kel Oct 14th, 01, 04:35 AM Looks like a great turnout!
What kind of car was the fuel injection installed in? It was the blue car. Looks pretty cool.
Is that your Z11 in the first few pics Dave? Pretty sharp.

Shtgnr Oct 14th, 01, 11:05 AM Kel the fuel injected motor belongs to the GT-40 kit car.This was only a VERY small fraction of the cars that showed up. There were Panteras, Camaros, chevelles,Novas,
Fords, Mopars, And GM products galore, streetrods of all makes and years , and even an old Dodge Altered Wheelbase car cruzin up and down the street.

kel Oct 14th, 01, 02:36 PM Sounds like a great time Dave.
Bill, I like the look of your bumper guards. I always thought about adding those.
Very nice car. I also like the stripe. Part of me wishes I did that one rather than the bumble bee stripe that I went with. Still like mine though too.

Z11/396 Oct 14th, 01, 04:14 PM kel,that 68 of yours looks great,i really like that blue..........
kel Oct 14th, 01, 05:26 PM Thanks Dave.
It came out really good.
I should have the interior done within the next week or so. Just got the headliner done last Thursday.
I entered the car in a local show on Saturday. They had a project class and since my interior is gutted, I entered it in that class. Couldn't believe it but I won my class. It was a pretty fun time. We had five members there and we all won our classes. Clean sweep.
Maybe I can make it out there one day for one of your cruise nights (with or without the car).

Shtgnr Oct 14th, 01, 09:22 PM Thanks Kel I seen your car as very nice as well. Dave and I had a great time cruzin and socializing. The bumper guards you speak of ar original, both front and rear. The car is in the condition we purchased it is. The second owner was a very famous local racer named Johnny Loper and in talking with him he tells me everything on the car was as original as he did nothing except store the car. The third owner was a friend of Mr Loper's and he did nothing but store this car in his carport when my wife found it there and we asked to purchase it. when he said it was for sale, well, as they say, the rest is history! haha. Glad ya liked it though.

jackr Oct 15th, 01, 02:02 PM This cruise was something different. Rather than the park it and look at it, there were a lot of cars "performing" on the street. It is great to see street rods, muscle cars and even kit cars doing what they should. It was impossible to see all the cars that showed up. A couple favorites were an altered wheelbase 65 AFX Plymouth and the Harrell 427 Nova...and there was this VW bug that acted like a 10 second car..
Z11/396 Oct 15th, 01, 03:29 PM man...that bug,he must of thought he was on the autobaun..he was hauling a%%.and never racing anyone.
