Car: 1991 Z-28 Engine: Can you say stroke?!?! Transmission: 700-r4 Axle/Gears: 3.42 | Little Anthony's Diner Car Show 3/11
Ok, so we discussed this a few weeks back and now it is time.....
Mar. 11 - Little Anthony's Diner Car Show (7010 E. Broadway Blvd.) - Day Show 10am-2pm - Tucson - Info: 520-296-0456
So, who's in? If we do this, do we wanna all meet someplace and then roll on in there as a group or do we just want to meet there? Since it's an afternoon show I'm not sure if people are gonna want to go. If your interested post up so we can at least get this thing going.
Going so far......
CraZ-28..me duh!

Car: 1987 Z28 Convertible Engine: 305 TPI Transmission: 5-speed | I may have my car running by then but it's going to be close. I shipped my downpipes to Jet-Hot today (Mississippi) and their turnaround time is 5-10 days. This is all I'm lacking now to get the engine running again....

Car: 1987 Z28 Convertible Engine: 305 TPI Transmission: 5-speed | My relationship with the O'Rielly's parts department is long, as far back as 1984. In fact, I have an account with them -- kind of rare for a non-business. I still remember when Hector started there; moved to Tucson from Douglas. I was there last weekend and talked to him. He did mention you! Did you know he also lives in Rita Ranch? BTW, the guys there call me "Will". Don't ask!

Car: 1987 Z28 Convertible Engine: 305 TPI Transmission: 5-speed | I will admit, Hector knows his stuff. But if he's not there and you need their help, talk to Jeff Oestrike. He's been my parts guy for over twenty years. Mention my name (Will) and ask him to look up some GM striping part numbers. He'll probably hang up on you!! It's a personal joke between us.

he thought the phone was on hold, and it was enough to make
me take a drive to shut his lip for him....luckily we were very
busy at the time....I cooled down, but I'd sooner call Watson
than deal with Jeff. | |

It's not looking like my car will be ready to drive by the 11th. I'm waiting on downpipes to be coated and shipped back, then final assembly. Unfortunately, my work schedule is long and between it and family duties, I hardly have time during the week to work on my car.....

Yeah, it's probably going to be a small turnout but that's ok. At least the few that go can make some sort of presence. I mean usually when I was going I was the only 3rd gen there and I wasn't even in the show and I had people checking out my car. And it's nothing to get all excited about....well, not like some other members cars. *cough*Willie*cough* | |
