Any chance we could get together for dinner after the show on Tuesday the 5th? Suggestions of where and when?

I have something special prepared to give to Dave at the show. I think it would be totally cool if all us GTM guys signed it as a momento of the 2013 SEMA show?

If they do then I guess I'd have to buy you dinner?

Anyone up for probably the best Prime Rib in Vegas Tuesday night? I know the place if we all want to get together for dinner.

My brother used to drive a cab in vegas so he turned me onto some great places. The place we usually go to every trip to Vegas is in the older part of Vegas called Jerry's Nugget. It's not the classiest place but very clean and one year when they brought out the rolling cart with all of our prime ribs on it, another couple got up and asked if we would mind if they took a picture of all the slabs of beef!
So let's get a count of how many are interested. Hopefully it's not too big a crowd but I guess I could always call ahead so they car seat us together.

No oriental food is served so I guess that means the 818 guys are not invited. :-)

I don't understand why nobody took the time to answer your question. That's pretty inconsiderate or arrogant. So much for the brotherhood.....
The SEMA Show is restricted to Iindustry insiders, people that own businesses or work in the industry, from parts manufacturers, to retailers, to mechanics, and shop owners. If you know one of those business owners, they can register you as an employee, and get you tickets.
Allow at least two days to see part of the show. It is larger than you can ever imagine, but it is also divided into logical sections that makes it easy to see just the catagories you are Iinterested in. Study the layout map before you go, and if you are staying in one of the larger hotels, take the schuttle bus from the hotel. Parking is very difficult, and time consuming.
Everyone should go at least once. Have fun.

So for right now I am counting 6 of us not including guests? Of the 6, how many are bringing guests? Thinking around 7:30. Sound good? I should also take names at the FFR booth so I can make reservations or more importantly, just let them know the size of the group showing up.
Also a copy of your GTM's certificate of Origin should be mandatory. (Don't want any 818 GTM wannabees sneaking in. (Kalstar) :-))))

Coming from a Guy diving a 10 year old Mustang. But not only a Mustang but a bright yellow one with a V6, that's right a V6. Did I mention the Asian body kit?? I "think" you are to young to be getting senile, could be wrong though.

I'm still in, as long as you don't mind I don't have a GTM - I do have a Mustang though!
Thanks John

Well I have both a GTM and a 818 so I plan to pick on both of you.

Dan,
Major bummer. We just got dropped of at our hotel. So I'm afraid all I can offer is moral support. Hard to think about a car overheating on a cold night like tonight.
Kalstar

Happy to lend a hand. I'll call, PM sent with my number as well.

Thanks Jim for giving me a call. It looks like there is a leak up around the engine. I'm going to call tomorrow to see if I can get the car shipped back to Phoenix. If I have to pull the seats/firewall/engine cover, then its probably best to take care of it at home. Sorry I didn't get to meet you guys tonight.

Pulling the waterfall off should give plenty of access. Should be no need to remove anything else. My waterfall comes off without removing seats.

As soon as you have a leak in the system it will start letting in air. That air will pool in the top of the system by the water pump. The water pump is a poor air pump.
Circulation stops
If you can fix the leak it should be possible to bleed out the air and get you back on your way.
With so many GTM owners here I'm sure we can fix it.

Thanks for the offer to help, but I'm having the car picked up tomorrow by an auto transport. The waterfall is one of the original carbon fiber setup, and the wings are behind the firewall plates. The CF does not flex, so I have to pull off at least one firewall side to get that waterfall out. It's only $375 to ship it home. Most carriers want over $2100 for such a premium time and location, but I got in on a canceled order, so I got in at the base rate. The car leaves tomorrow where most of the others are leaving after the show. I have a ride home, so I'm just more inclined to fix it where I have access to all my tools.
Thank you all again for the offer to help.
