8 weeks till Power Tour

[Charley Lillard]

And here is what my ride looks like. http://www.yenko.net/attachments/262129-DSC07317%28Large%29.JPG

[MosportGreen66]

The Mule is sitting this one out?

[LVCamaro]

what shop is doing the build?

[Charley Lillard]

Yes the ule finally gets to stay home. Stenods Performance is working on it. Stielow has his car apart in his garage so he had it hauled to Stenods. It is close to him so he can get over there and work on it when he has time. They do great work and we have most of the parts so it is a metter of alot of assembly. http://www.stenodperformance.com/main.html

[Mr70]

This would be a good resto to follow along with.
Can you update us weekly with progress photos?

[LVCamaro]

Cool Ride Sir Charles! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif Glad to see someone is getting away from the 19", 20", 22" wheel/tire combo.
I'm a big fan of the "Dare to be Different" crowd. Let us know how it rides on those teenie weenies! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

(Also love the rear-steer option. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif)

[Charley Lillard]

Starts in Cleveland and ends in Little Rock.

------Love those "Frontrunner" serpentine belt set-ups from Vintage Air, Charlie. I just installed one on a small-block and its trick!!! Wish I could get the car ready for this but its not in the cards. Oh well........Bill S

Steve,

I'll join you for the start, maybe do a day or two or just run up to Toledo and then back. See what the weather is doing that day.

We're going to have to skip the Power Tour this year for the first time in 6 years http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif Don't have enough vacation time for the PT and a honeymoon. I did meet my girl and get engaged to her on the PT but having it be our honeymoon too is a bit too much.

Good luck with the build Charley http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Charley Lillard]

Say it ain't so Brian.......
Brian even proposed to her and got one of my cars involved in the engagement.

[Camaroinaz]

Charley - Any updates?

[Charley Lillard]

I'mm send some to Bruce since my new comp seems to resize things differently and they are too big.

[Belair62]

Sure..blame the computer dork.

By no means a super car, but a lot of fun and it has A/C too!

How old is your son?
Did my first PT with my then 14 year old, we had a blast. He's now 18 and graduates high school in a couple of days. When I asked him a few months ago what he wanted to do as a senior trip he said " I want to do PT again with you, dad !" This time he can drive, so I can shoot pics http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Don't forget to check out "Saucers" in downtown (old town) Little Rock. Great food, tons o beer from around the world (on tap), nice atmosphere, and friendly (sparsely dressed) young bar maids. And, you can work on getting your own saucer on the wall (or ceiling) http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif !

Ian is 22 and we have been doing car stuff together since he was a baby. He is as big a "Car Nut" as I am and has his own small collection of cars. (Yes...they are Tuners!)

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

We have talked about doing the tour for the last 5 or so years and last year we were all signed up when my Mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. We lost her shortly thereafter. (May 18, 2006)

This time, we have everything in order and the time scheduled off work. I am counting the days and we look forward to seeing many of you! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Spoke too Soon......Took the car out today and got about 40 miles from the house and it just "Quit" running.....got a Flatbed to come and pick up Me and the Car and after waiting for 2 hours and a $180 ride back home I pulled out My "NEW" Accel HEI Distributor and put the stock GM HEI back in and it started right up......didn't check it out yet but either the Coil or Module failed.....I'm sure when I read the fine print in the Warranty they will make good on everything .....Right!!..........Yeah ......But on the Bright side ....at least it happened before we left next week for the Power Tour ......Can't beat stock GM parts

And if anyone does have problems while in the Springfield area, please feel free to contact me for assistance. We'll be more than happy to do whatever we can. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif
