Nope.
Shame y'all missed it...beautiful evening!! Yes crowded but still manageable. We parked down by the old post office.
Also took the wagon to the Bojangles cruise Friday night...really enjoying those cooler nights!! Finally.

I had a big get together for the audio geeks this weekend and pulled my car out of the garage. These guys want to get at the electrical outlets to run their equiptment and I didn't want them walking around the car multiple times.

So I warm the car up and take it around the block. When I get back in front of my driveway I decided to have some fun and did a pretty good burn out. I took off down the street where one of my neighbors flagged me down. When I stopped he was clapping his hands and said "I didn't know she had it in her". Almost everytime that I saw Arnie, my neighbor, I was just heading out and never really got on it.

A little while later, one of my friends at the party told me that she was in the kitchen earlier when she heard some asshole doing a burnout outside. I told her that was me ! I was the asshole......

You should have told her that it takes one to know one. ;)

put on my fenders and and tried my best to get them aligned the best i could. now tomorrow put the hood on and get on the interior :)

Hey Ms Grumpy, we need to get that thing to the track and do some proper burnouts and get a better ET than we did at Chevellebration. What do you think?

Did someone say burnout.????
Tires had too much tread...lol

I changed my hood hinges this weekend. As most are aware, the factory hinges leave....much to be desired. They work but even new, just don't provide the stability when closing that I would like.

Last week I ordered a set of gray billet hinges form Ring Brothers and if I ignore the cost, I am very happy! I didn't want polished or annodized black so these gray (really more silver than gray) hinges were exactly what I wanted!

These hinges do not flex so when closing the hood closes squarely every time. When opening, I can pull the hood release and the popping action alone is nearly enough to raise the hood all by itself. I can use a single finger and guide the hood the rest of the way up.

If anyone needs a set of aftermarket hinges in pretty good condition, PM me.

Just looked at the link wow! But if they do what you want we'll worth it!

I was sitting at work today during my lunch break and decided I needed to go home and get the vert out .I made it back to work with 1 minute to spare ,then when Joan got home from work we went for dinner in it .
