Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

I took these. Not the best and certainly do not do the car justice. It turned out beautifully, congrats to Ken and crew. It will be great to park these two side by side some day soon.

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

Double what BBBBenny and the Jets had said! Truly a great show with a killer L78 display! (Thanks Dan) Had a great time even if Just bad Joe and his mother Becky never stopped pickin on me. Only regret was that CheeseWhizz https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif and Cumby were MIA both nites for some bench racing and great dining at the Hotel and after in the lobby. Met alot of fine people and as always Darren was there for mine and Benny's needs, which included a battery for Bennys' truck cause the "dope" aahh I mean the good guy that he is, left his trailer lites and radio on. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif Hopefully all the mid-west people enjoyed their Pa. potato chips and Philadelphia TastyKakes. Next year Stefano PROMISED to take us all to Gibsons for dinner on him. I thought that was real nice. Missed Gags and Howie too. Happy Thanksgiving to all you guys. Sam

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

Sorry, didn't mean it to be personal

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

-------Another well deserved BIG thank you to Darren for Fridays feast. A truly nice guy. Im glad everyone liked my old car, the L89 Elco (74 to 76). That was one I never should have let go of, but hey,,,I made $1500 on it!!!! Although it was always an exceptionally clean, well cared for car, those guys really put the touch on it as the car simply looked fantastic. There were, however, far too many great cars to ever hope to pick a favorite. Thanks also to Bob A, his wife, and thier team for a really fun weekend..........Bill S

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

All-

Thanks very much for the kind words. Its simply a no brainer and a pleasure to be associated with such a fine group of friends. I apologize to anyone I failed to track down, most notably Kwhizz. Ken I owe you big time.

Per my wife, next year I need to get myself organized a little better... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

A big THANKS to Mark Webster. Mark great job putting together the BIG CAR display. It had a little bit of everything from a beautiful low mile Z24 car to a never before seen 409 x 400hp Biscayne. Truely a fun show. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ouguysrock.gif

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

You know its a great show when Billy brings his car out.. Great to finally see it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

Congrats to bbbenny on the awards. We're pleased to have helped him along with his project. And thanks for bringin ol Sammy with ya. Amazing how well you two get along. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif
Always good to see everyone from the Clary's, to the SCW group,to the local area folks like Darrin, Frank, and dad, and the Nickey crew.
We were very pleased, and honored to be able to park with Helen, and the Gibb folks this time since we brought the nbr 21 Gibb nova. I was almost like bringing home a long lost relative back into the family fold.
Also thanks to Mr Ashton for a very fine event. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Not to be a jerk but, shouldn't the display read "console with gauges" instead of "counsel"?

That Burnish Brown 69Z sure looks familiar, nice to see it amongst the best in the country! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

Dog Dish Caps are the way to go.

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

Who's brown Z28 was that ? Who restored it ? Very nicely done and the paint body was killer.

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

I performed the paint and body, the owner John Karvonen did all the drivetrain/suspension/and disassembly and reassembly. I was happy to be a part of that project https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif-no expense was spared, top of the line inside and out top to bottom.

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

I talked to John for a few minutes Saturday. Actually, he approached me and said he recognized me from the Gibb Show this year. VERY NICE Z! I think he said this was his first restoration. Love the color and unique combo of options. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif Here's another look at the car.

Pretty cool Sequoia Green '68 Chevelle next to him too. Sorry for the photo quality. I discovered later I had the camera set on night time mode.

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

Looks like John and Bob did a superb job! I have talked with John on many occasions and I know that even under all the killer outside work the inside, down under and around the corner is just as nice and correctly done. Maybe those boys in the upper peninsula (frozen tundra) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif of Michigan will start a resto business of their own. Great car John and even a better color. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif Sam

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

------I have known John for more than a couple of years now and he is a great young (young to me at least) guy. The hobby will be left in good hands with guys like him coming along. He is about 12 hours from anywhere and that makes the level of his restoration all that much more interesting. I cant wait to see the L78 hes doing now as it will no doubt be an a## kicker!!!!!!!!!........Bill S

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

So nice to see the only '69 Z built with the standard hood https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif

Seriously, very nice car and an awesome color.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

Can I have it ? That is a great Z.

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

------Did you notice the lack of D80 as well. A very refreshing Z-car,,,,shown as delivered. Doesnt happen that often. If you watch E-bay you would think every 69 Z delivered came with spoilers and cowl-induction........Bill S

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

It was also a M22 car with a open diff.

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

Is John's Z in the Members Rides section yet? Attention to detail is second to non in my opinion. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
