When is this board going to change to 2006???

May isn't all that far off, guys.

 

can't wait to get our two blue thirdgens together

 

may is coming up soon kev, will that car be together?

 

If I had info, I'd post it.

Anything Denny?

 

That is the plan. Of course, that was the plan last year... but it's pretty close now.

 

jay talked to him today and he said he's posting up in a few days some new info.

 

I was just thinking about this the other day. Can't wait to get the car out again and head down there.

xpndbl3 - for the record I was robbed on that Modified Camaro Award last year, I think you beat me by 1 vote. I was pushing for a recount being that less than %50 of your car was there, lol. Oh well hopefully I will do better this year.

 

not to start a fight but i won by 16 votes actually. there was a large margin because i was talking to denny about it when everyone left for the cruise....didn't think that the cops would like no plates, insurance, doors, fenders, hood, seatbelts, etc etc.

this year i'll have a new motor combo hopefully and the car is all complete and painted so i can't wait to see if this year is a repeat. Just don't forget me on best restoration as well.

 

Really? I though it was pretty close, oh well.

 

denny...??

 

Hey I lost best paint by 1 vote. And the kicker is I vote for the winners car. lol But he did have a nice paint job. Kev and steve cars better be there.

 

yea jay, we're going to have a line of cars all together that you painted....we'll win by pure numbers to get you some publicity.

 

When and where is this happening???Im about 4 1/2hrs north of chicago and would be interested in coming down if it was right around the area.

 

Read the sticky at the top of the page: Thirdgenfest '06 Information. It has all the details.

 

Oh, sorry about that, didnt see it, thanks a lot

 

I'll try to make it, all depends on if i can get the car painted by then.

 

you don't need to have your car painted for it. I went the last 2 years without my car! This will be my first year in attendance with my car there!

 

last year i brought my camaro with no doors, fenders, nose bumper, rear bumper, only a hood and a hatch and i did alright. I would like to thank everyone by the way for that as well.

 

The Camaro is the only long distance reliable vehicle i have, i don't trust my S10 to get me that far, so i really need the camaro done bodywise, which will be close but im gonna push to try and make it.

 

Any good hotels in the area? I'm lazy! Just don't feel like going to the Friday party, driving home , then back again in the a.m.
Also, it say's it's in Crete, but no location? I'm guessin not a big town (like mine) and I'll find it huh.

 

he doesn't put up his address until closer to the show. and there are a ton of hotels in the area. I would check out hotels.com, etc and search for closest to crete, IL to find one.

 

" WOW A THIRD GEN HEAVEN FEST " Where Where Where !!!

 

read the info, but it's in crete, IL

 

Me Bad, after posting Where Where Where I saw the other posts and knew where it was. Anyways it's a bit of a ride but sounds like it would be fun to check out!!

 

damn man you live in his back yard i'll be there but i have a 4 hr ride

 

Yeah it's not to bad.. Crete is about 55 miles from me..So about an hour...Hop on the Express Way and Vroommmm

 

its about 1 1/2 hrs for me. im more worried about getting what i want done on my car in time. im gonna make a list.

 

i know the feeling my car is stripped down to a bare shell, i got alot of work to do before the fest

 

I will be there, even if my 'Bird is not. (Gotta get plates...and the IN-EPA and I are not on speaking terms right now.)

 

I should be there this year as long as nothing comes up . I made it 2 years ago but didn't go last year . I 'll have the 406 in by then too .

 

can you bring the women in the sig too?

 

I can you sure as He!! ask them to come

 

we'll see if I make it, the whole job thing may take me from the mid-west.

 

man i am going to be there for sure.

 

you had better steve....i didnt slave, sweat, and bleed under your car along with you for you not to come....you can spend the weekend at my house, parents said its cool, and matt should be in town, plus i need a cruising buddy incase my car doesnt make it

 

yea you and me both mike. my car is the queen of breaking down but lest hope it gets me up there and back here in one peice

 

hey guys real quick i keep burning up my spark plug wires i need to find a company that sells fiberglass rap for the wires. autozone has some nice accel ones but they are $79 not worth that much. i dont want to have to put that stupid rap over my headers looks way too tacky. any ideas

 

try routing them away from manifolds or heat using .79 zip ties from a home depot type store. otherwise quality wrap is around $80 alone not counting wires

 

hey steve there is a guy on ebay who sells mr. gasket wire holder set for like $25 shipped, i bought then a while back and never put them on but they look nice sitting there

 

Couple of things:

First of all, any idea how far a drive (time wise) that's gonna be from Cuba City/Galena. My parents live there and I figured I'd head there Thursday night, so as to not make the journey completely insufferable (no stereo as of yet to replace the stolen on, though hopefully there'll be one by then). Also, is the cruise just a general camaro thing or mainly for the really nice ones. I mean, mine's not trash, but it is mostly original and the interior leaves a little something to be redone. The exterior, for original, is pretty nice though. Typical problems starting to go though - small rust above the rear wheels. Limited though which is part of the reason I bought this thing. Starting to crack off above the driver's side front wheel...etc.

Oh, and anyone with any ideas on how to get tint and a bowtie off of the rear window without ruining the rear defrost would be nice. I wouldn't have such a problem with it but the tint was done badly and is bubbling off (genius of a red neck that had her before me) and the bowtie is starting to peel.

But I mean, this'll be my last chance to go to a car show up here before I head to Kansas for training, then it's off to Texas for a duty post, so I really want to make it.
That's snow on the hood, not peeling.

 

anyone can go on the cruise, and anyone can show up, even if your car doesn't make it, as long as you are a third gen owner you can come. there were some really nice cars last year and some ones that have seen better days, but everyone there love our cars and enjoys meeting others that share the same enthusiasism (sp?) as for the drive from galena i am not sure, but is that is anywhere south of chicago it wont be too bad, you get to miss all the city traffic

 

Galena's in the northwest corner of Il. So I'm assuming I can probably cut east and south to avoid driving in Chicago. Chicago drivers are worse than Milwaukee and Dallas-Ft. Worth drivers combined I swear.

 

hey i think i have you all beat its 8hrs for me to get there.

 

Hey has Denny got a car to raffle off yet ?

 

i think he's doing a crate motor or full spohn suspension or something like that this year. Maybe we could raffle off the sig pic chicks.

 

i dont know about that steve, there were guys from upper Minnesota that drove down, thats atleast a 12 hour drive

 

If I did it all in one shot I'd be looking at -at least- a 9 hour neighborhood drive.

Which is why I'm doing it in stages.

 

there's no way wisconsin dells is 9 hours from us.

 

Except that in May I won't be in the Dells anymore, I'll be in Minneapolis.

 

well i couldnt make it last year due to me changing from ft. riley to south korea for my duty station. but if i can take leave this may like im hoping too, i will be there. if not then ill have to try yet again. would anyone be leaving from kansas to get there?
