Rick,

I`ll try and make it. Are you bringing the Gas Pump to Lombard this Saturday?

Dan.

[Mr70]

No Dan.
They are telling me not to...but I'll be at both of these cruises with my Missouri plated Chevelle. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

.....and we did!! A great time was had by all. Had an excellent showing of 69 Chevelles http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif Naturally, I forgot to bring a camera http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif Hopefully one of our other, more well prepared members took some photos for posting.

[Mr70]

What a great turnout for both shows.
Most all Illinois members showed up at either show this weekend with their respectable Machines.
So many people &amp; cars,with some trading hands.
You can't be a warm summer afternoon/evening car cruise in anywhere U.S.A.
I swear I got SuperCFL to come in on my Car radio...
Summertime is here! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[DarrenX33]

Bill,

Dan is our official photographer. I'm sure he will be posting pics soon. It was a fun night. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Boy, --Bill's Chevelle's a Beauty-- http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Mr70]

To say the least Joe.
As the Car overall is impressive on Originality,he still even has the Uniroyal White Stripe Tiger Paw spare tire,and the Early design Madrid Grained rim steering wheel.I can display these details if you are interested.

[JoeG]

If you're finished pumping gas for the night-----SURE! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

what color are those inserts?

[Mr70]

A shade lighter then black,but not grey.
I couldn't get their shade to come out in any pix I took.
In person it looks lighter then this.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v669/Rick_Peters/pritchard0004.jpg

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Ultra dark charcoal? Any metallic?

[Mr70]

I wouldn't call it a Metallic.
Ultra Dark Charcoal maybe.
If Bill P. comes back up here this Friday or Saturday,I will try to reshoot it for you in better sunlight.

[Bill Pritchard]

Rick,

Thank you for taking and posting those pictures http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif My wife said she was happy to be have been able to provide support for the spare tire http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Thanks also for pointing out that grain on the steering wheel rim; I honestly had no idea there were differences amongst the 'standard' steering wheels http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

I will try to take a good picture showing the spare wheel insert color and post it here. As Rick says, it is definitely not black, and I don't believe it has any metallic to it.

Thanks also to Dan for posting the picture of the car a couple pages back. I sure wish his camera batteries hadn't pooped out because there were so many other beautiful cars in attendance that night.

[Mr70]

Cmon all you local bums,I'm turning the key &amp; headed there right now.
LET'S GO! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

Can Charlie have it-?---

[DarrenX33]

Think it's gonna be a quiet weekend Rick among the locals here Rick.

[Bill Pritchard]

I took a few pics of my spare wheel. The dark grey paint does indeed have some fine metallic in it. It's not as noticeable since the paint does not have a high gloss finish, but it is there. These pics I am posting lost a lot of detail resizing them for posting, but I have higher resolution pics (~ 760kb each) that I could email to anyone who is interested.

[Mr70]

Are you sure about the metallic actually being in it?
I see that as the silver undertone layer that was applied first,before the Dark Charcoal inserts were painted very lightly later.

that makes the most sense,
I have watched you guys discuss these wheels for awhile, and the three I had were the same, I looked them over and they had a very light metallic to them but the silver bleeding through makes the most sense!!! as it is the strangest looking color, now Rick needs to spray a old wheel and see if it bleeds through the same, good job Columbo!

[Bill Pritchard]

Hmmmmm.....I would think if the silver was 'bleeding through' the grey would not look near as dark as it does http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif Look at all the runs in the grey paint - runs don't come from paint being applied lightly.

I dont recall any runs in the ones I had they were barely sprayed the dark grey to the point they were fuzzy a little on the outside edges of each lug area..at least that's what I recall.
