Hello From Chicago Area-

[MrBigBlockDart]

Hello- I'm a guy from the chicago area, I've got a couple of cars, 55 chevy 2 door wagon, 62 chevy II wagon, 71 dart big block, and an 80 Z28.

I love working on everything, from old scool, to musclecars... it's all good.

I'm running a car show on Sunday May 4th in Melrose part, and would love to have a bunch of HAMB members there. Take a look.

Was there illegal racing near skips... I can't imagine... The next thing you'll tell me is that there was racing going on at the stockyards.

Hehe, post the show over on www.chromeczars.com (http://www.chromeczars.com).

My '51 Merc is getting repainted right now otherwise I'd drive it over.

No the organized illegal stuff was at Ogden & Kostner.I never heard of any near Skip's,not that there wasn't any.I did see some killer concerts at the ampitheater next door to the yards.Hell,we used to cruise up to Mr Norm's or Nickey Chevrolet,just for something to do.
