum at the show in June. Members and participants who share the same interests in C bodies and who attend the events like these, is what will keep our hobby going.
As in last year, would someone like to volunteer posting the show registration forms/link on Facebook? (I'm not on there) We'll probably get a few more folks joining us at Volo, just as they have in the previous years.
I hesitate to say, but I think we already have the largest C body only gathering in the country, with even more makes and models showing up this year over last. Lets keep the trend going by breaking our annual record.

Six weeks from now will be crunch time for the 3rd Annual C Body Show at Volo.
If time allows to break off from the show for a while, a tour of their museum is worth checking out.
This Daytona is a new arrival and might still be there on 6/22 unless somebody with deep pockets comes along.

I still have my token from last year! The museum is worth a walk through, plenty to stop and look at. I know I took a ton of pictures last year. I work the next three weeks, then have a week off to get the car ready for the pre-trip shakedowns to the first Mopars in the Park show I get to attend this year! Then on to Illinois three weeks later, plenty of time to get a car squared away. The '68 is coming this year, as it's the most roadworthy right now. I might even steal the tires off the black car...

Scott, the 68 is shaping up nicely. Looking forward to seeing it in June. BTW, I liked the pic you posted with the tail lights lit up. I didn't even know when the lights are illuminated, the entire back end lights up. There's going to be a few other Polara's like yours, including the special build by Joe, that's supposed to make the event this year.
Earlier today I went to NAPA to pick up some WIX oil filters, and as I pulled in, this 72 Newport was in the parking lot.
I talked to the new owner Jerry for a bit, who picked up the Newport 1 town over recently, and invited him to our C Body event on 6/22.
Before I left NAPA I helped him find FCBO on his phone, and directed him to this link, and the registration form to sign up. Hope to see him there with the rest of us.
I'm going to have to print out some flyers, and keep them in my car just in case I run into another C body when I'm out and about, or for when I go to cruise nights/car shows.
For those who have yet to register, send in your form or go to the link in the 1st thread. It's pretty easy.

It will be. Been busy making cars run and cleaning the shop up.

Finally got myself and the Imp registered for the show!

I have a friend who is not on FCBO that has a ‘69 300 convertible, I am going to ask him if he is interested in going also
