Niagara Falls Northern Chevelle Gathering

[Postsedan]

We just got back from the show....The Canadians are a great bunch..."Aey" As are the rest of the people we met...the New Jersey guys really make me laugh with those Jersey accents. "Lets go Waaassh the caaaar" http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Don Lightfoot really is loved by all...well almost http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

One of the best Chevelle shows out there...I highly recommend for all Chevelle fans to make the trip and see this show for yourself...the people were some of the best I`ve ever met.

A spectacular row of 68-69 SS 396/COPO Chevelle`s...two of which were original owners, one being a true survivor.

Albert making a few last minute adjustments before the judging began....another "Display Only" Chevelle (that we won`t mention) was found to have it`s rear decklid weather strip on incorrectly. Everyone present including Albert...Imediately made the corrections before the judging began.

Dan,

It sounds like all of you had a great time. Thanks for taking the time to share the pics http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Postsedan]

I was too early on this shot of Al smoking the virgin Goodyear`s (only 13 miles)

Sorry Al...I`ll just have to get a better shot at SCR9!

Bruce,

You should have made the trip...it would have been closer than going to the Maryland Chevelle show.

Man O Man, I can practically smell that spent racing fuel and hear those solid lifters doing their business! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Postsedan]

One reason we made the trip to the Niagara Falls Chevelle Gathering...besides meeting the famous Don Lightfoot http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif...was to reunite Greg`s Daytona Yellow SS 300 Deluxe Post Sedan with the former owner. The look of there face`s was priceless.

I`m sorry that you still have that Daytona Yellow paint on your clothes, on your glasses and even on some of your camaro parts... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

I remember when we picked up the two cars from them and they thought Greg was crazy for restoring these POS cars... Now two years later the two meet up again I wish I was there to see Carlos when he seen the car for the first time.... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Don_Lightfoot]

Well Dan, it was indeed a pleasure to finally meet you after all those emails over the last four years or so. You are a "down to earth" type of guy and sure fit in with our crazy bunch.

I certainly want to thank you and Greg for bringing the Yellow Post Car to our Event. I can now concur with all the comments made by others this year who have seen the car in person.

That "1968-69 SS-396/Beaumont SD-396/COPO" Class was one tough cookie for sure. Usually it's the 70 SS class that stands out, but not this year.

Hopefully, when Greg gets through with the initial show circuit, he can bring it back along with one of your rides and you guys can "join in the fun" like the rest of us http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I'll be in touch about swapping our various pictures and videos. I've looked at the pictures, but haven't had a chance to view my video yet. Hopefully "your" commentary is better than the "lousy job" you said I did on the last one I sent you http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Also, If Greg's son would have said "EH!" one more time I think I would have put him over my knee (although he's almost as big as me) http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Once our event photographer gets his pictures uploaded I'll post the link so people can say something "other than the Yellow car" http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[396L35]

Whats wrong Don you didn't enjoy Holden EH!!!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif
