That's awesome

Well, I have to say after seeing the car in it's day 2 condition at MCACN this weekend, it was absolutely stunning.

Both Sam and Phil's cars looked very cool parked together and were a great display!!

Rich

Rich, they sure were!!

Thanks a bunch guys. We had a blast! Met a bunch of guys from the sYc site in person and met many other new folks who had interest in a pair of matching Chevelles. Here is Woj holding court with some fans!

It was fun to see the two Black Beauties together once again, let's see next meeting in August in Strongsville Ohio.....:dunno:

This was another excellent MCACN show. As always a great place to see fantastic cars and chat with great friends. Here are a few amateur shots of our day-one - day-two 69 SS display. Sam sure knows how to display a car; and, I'm sure he will have some quality photos to post soon.

And, a special thanks to Rich (Mr. Chevy) for providing a really cool MCACN X front license plate. Thank you.

It was great meeting you guys and seeing your cars. This is one of the things I was looking forward to. I've been following the day 2 build and now I've seen it up close. I hope you and your cars get home safe.

----Woj and Sam,,,Two great ambassadors for the hobby! You two talked to so many people you both probably lost your voices...…...Bill S

Loved seeing them both Together!!

Sam, Your detail and cars are off the chart!!! Great job. BBBenny

Both the Chevelles look fantastic together. Kudos to Phil and Sam!

Nice to see the pictures of the 2 cars together. Wish I could have been there to see them in person as I am sure it was a blast.

great display Sam. Real nice!

What a great pair, thanks for the pics!

Badddddd MF!!

Sam Griffith's 1969 L78 Chevelle... WOW!
 

"Fill my eyes with that double vision! No disguise for that double vision...my double vision always seems to get the best of me, best of me! It takes me out of my head... seeing double double..." quote Foreigner. Congrats on a GREAT display guys. Nice seeing Phil again and meeting Sam for the first time. Had a great time at my first MCACN, Don.

Good, good song Don and thanks. Great talking to you last weekend. You have some super stories!!! I sent you a text with some info you were looking for. Take it easy!! :wink:

The car was awesome. I enjoyed talking with you and all of the people at the show. I hope the paint inspection went well.

Hey thanks Freddie. Nice to finally put a face with a (user) name!!

Yes, I did get my paint analyzed at MCACN. Mike Ardito is Dana Mecum’s car collection care taker (and uber restorer) and his friend did a good (given the environment we were in) visual and paint gauge analysis of my paint. Although I thot I had more original paint, it is a relief to finally know more exactly how much there actually is. He reported to me that I have “60% or more” original paint. All horizontal surfaces (hood, roof, rear deck, fender and door tops), door jambs, hinge areas, and generally all areas above side stripes are original. The 2nd owner in his words “reshot the rocker panels” with single stage paint back in the early 90s - well that demarcation actually extended up to the level of the side stripes.

Thanks to Steve Shauger for hooking me up with Mike Ardito to do my paint analysis! :biggthumpup:

In general, I like the blemishes and imperfections of my original paint - it tells a story!!! By the way, Woj and I had fun working on our original paint prior to this show....and Meguiars 7 is our new go-to product!!!!!! :laugh:

Sam, glad to see that Ashton gave you extra space for all that display stuff.....:-)

Yeah, you got that right Eddie. I had no problem hooking up my tow bar and displaying my racing trophies and posters in front of the car. I personally thanked Bob more than once when there wasn’t a wall of humanity 10 people deep surrounding him with all of the responsibilities he has with pulling off such a intricate, world-class car show. Woj and I really loved our location in addition to the extra room we had. We were located next to the three hottest attractions at MCACN: 1. Steve’s Vintage Certification 2. The Snack Bar. 3. On the way to the restrooms! :laugh:


BTW, does anyone recognize this truck driver? She took our cars back to Ohio. She’s not the same driver that brought our cars out to the show! :hmmm:

Simply Awesome Sammitron!! I'm so sorry I missed the show this year and seeing your car. Hopefully next year at the Chevelle show?

Well done and well displayed my friend!!:burnout:

Cheers:beers:
Dave

It was great meeting you Sam and talking with Woj again.

What a cool pair of Chevelles next to each other. Both cars were stunning to say the least.

Kurt

Thanks Dave! Nice spread you’ve got down south. Coming along very nicely - love the blow by blow. Kurt it was nice meeting and talking cars with you too.

Unearthed this photo - dated on the back side as September 20th 19.....................

No, not really just played with the coloring a bit! :rolleyes2:

Another great shot of a fantastic car. :drool:

Well, the time has finally come. It’s time to let her go.:no: I hope the moderators will accommodate me with my “advertising“ in Members’ Rides :naughty: So, for those interested, the first 109 takes her! :wink:

Lol!

Very cool Sam. It pays to be bold.

How cool is that?:headbang:

Way cool. But I want a real one! :beers:

Man....just so cool I’m at a loss for words. And for me to be that way, that’s the ultimate compliment Samminator!! Well deserved. That car is Awesomeness!!:burnout:

Cheers:beers:
Dave

Wow! That is super cool!

That is awesome Sam...

I just bought one!! I had to after helping detail it last year.. LOL

Last MCACN, Tony Karamitsos of Auto World talked to me about the possibility of replicating my Chevelle for the Cars of MCACN series of 1/18 Auto World die cast cars. He and another guy took a bunch of photos of my car, but I didn’t hear anything until Bob A. contacted me in July that Tony wanted to move ahead. I plan to surprise the OO with his own model - so far I don’t think he knows about it! :naughty:

Way to go Sam!! Very very cool.....:worship:

BIG

Sam
The OO is going to love it . Cool:biggthumpup:
Mike

Ever do any C&C's in the Dayton area? I'd love to see it in person.

Hey Dave - had her out early this season to Austin Landing C&C. Do you know when their season ends? May have to get her out one more time....
