This is the lineup I have so far.  Have I missed anyone?

Tim's Mera
Don H. if he can borrow a nose bra for Darrel's car.
Charlie's 87
Harry's 87
Shannon's 84
Pat  1 or 2?  Can we get a driver for the second one?  Ray said he'd drive it.
Jerry's 85
Dean will supply 2 or 3.  Maybe more if cars are available and we can provide drivers. 

So that's only 6 that are definites.  Not a very good showing so far.  If you want to add yours, quote this message and add on.

I will do everything I can to join in. Mine is an 87 GT painted Delta Blue with 18inch wheels and a Cadalliac 4.9l V-8.

I'm in guys. My car is missing the side marker lights all around because I hadn't been able to purchase a set yet and I haven't gotten to straighter and install my drip rails but just got repainted and looks amazing otherwise.

Ribbed or smooth?
I think I have a set of each
Where are you located? I'm in Buford.

If it gets down to the day of the parade and you don't have any, I'll pull them off the club courtesy car and loan them for the parade.  Gonna make the meeting tomorrow?  You don't need marker lights to attend and many are going sans rails as of late, too.

Everyone participating will need to make the March meeting so we can lay out our plans for pre-staging and for how we will present ourselves in the parade. 

After Valentine's day, the Dollar stores will start offering St. Pats decorations.  Dollar General is a good one for static cling decorations like shamrocks.  If you have blemishes on your car that need to be hidden, this is a good way.  Plaster it with shamrocks.  Also, taking an idea that John Wilhoff, aka 88DatabaseGuy, used in a parade, get some green saran wrap and cover your headlights.  Some of the static cling shamrocks can be cut down to achieve the same effect. 

We likely will have more cars available than we have drivers.  Anyone who would volunteer to drive someone else's vehicle, please let me know.  Dean said he may be able to provide several, but might need drivers and there are others of us who have extra cars or cannot attend that may want their car in the parade.

There has been a little snafu in our entry to the parade.  Apparently the persons receiving the faxed applications didn't pass it on to the parade organizers, even though it was submitted a week before the deadline.  When I checked on our acceptance it was found they didn't have the application. 

Ed Moran of the St. Patrick's Day committee had me to resubmit and they've put us into the parade.  There is a caveat, however.  They have limited us to only 10 cars.  If we have them, I can probably sneak in one or two extras without a problem.  This is the list I have at the moment.

Tim's Mera
Don H. if he can borrow a nose bra for Darrel's car.  Currently with drawn--see note below
Charlie's 87--Withdrawn if we have enough cars without it. 
Harry's 87
Shannon's 84
Pat  1 or 2?  Can we get a driver for the second one?  Ray said he'd drive it.
Jerry's 85
Dean will supply 2 or 3.  Maybe more if cars are available and we can provide drivers.
GMGuy's 87GT
Raydar  Formula Fastback
Brian  (Bristowb)  87GT

Unfortunately, it looks like Don H's car won't be in the parade.  It rolled over a stone wall, striking Daryl's, knocking it backwards through the garage door, then Don's hit his wife's car in the side.  Pretty badly damaged.  Complete rear including the clip needs to be replaced. 

I am pulling my car out of the lineup to allow other members who have never participated to be in the parade.  GMGuy, you will need to bring your car to the March meeting so we can see it.  We want the best looking cars we can get since we are limited.

His car was parked in the upper yard area and they were all inside the house.  No one injured.

I'm also glad nobody was hurt.
How does insurance play into this? Will they cover the damages?
