What are you up to?

They started a weekly Cruise Night not far away Greenville MI this year. It was the first one of the season so I checked it out.





There had been about 30 cars come through while i was there, a buttload of vettes, I thought it was a pretty good turn out for the 1st and on a cloudy ,looking like rain evening. Best part FREE hotdogs and I may have scored a lead on a spoiler for cheap !

what kind of spoiler are you looking for.??????

spoilers?? The local salvage yard here has new ones on sale for 25 bucks each. They are nice & new - anyone interested -Ill give you their phone - likely they can tell you who makes them & see fotos??

About like that one on the Cyclone only a fixed position probably. Something like that or the one that was on my 84 TA, I like the dropped ends. The fellow that owns the ford says he has a few so Im gonna check it out , he also claims to have a bunch of chevy engine stuff left over from drag racing ,, we'll see.

I see an early in the background.Were you the only one Joe?
I like that Cyclone.About what width ya lookin for with dropped ears?

Actually I am in the pic of the flathead ford to ,,look at his hubcap ,,lol
Yeah Only one , I almost called Dan ,, but my decision to go was last minute.
Ya know I havent even measured yet. That Orange vette belongs to an older (than me) gentleman , he's the one I got my paint code from for the orange. This other vette was a cool color that I thought would be neat onna van, I call it Punkin' Orange but youd never hear the owner call it that.!

Looks UT (Tennessee) orange to me.lol Had to razz you on that one.

Off to the blaster. Gonna get rid of three thick coats of paint this weekend. Blasting with coal slag, wifey didn't like the idea of me blowing soda all over the yard. Glass guy on the way to get all of it out.

whats the new color?

This one made the cut. I changed my mind a quite a few times and am sticking with this. Sunset pearl. Leaning towards a white roof but having a tough time visualizing it. A tad pricey but unique for an early.

before painting my car, i bought a model and can of touch up paint. most paint suppliers can put your paint in an aerisol can.

Yeah, I got a few 1/2 pints here of others that I didn't keep, but now with the sunshine, I just go to the dealers to see the colors in person. I've been to the lots so many times, the salesmen don't bother to bother me anymore. The white roof is the part I'm having an issue visualizing but a bright 2 stage white should be ok.

Here is one in red with white roof. Maybe this will give some help[/[url=https://servimg.com/view/16107613/33]url] maybe some can photoshop the right color on one for you

getting set up to give the 66A parts van a face lift this weekend.

Thanks Big W! That certainly helps.

I'd stop up and have a few shots of rye with you but either you or I are out in the middle of nowhere depending how you look at it. Do you know that red van?

Visited a fellow vanner this morning,He is doing a little bodywork on another vanners ride. Bill

Sorry Stunami but the owner of that red van is unknown to me. I found that pic about a year ago and liked the way it looked, and has been one of my insperations as to how I would like mine to look at ride height.

Martha and I are vacationing in Destin

We just registered for the Hot Power Tour 2011 on June 5th. This year it begines at The Kennedy Space Center and ends in Detroit. Our 64 G10 may be the only one on the run. At this time we are only able to do the first leg which will end in Valdosta Ga. They have put together a special driving tour of the space complex and we drive our rides on the tour. Should be a once in a life time day, can't wait. Just hope the old girl will not let us down (the van not the wife). What a foto opportunity.
Just changed out the 4:11 gears for a set of 3:40s, sure droped the RPMs down.

Hey Guys -

Finally have the Van at the Body Shop, body work coming along nicely.

Thanks again Don for the stand in front end.

Got the cab off today. Should be easier for Randy to get what he needs off that.
