He has '69 camaro front and rear spoilers.

69 Camaro front and rear spoiler. fits well without mods.

The exhaust was custum bent, but the tips are just stainless 3 inchers that are angle cut on a 45. I think they are truck tips. They were just something the local pipe shop had in stock.

Somerset Ky's Somernites Cruise for June 28th is dedicated to Chevelle, El Camino, and Malbus.

OK I'm in was able to use some hotel points scored a room at the Holiday inn express for free. Tell me this is in a good area and I dont need to take shifts with my wife watching the car all night. Will be the first time since I owned it it will be outside overnight. Its the one on Stevie Lynn Drive.   

That is a nice one. I have stayed there but it is relatively new. It is directly across from the movie theater. I am so glad to hear you are coming. You are driving the Chevelle correct?

Have a new engine not supposed to over do it for first 500. Will be bringing on a trailer. Will defiantly be taking it off when I arrive though.

Awesome. I don't think you will have any trouble with leaving your truck and trailor or anything. If you are worried you could store it at my place. I think it would be safe there as well, but I do live about 20 minutes north or somerset. I will try and help you out if I can. I want to find a chassis dyno and check the numbers on my new engine.

Thanks but was more worried about the car in the lot all night.

IC. I don't think you will have any trouble. I am sure you wouldn't want to leave your car at my place, but you could if you wanted to. Can't wait to meet another fellow member.

Made it down here just in time for the downpour. Will have to give it a bath in the am. Hope the weather is better in the morning.

Weather turned out awesome. Was great meeting you and you family. We will be making plans for a trip back down next year.

It was great getting to meet u and your wife as well as the Ghost Rider. The car looked awesome. Can't wait to c all of the pics u took from the show.

Will have to wait a little longer. Came back to no internet at home and work computer wont send pictures. As soon as we get it figured out will post them but they came out very good.

Awesome. Did you guys cruise the strip at all or do anything else exciting along the way?

Great meeting with you. Here are the pics of your car. See you same time next year or maybe sooner.

Who do you think is having more fun me or the wife!

Anyone coming to the cruise this weekend. I hope I can make it. We have been having a lot of issues lately and I just hope I can squeeze in a little time.

You mention you moved the rear bumper closer to the body. I'm very interested in doing something like your talking about. Could you share info on how you accomplished this task. I try to do most of my own work but I'm not a good fabricator, so, any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Here jerry, its not that hard.

Just wondering if anyone has ever tried put together a cruise in for our G3 hobbyist? It would be a lot of fun and great to meet fellow enthusiast.

Certainly it would take some planning and coordination.

Is there any interest from the members?

It's been mentioned, but we were/are all spread out so much that it was hard to find a spot close to a large group of us.. Plus, usually more than a few cars aren't in any condition to drive long distance.

Lol, mines never been more than a hour (50/miles or so) from home in the last 22 years

I tried to attend a get together in 2012 in cordova raceway. it rained and no one showed up. We drove all that way and nothing.

I remember this!

I've also tried to host gatherings, with not much success.  This is the 1 we had the most attendees:
