Just relocated to the Boston Metro West Area
« on: June 03, 2012 - 09:18:42 AM »
I relocated to the Boston Metro West Area last year and now I have moved my car to the area.  In the process of restoring the car now that we have a house. I need to find a place that can do some engine and body work near Mass 90 and Intersate 495.  Also looking for places that have car shows also.  Thanks   :working:

Welcome to the area, like Jeff I am in SNH but dip over the border when I can for shows.

Thurs nights at Kitty's in North Reading is in the area for me and a pretty good show shine with food and music.

I hear the Foxboro show is excellent as well and large.

Welcome to MA!   :wave:

I heard Reids Automotive does good work, never had any experience with them but I hear the name among car guys here.  They are in Whitman, MA so actually not too close to 495, more south shore.

You can also check out the MassMopar.com forum for good sources for body/engine work: http://massmopar.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl


Here's a list of Car shows around the area: http://www.bostonautoshows.com/events-calendar.htm

There is one in Marlboro center I think in August or so.  Couldn't find any info but I think they close off Marlboro center and and have decent cars there.  It's close to 495/90, sort of.

Check out this list too: http://www.carshowfinder.org/events/sho-car-association-rod---custom-nationals_563.htm

Kimball Farms has a nice car show, it used to be Thursdays but I think it's fridays now: http://www.kimballfarm.com/cruise.shtml

I just looked at the pic, what in the world is parked to the right of the yellow Barracuda near the front of the pic?!!?!?!?!  :clueless:

1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Pic #2 and 3 of my ARII 1/24 scale model car 

Phil in New England-Massachusetts  Always thank God for what you have!

Welcome to Mass. There is C3 Automotive in Foxboro, Chris is a real good guy. Also for car show don't miss the Bass Pro Cruise night every other Thurday night at Gillette stadium rt 1 Foxboro. They get an average of 2000 cars and a couple hundred bikes. They broadcasted this cruise all over the place.

Greetings from Cape Cod!   :wave:

Don't forget the Father's Day car show in Hyannis too!

How do I know which Thursday is the "other" Thursday at the razor? 

Mmm, Kitty's!! Lobster pie is to die for.

To All ........ Thanks for the info.  Now I have a place to go get my Mopar fix.  When I lived in Delaware I would go up to Carlise each year to look.  I would dream when I got to the E-Bodies.  I have a 70 r/t ragtop e-body.  I've had this toy for 20 yrs but it has sat in a garage for the same amount of time due to kids, college tution for kids and honey do list for the wife I now have a chance to restore the car.

I will checkout the website that were provided and try to attend the car shows.  The car shows will give me a chance to explore the area.  Since I live in Hopkinton I will try to get down to the Foxboro shows.

Again thanks to all for your input.

Walt

Thanks CudabeforeIdie, but I'm not into firearms.  The only firearm that I own is a old BB rifle that I had growing up in Augusta, GA.

I also have a 70 challenger vert, if I ever get it done maybe I'll get it to a shoe sometime. I'm on the northshore, not too far away from where you are.
