A long week......

[Ken Hayes]

Going to get the Chevelle out of storage one week from today...(hope it aint raining).

Only thing I have scheduled for it is a general clean-up and put on some tri-bar center caps on the Cragar SS wheels.

First car cruise we will go to is at the Super K-Mart, Telegraph & 8 Mile Rd. on April 27th put on by the "Metrocruisers Car Club".

[flash]

I hope the weather cooperates for you and no rain . Im hoping the bodyshop decides to kick my truck out this week too but Im not holding my breath.

[Ken Hayes]

Thanks John.......and good luck to ya.

[Ms Grumpy]

That K-mart is pretty close to my house Ken. I know that they have been closing K-marts, I hope they keep that one and the cruise.

[Ken Hayes]

That's the only "Super" K Mart in the area so I think they're pretty safe. If you go onto www.metrocruisers.com they have some pretty neat cars and trucks. We are the last pic under the #6 friends list.

Hope the weather is good for you also.

[Ken Hayes]

Thanks Ray..........we had a dusting of snow this morning........gone now.

[flash]

There you go cussing again.

[Ken Hayes]

Dem dog-gone four letter words are getting me in trouble.

[flash]

I blame you Ken ,its snowing here with high winds of 30 to 40 mph and the temps are dropping like a rock.

[Ms Grumpy]

I was driving about 11am this morning and it was almost a white out. Then 4 hrs later it was gone. Nary a trace except for a few wet spots on the street and the piles of black snow had some white on them. And here I though it was spring.

[flash]

I am soooooo ready for warm weather ,this sux.

[Ken Hayes]

4 days and countin..........I'M SO READY !!!!!!

[shadowgray396]

Hope it's a nice day for you when you bring it home.

[Ken Hayes]

Thanks Ray.......I hope so too.........its also opening day for the Detroit Tigers.......mid 50's

[Ms Grumpy]

Just get it in the morning Ken. The weather man says a chance for rain in the afternoon. But then again, this is Michigan, just wait 5 minutes and the weather will change.

[Ken Hayes]

They open at 9:00am and we'll be in the parking lot before that.

Last year I took the battery out, locked it up, covered her up and took the keys with me. Didn't know I wasn't supposed to do that. This year, just disconnected the battery, covered her up and went home. Pretty sure it might need a jump this year. When you go to pick it up, they come out into the building with you and bring a battery jump box just in-case and help you fold up the cover. Guys at North Redford Towing are great and a few of them are car guys.

3 DAYS AND COUNTING...........YEEE-HAWW

[shadowgray396]

Good luck, I bet it starts right up for you.

[flash]

[Ms Grumpy]

[shadowgray396]

Looks good and sounds good.

[flash]

I like it ,what is the plate hanging below the license plate ,car club sign ?

[Ms Grumpy]

I am pretty sure it is flash.

[Ken Hayes]

That's the car club I belong to "ROAM'N CHARIOTS"

[shadowgray396]

Like it on there

[Ken Hayes]

Its like "Old School". Back when everyone used to lower their cars the plaques were made out of steel and were close to the ground and called "Drag Plates" and used to throw sparks. Ours are made out of aluminum about 5/16" thick.

[flash]

I would love to see a close up pic sometime ,its pretty cool .

[Ken Hayes]

Here ya go John. Its 1/4"x 5 1/2"x 9"

[flash]

Ken ,thanks for the pic ,that looks great ,none of the clubs we have been in have anything like that ,very cool.

[Ms Grumpy]

I agree flash. I like that sign. I do have to ask though if you have had any damage from the sign swinging back and forth while you are driving ?

[flash]

He drives so fast the sign just sticks straight out .

[Ken Hayes]

Plaque never swings back n forth, so no damage at all.

[Ms Grumpy]

Any idea where those were produced ?

[Ken Hayes]

I'll find out.

[Ms Grumpy]

I have been searching the internet to find a company that does them without it costing an arm and a leg. Still looking.

[carpoor]

You need to make friends with someone who owns a water jet.

[Ken Hayes]

Think they're made out of state..........still checkin.
