Go to www.hotrod.com and click on power tour for more info. Figure I'd throw a heads up to anybody that may miss this and would like to see some bad-azz cars. Scheduled to be in Davenport, Ia. June 9th-Wednesday at the Mississippi Valley Fair Ground.

 

Its about time I get some competiton on the streets. The stangs arent much fun anymore.

 

Ahh, you lucky SOB. I gotta trailer 2hrs and it's right in your back yard Where bout's is the fair ground anyways, I'll be coming into town on 80. Are there signs or anything to help us more privledged northern'ers find our way down in them parts

 

Hey IHI I look forward to seeing your car there.
I got it even better my mother in law lives about 300 yards behind the fair grounds so no hotel for us that night woo hoo..... of course I don't think we will be getting much sleep on the tour though

 

Sorry forgot to give ya directions,
get off of 80 onto 280 then get off on the Locust St. exit I think its the third one on 280 take a left at the top of the ramp go about 3 miles and you will be at the front gate of the fair grounds

 

If you are coming in on 80 you want to go south on 280 and get off at the locust st. exit head east the fairgrounds are on your right about 2 miles into town. Ill come find you guys maybe a mini cruise or something. Your cars arent that hard to find. I would know them anywhere.


It looks like Flirtin is faster than me in every way!

 

Well, I wrote I'm trailering down unless by some chance I get my accounts to PAY ME!!!! so i can get my 9" stuffed in there. I'm really looking forward to seeing some of these kick azz cars, oh, hope the women are better there than here too Once it gets down to a week before I'll get ahold of some of you guys and pass out my cell number so we can meet up down there. Might have to schedule a light week that week!! Hopefully they'll have some fun things going with the dyno shoot out's and all. Just wish I had a place to work on my car right now, lots of little things I wanna do, but the shops full of diassembled Malibu right now, lol!

 

LOL at least you now kevin and me will be at the same place
couldn't have done that twice!
hey kevin what color is your car

 

I think we could make it a great opportunity so you in-laws ask you never come back!!LOL -nother cold one anybody?!

 

Well right now its black, maroon, dark teal metallic and missing the oh so important 4' cowl hood. It might also have the metalic blue doors on by then too (fingers crossed).

 

The 90 RS is a complete finished driver. I only take out the heart attack special when I want to raise H*ll.

 

Maybe with some convincing 355SS will get out the beast. That is if he has the new improved secret stuffed under the hood by then.

 

The guy I built the last 6-71 for is doing the tour from St. Louis to Green Bay with his blower along with the guy I am building the 8-71 for right now will be riding with me (he wont have his truck done by then, plus he gets the video camera for the trip) between Third Gen Fest and then this the next week it don't get much better than that

 

damn michigan roads...you guys are lucky. enjoy it for all you can.

 

Amen to that, maybe 4 Wheeler magazine will have a power tour in Mich

 

You got that right.......we have done the dream cruise the last 4 years and while woodward is a good road, getting to and from it from the hotel tears my car up, I gotta say I thought our roads were bad until we were up there. When I see people from michigan saying they can't lower there cars very much I understand!

 

LMAO, when we were up there with the motor home drawers were sliding open, cupboard doors were flying open, food, glasses, and othe misc items were being flung around the RV. Ever try taking a **** in a moving RV on a michigan hwy, you'd have better luck peeing into the wind of a tornado-wear a rainsuit is what I'm tellin ya or pull over and stop cause it aint pretty!! And what was really funny is paying at the toll booth for road improvement-think that's another legal scam the state has going

 

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's cars (especially IHI's interior). I'll be at the Davenport stop, as I'm doing Springfield thru Green Bay. Look for me in my 66 Caprice since my Fireturd is still a garage potato.

 

That Caprice is gonna be the cats **** once you get the OD installed
I've got alot of work to do to the beast, lots of nit picky things that nobody notices until I really point them out, but needs to be addressed none the less. Hopefully I'll get paid here before too long, hate using my real money for my toy

 

michigan doesn't have any toll booths?

however the roads are some of the worst....

 

Maybe I'm thinking around the Chicago area is where we hit it, but regardless that road took us into paved pothole cracked up territory further north of the IL border

 

IHI, that's part of the reason why my daily driver is a Chevy HD2500 4x4. Actually, a few years ago the HR power tour ended in Mt. Clemens MI, and it was an absolute riot. A lot of the participants really did comment about how bad the roads were once they did hit the Michigan border. Maybe that's why they haven't been back since.

 

Ill be ther since im right across the river in moline. Hey kevin give me a call. Im in port byron tonight. 1 309 523 3450. I wanna see the rainbow warrior!!

 

problem was 2 points...mt.clemens wanted to much money and their roads were terrible and still are terrible. most of my wear and tear comes from going through there.

they tried it again with pontiac which worked pretty well, the last time they came unfortunately it rained so attendance was low. who knows if they'll ever come back. enjoy the show, it's alot of fun.

 

89305RS You are impossible to get ahold of. I call and the phone just rings forever.....and then I hang up!

 

well you got ahold of me last night didnt ya so ya in for sat? Bring 355ss too if hes avalible. Theres some stangs that need a dose of bowtie!!!

 

that sounds fun, maybe i will show up,i would like to see some of the cars on the tour and hang out.

 

355SS has a major dash swap going on right now. I also have never seen his ride on the road...ever. He keeps it under lock and key. I can't blame him, his car is the best example of a thirdgen I have ever laid eyes on.

 

wait till you see mine when im done. all im gunna say is spppphhhhhhhhhhh!!!

 

I plan on making Power Tour from Davenport to Green Bay and back. Why do you think I am doing all this work? Hopefully the secret weapon can be finished in time. Have two of them sitting on engine stands..... June 9th....damn-better get to work.

 

I told everyone it was going to stay stock for driving purposes...AM I CRAZY? The plans are allready in order. If I can pull this off in time, I could LOOK good and be FAST at the same time! It is going to be a major feat if I pull it off.

Sit back and think about it. If you have figured it out post it here! Tell me if I am off my creeper or not.


The clues are evident!

 

I should be trailering mine down by then. Someone has to give B Buntings car a run for its money. Hopefully that paint job pays off man. I got my fingers crossed for you.
