Friday Night Arizona Cruising

[CC Rider]

My son Bryan REALLY wanted to go to a cruise tonight, and since I need a couple of things from Harbor Freight, we drove over to Chili Bombers at Bell and 51st Ave. Tonight they had live entertainment featuring one guy on a guitar. I must admit, he was REALLY good! Didn't catch his name though.

Had a pretty good crowd there tonight.

Wasn't fast enough to get an under-the-hood shot, but there was a nicely detailed small block between the fenders.

&quot;Or&quot; Paint Brushes......LOL

I bought a box of nitril gloves.

[ORIGLS6]

Everyone knows I'm a huge fan of the '57 Chevy and that Colonial Creme dual quad rag is gorgeous, ........ but IMHO the '37-'38 Chevy Coupe is the best looking Chevy ever built! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif

[Brewster]

Thanks for posting the pictures even though the lighting was weak they where still great to view.
Cheers!

I don't know the particulars, but this cruise at Chili Bombers has been discontinued. Rumor has it the merchants no longer wanted the &quot;nuisance&quot;. No big loss, as it was not an ideal cruise venue. But I wanted to make this public service announcement for any potential visitors to the Phoenix area. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif

There is a replacement venue that is closer to Bruce and me. Might take a while for it to build up though.

[Xplantdad]

Darn....LOL

[Postsedan]

This happens often here in the Chicago area with all the cruise nights, you could cruise 7 days a week <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

One closes, another re-opens. Can`t wait for summer <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif

[Xplantdad]

Chili Bomber parking lot was paved in 1932 or so....most of it is gone...LOL (or so it seems) <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif

[CC Rider]

Yup, that much is true Bruce and Dan. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

[CC Rider]

The spaces were designed to fit Model T's.

[m22mike]

I drove all the way over there from Scottsdale once last winter, what a dump <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/sick.gif no big lose.

ugh, THAT explains why it was so pathetic tonight ... 1st time west of I-17/Central/Tatum for me in ages ... even the &quot;Chicago&quot; dog at Freddies was the same, ugh

never again ...

wish I had read this BEFORE I wasted a few hours <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

It was even &quot;verified&quot; by this site:

Great pix!

Could a cruise in thread be added to the forum? Being from overseas,I'd like to see more pix of your local burger joint,car hangout or just your car on a Sunday drive!

cheers Dave

Sorry you drove all the way over here for nothing. The replacement venue is supposedly the Dairy Queen at the corner of Deer Valley and 67th Ave. It's a newer shipping center with better lighting and a better surface! Maybe I will scope it out next Friday.

[CC Rider]

In a new and surprising move, the Kmart cruise at 67th Ave and Bell Road has moved to Friday nights. Wonder if this move was made because Bruce and I almost always drive over to Scottsdale. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif

[CC Rider]

After Bruce demanded <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif that I verify this, the K-mart Cruise will actually be held Friday AND Saturday night....

....Thus ending my public service announcements. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

[Xplantdad]

LOL...you are too funny! (BTW, did you verify that?) <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif

WOW, Who butchard that Henry J. Imagine taking the straight front axle out and SBC/ 4 speed.....Geez...lol
