Event Coverage Glory days pics 2020

Looks like a wet Sunday...

 

Just curious ,how big is the swap meet?

 

Had the car hopped up for the first pass. Blew the tires off by the tree. Second pass 8.13 mag moved during the run. Third pass 7.9 mag moved again on the base. I will be ordering a set of handcuffs monday to hold it in place. videos are on my face book. Looked cool late in the day shooting flames.

 

The swap meet was down a little but the parts that showed up were killer. There was a complete max wedge setup. I saw two sets of mag spindle mounts. There was a rare enderle barn door injector. A 57 chevy gasser with mag bear paws on it. Two altereds. Saw a brand new in the box set of 426 heads. A guy I saw bought a 392 complete. It wasn't the size but the quality of the parts. No beanie babies.

 

I took a video of one of your Saturday passes , I’ll post it here if I can figure out how to do it. Your car and the blown 62 Vette were my son’s favorite to watch.

 

Where are you on FB?

 

Tim, Post on YouTube and hot link here!
Anxiously waiting!

 

I dont know how all the Facebook stuff works. I'm new to it. Paul brown posted it on my site or tagged me or something it just ended up there.

 

This 66 was parked near the swap meet. It Aztec bronze also known as paint code MM. I have my 66 from high school that was originally this color. Mine was repainted blue. When I redo the car I'm not sure what I will do. It was always blue for me yet that mm paint looks good and it would be correct. Maybe I will let my wife decide I could go either way. Both cars shown his and mine.

 

Brian I have a facebook page. But everytime I put something on it never gets posted. ? Guess it ain't nasty enough. LOL.

 

That's a tuff call on color, they're both Bad Ass ride's!

 

Ah, my favorite year Chevelle. Yeah tough call, both colors are excellent.

 

Sometimes you have to let the wife decide.

 

I’ve seen your car Brian and I’ll put my two cents in on this one I like the marina blue but every Chevelle I have seen in the last two months has been that color I vote for the bronze color and with those polished slot mags it will be perfect

Admittedly I’m not a good videographer, But your coupe was too fast for me to video sitting at the 1/8 mile mark.



let’s see if I posted it correctly.

 

One side of me says put it back the way it was originally. The other side my wife included says the blue is the way it always was for us. I know the world has enough restored chevelles and doesn't need another. The sentimental side says blue. I can see how this is going to end. The choice wont be final until the paint is in th e gun.

 

Loved the white Tempest. Thanx for all the pix.

 

Thanks for the video. You can really hear it when the timing changes. Just goes flat.

 

I agree with Jackson Brian . I always love that blue , but blue 66 Chevelle's are like red 68 Camaro's everybody has had one and I am a Ford/ Mercury guy. I would post a picture ,but a red 68 ,427, pro street, centerline wheeled car would not last long on here. lol But I also love vinyl tops on my muscle car era rides, so bronze with a black top for me. Its cool you still have your high school car. A buddy wrapped mine around a pole! That was back in 73. Oh well at least he is still around. Larry

 

SOOOO true! I can relate to everything you just said...

 

Brian,
I labored for quite a while trying to decide if I should keep the Cyclone in its factory red color or a color that would look just as good but not like ever other Comet. I hated the black interior and vowed to never have a black interior ever again. I found a blood red color for the interior and decided to paint the car a very fine metallic silver. I have zero regrets, every time I walk into the shop and turn on the lights I think to myself it was the best decision ever. My vote is keep the blue, but it’s your car. ( do you miss the orange on the coupe? Or is the green your favorite?)
Jim
