It's the kids first real look up close at a car we've seen built on TV and read about in Magazines. An awesome life changing moment (for me). He just wants to get in it.

this Nova was incredibly detailed and has the familiar black primer like most of my cars from 30 years ago.

this car was the cleanest 67 I have ever seen.

wow, I really appreciate all the work that Bruce (Xplant) does to provide us with all the excellent photos. This takes some time and now the boy is home from school and he will boot me off his machine. The camera and photos are his. More later...enjoy!

Nice Shots Chris...

Hey Verne...what's up with the cool El Camino?

Re: SUPER CHEVY Maple Grove Raceway July 06
 

That's just one of my "modern" daily drivers. Runs great and has A/C! (NOOOO, you can't use it for Member's Rides!!!) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif............ https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

Re: SUPER CHEVY Maple Grove Raceway July 06
 

IT's just a driver, not that nice really.
Besides, that car is NOT the focal point of that photo!!!

Re: SUPER CHEVY Maple Grove Raceway July 06
 

I'd like to see more of the elCamino too, a 68?

Hey Bruce can I post videos of the drag races?
Same as stills? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: SUPER CHEVY Maple Grove Raceway July 06
 

Nope, '69. Never could understand why the Feds made them put those dorky rear side marker lights on the quarters when the taillights wrapped around to the side!!! All they do is clutter up the quarters. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif Thank God we have a government that's looking out for us..................... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif

I sure do appreciate those JULY shots, considering what the thermometer is doing right now.............. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif
Thanks https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif

Re: SUPER CHEVY Maple Grove Raceway July 06
 

yes, the marker lights and vent windows threw me.
my first chevy was a 67 el camino.

Chris...video works fine!

Just a bit of torque on the "green", eh?

el camino needs a few sand bags for traction

Re: SUPER CHEVY Maple Grove Raceway July 06
 

That's Kenny Walsh doing his crowd-pleasing thing. The car is gutted like a Thanksgiving turkey, not even a radiator support in it - just some aluminum angle. He has it set up that way just for those RH bumper dragging launches. (appearance money).

for those of you who have owned both 65 and 67 chevelle's you know the wheels from the later do not fit on the former. without altering the ride height and wheel well metal the tire size is very limited in the 65. After several tries this 65 owner managed to wedge in 15 x 7 3/4 and report they only rub on slow turns. I believe he said he's owned this car since 1967.
