Lombards...Kick off show

[Postsedan]

The first Saturday after Memorial Day...June 4th is Lombards first show. Should be a strong showing. That is if it isn`t 35 degrees and miserable weather http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif See you there!

Dan.

[Bill Pritchard]

I will try and make it to Lombard that day. I have never been to that show but have heard a lot of good comments about it.

[DarrenX33]

If all goes well it will be the unveiling. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

[Xplantdad]

You go Darren! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[DarrenX33]

Well you might want to cut that down to 1 smiley. I'm gonna try like $#^@.

[Mr70]

Downers Grove starts early this coming Friday 5/20,with "Welcome Back" night.

[ssl78]

Hopefully it will be nice out we do not need another gloomy day. But today is really nice so Im going to Elmhurst tonight since its kick off night.

[DarrenX33]

Yeah that should be good. I'm gonna be in the garage tonight. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Salvatore]

Get workin Poopsie! You are doing a GREAT job! I was standing on my deck, looking slightly northwest last nite and saw the glow burning in the midwest sky. Had to be your house with those new lites! The X33 was just gleaming! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

That was me Sam, working my tail off on my patio project http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Salvatore]

I guess you are right marlin. I would be looking at your house before his, looking in that direction. I bet Benjamin was there for most of the work also. Wanting to help Daddy. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[hvychev]

Pops and I are planning to attend tomorrow. Anyone else planning on going?

[DarrenX33]

John, Dan and I will be there. Go to the bank Frank. Same as before. We should be there early.

[rsatz28]

Hey Darren, I stopped by your area a couple of times to chat, and You were not there. You leave?

[DarrenX33]

Rob- We went to eat over at the BBQ place. It took forever. Then ended up leaving at about 6:45. Sorry I missed you. Your car looked great. Nice job. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

I don't know if it's just me or what. But I seem to notice that the shows aren't as busy as they used to be. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[mrtimstik]

Darren, I did the same, came to see the unveiling and missed you. Talked to John and he told me the car has a pulse. Looking forward to seeing it whenever you get it ready even tho I liked the ride you had there 2 weeks ago http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif. Ate at the BBQ place and had the same experience. How bout that Skull Car?

Well we wimped out on bringing our cars do to the weather forcast. While it didn't rain in Lombard there were brief showers in Algonquin.

We saw a sign on a red Chevelle that had "Chevrolet Sports Department" Our little group could not figure this out. What is that?

[DarrenX33]

Oh Rick.... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif

[Postsedan]

Rick,

Get off that "Gas Pump" and answer Rob`s question?

Dan.

[Xplantdad]

What the heck is a Donzi??

I'm confused, too...though that's a pretty common occurence with me!

[Charley Lillard]

Donzi is also known as a Money pit that sits most of the time....or others call it a boat.

I would like about a 5 dollar chunk of some nice horseradish/cheddar cheese. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif I got some last month at a cheese factory in Monroe Wi. and it's all gone now. Curds are yummy too. I will see you there. Your car looks like my car.

Neat body/frame mods on that car. In PA they take their rat rods very seriously... Modern parts like that 90's small block and accessories wouldn't cut it. While its not as radical as the above car, here's an example of a Model A roadster traditional "rat rod" from the greater Pittsburgh area... spotted at the Irwin, PA Cruise-In yesterday afternoon. try to find any modern parts on it anywhere. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

It would be nice to build a rat rod. Nothing has to match, can be what you have laying around, any motor, hardware store nuts and bolts, glass, no glass and.........the rougher the better. NO clean up duty and you can drive it in the rain!!!! Perfect for Belair. He can sit on milk crates and still have a 1000 pt. ride. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/BelairSucks.gif

I say that not only about the perfect weather & cars that showed up,but the quality of the people who drove them.Sometimes you just have to stop & eat a Mango... http://pixel.cleyra.net/misc/mango.gif
I left at 9:45,and could see many there would call me an early bird.
The caliber of people & cars that showed up later on was incredible.

.......I spent all day today sanding and buffing to bring it up to NOS (Dan and Don's restoration business) standards...........It's nice to see someone in "Business" who "Gets It" ........

Ken and Jeff,

Thanks for the Kind words. Don and I had a blast at Lombard, it`s not often that we both can attend. Ken I`m sure you`ll have your 66 looking great in no time. We will all miss you at SCR8. Not to worry we will all take plenty of pics for you.

Jeff hope you can make it down for SCR8.

Dan.

It's a 255 miles to Collinsville. Got a full tank of gas, Full coffee mug, it's early morning and I'm wearing sunglasses. Hit it.
I should be there sometime around 8 - 8:30am Sat. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

The Difference between a "nice" paint job and a "great" paint job is in the last little disipline to get out "ALL" of the orange peel.......after looking at your cars.....I had a nice paint job........but its getting better every day.......That's the difference in this car hobby....what was O.K. yesterday might not be good enough today....and on and on it go's.............But we all need a benchmark to measure against.....My $.02

I can also attest to the quality of work they are churning out. Dan worked along side with me on my mini-resto. I owe him a great deal for the end result of my project. My Z will be going into their shop for some paint detailing in preparation for the Fall Vettefest (if it happens).

Can't wait to see the NOS restoration ElCamino! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Thanks again for the kind words Ken, Jeff, & Darren. Dan & I pride ourselves on detail that is often missed during a restoration. We look forward to seeing many of you at SCR8. Also Darren, can't wait to do that detail work on the Z. What a great car. Have a safe trip. Don
