atlanta donut derelics looks interesting....
a little google revels:

The Atlanta Donut Derelicts was started by some Atlanta car enthusiasts that thought it would be neat to have a morning car event. There is no agenda, no one is in charge, it's not a car club, no membership, just talk cars, eat donuts and show your latest creation.


address is Sub Base & Dandy Donuts, 3665 Chamblee Dunwoody Road, Chamblee, GA



I vote for that OR the varsity. although the varsity has some nasty food, it is a stones throw away from my place, and we could stop by here after if y'all want to check my build.

I'm not getting much response from the USA7s guys, and I 've got plans early in the morning.

Lunch at the Varsity, followed by checking out eVox's build sounds good to me. I'd at least be able to see if my butt fits in a book frame! :D

Heck if this works out maybe we can plan a donut derelicts meetup later on when the weather is sunny.

12:30pm at the varsity. Double check here before you go.

After lunch, everyone is welcome to stop by my place to check out my build in progress. It is very close to the varsity and there is plenty of parking.



Hopefully the rain will be good to us. My build is fully outdoors...



Feel free to give me a call- two, zero, three, five, zero zero, zero, eight, zero, nine.

it was great to get to meet all of you. thanks for the comments about my build.


I thought about it, and will be keeping the wheelbase where it currently is at. if I change it now, I won't ever know the difference it makes in handling...so ill save I for later.


we should definitely do this again, especially when it is warmer out and we can get some finished cars there!


rob is soldier_guy on here and usa7s...not sure about corey
