All Chevy show, July 16, Omaha NE

[notstock71]

H&H Chevrolet is hosting their all Chevy show July 16. It is a great time and is FREE. Last year I think the number of cars was almost 500.

Dad and I have both already registered. Anyone else planning on coming?

hey notstock. nice hearing from you again. i will have my rides at the all chevy show. have you been to flashbacks yet?

[notstock71]

I haven't had time to get to Flashbacks. We move in 4 weeks and their is A TON of work at to do on the new house. I just got the car out Saturday for the first time this year. It felt good going down the road.

Hey guys!
That was a good show last year!
Pretty sure I'll go... not sure what I;'ll take, hope the 63 might be road worthy by then...

Good to see you guys around still, I've been so busy the last couple of months... don't lke it!

I don't see any classes. Do people bring unfinished cars? I'd like to bring my 76 SS but it's not show worthy.

[impdaddy]

good question ZOOM. The cars vary by condition. from ok to super show. I have been going since it started years back.(i have crs so won't tell you how many years). there is no charge , no classes. no competition, free tshirt, dash plaque(sp) and doorprizes possible with the registration. go to hhchevy.com to preregister or day of show. better to preregister. see you there.

here are some pics i took 2 yrs ago at the all chevy show

Thanks for the info impdaddy. I have the drivers side quarter cut off my car right now. I should have it finished before the show. My car is rough but since it's a no competition show who cares. I'll be there.

[notstock71]

Zoom, glad you decided to come.

I talked to a guy here at work and he might be bringing his 72. It's a Rally Nova to boot but he hasn't put the stripes back on it. The car is black on black, with rally wheels.

Anyone else coming??

I have talked with the son of the yellow Yenko Duece owner in Lincoln. (the one with the sidepipes on it, unrestored car). They are thinking about coming up, not sure if the Yenko Vega will be making the trip with them.

I just added my 63 to the list. It not a show car, but a nice driver.

It's nice to see a few more people planning on coming. Anyone else?? Dad and I usually arrive at H&H by 8:00 am to get a good parking spot. If anyone is interested in hooking up to convoy in let me know so we can arrange it. Dad and I live at 154th and 168th St and Harrison St so that is where we are coming from.
Just a thought I had if anyone is interested.
Lewis

Not sure if I'm going to have my car done in time now. Fixing all the rust in the wheel housings is taking forever.

[ChevyII MD]

Lewis,
So you'll be going down Harrison around 7:45? I'll be standing on the cornor of Brookridge and Harrison waving on the Parade! LOL

Mark (giong but not bringing anything:-( )

[notstock71]

Mark,
Call me dumb but where is Brookridge St?

We'll be going Harrison to HWY 50 then over to L St. L St down to 84th. We'll probably head out by 7:30 to try and get our spot on the 84th St curb so we can set up the canopy.

I don't think anyone else is meeting up with us so it will just be me and dad.

If anyone is looking for something to do Saturday, that will be cleanup day for the car. I can't keep it clean in the new neighborhood with all the dust in the air.

[ChevyII MD]

Yous not dumb! You could name of any street in yyour neighborhood and I'd be dumb! LOL

Brookridge is the only break in the medium on Harrison going north between 132nd light and the 126th light.

I can understand the dust! there's so much construction west of me... when we moved into that area 13 years ago Harrison was a gravel road past 156th.

What time on Saturday? I might be able to break free for a bit...

PM me with your phone and or your address...

Mark

[notstock71]

Ok, I know where it is now. It heads north from Harrison to go towards the airport. I had a few friends who lived in there when I was in high school. I sent you a PM. I was kidding about the helping clean part but you are more than welcome to stop by anytime.

ok boys look forward to seeing you on sunday. I will have my 96 impala ss instead of the nova. 2 reasons, 1. the 96 has a/c and 2. I am kinda dealing with carb issues and don't want to f*&^ with it in 102 heat. sse you then guys .:chev:

[notstock71]

I had a great time today guys. Thanks for stopping by. Unfortunately the car did not fare so well on the way home. Lets put it this way. It got so hot that it burned the paint off the heads. Hopefully the engine is still good. After a LONG bath in the radiator from the hose it seems to be running ok. I'm going to drop the oil tomorrow. I'm trying not to get my hopes up though. It was TOO hot. Dads Chevelle was puking antifreeze too. This is the first time either of us have had a problem with overheating.

Lewis

[notstock71]

Everyone else get home ok?

[ChevyII MD]

Glad to see you got home Lewis!
Well 100 degrees at 3 in the afternoon! holly $hit!
Hope the Nova doesn't have anything more wrong than scorched paint...
You make it OK Impdaddy?

Mark

[impdaddy]

yeah guys I did, Thanks . Dude that was an AWESOME burnout when you left. my guess is that the motor is still ok.good luck

[Rich_66]

Awesome 2 tone grey and green 67 sedan there. Man it was hot. If it was a nova and it was there I looked at it. but I didn't stay long. Just came to see, Rode with a freind in his 69 Camaro no air.

[ChevyII MD]

Awesome 2 tone grey and green 67 sedan there.
No doubt atbout that!
It was really hard to tell it was a 2 tone until you get to the right angle...
Loved the little flame at the taillight area on the side quarter panel...

Hey Lewis you look at your engine yet?

Mark (that's all I've done lately is "look" at my engine)

[notstock71]

I haven't had time to look at it. We pushed it back out on the drive and stuck the garden hose in the radiator with the car running to cool it off. It seemed to cool off pretty quick. When I got home I pulled right in the garage. I killed the ignition and the car kept running, popping and backfiring like crazy. The wife ran for cover. The smoke/steam was pouring out from the hood. I wish I wouldn't have waited on replacing that temp gauge now. I forgot to mention that the fan belt was thrown off too. I don't know when it happened but my guess is somewhere on the way home it got tossed at a 6500 rpm shift when I was messing with dad. ;)

Once the car cooled off it was ideling ok in the drive so I am hopefull everything is ok. I'm gonna drop the oil and pull the valve covers. Anyone have an LS1 laying around (just in case I killed the 406)?

[impdaddy]

Lewis: You have us in suspense. wtf happened with the motor? is it still good i hope? tell dad hi. :D

[ChevyII MD]

Yeah... whats the deal???
Oh and sorry no LS1's laying around... I wish!

Mark

[notstock71]

Sorry for the delay in posting, I have been busy and to top it off I partially tore a ligament in my right knee. I haven't gotten much done since. Things are going better now. I plan on dropping the oil tomorrow and checking it out. If everything looks good I'm thinking about throwing my oldest son in the car for a trip to Sonic on 156 and Q. The local Mopar club meets there every Friday night. I figure a Chevy thrown in the mix would do some good.

Lewis

[notstock71]

Well I checked it out. There was a little gas in the oil :confused: . I topped off the antifreeze, crossed my fingers and fired it up. It ran good, no smoking, idled at 1000. I'm going to be ordering my Autometers this week so this never happens again.

I still want my LS1 though. I saw Banks makes a twin turbo kit for the old small blocks. Maybe I need to save my nickles and dimes and go through the 406 and top it with the turbos

[impdaddy]

Great news dude. Glad to hear that. now you can go to Flashbacks haha

[notstock71]

The car is not moving until the gauges are replaced. It's too bad with the weather being sooo nice.

[ChevyII MD]

Gauges replacd yet?

Today is a perfect day to cruise!
Like impdaddy said... FLASHBACKS!

Mark (haven't had time to do anything to mine!):(

[impdaddy]

shoot boys too late to get it out tonight. besides that, my 'little' boy is getting married saturday. too much crap going on. Mark, did you get any good pictures of Nancy going out the door?

[notstock71]

I still haven't done the gauges but I have had it out a few times to pick my son up at school. Nothing like loading a 4 year old and a 17 month old in the Nova. They both seem to enjoy the car even though I get some strange looks from other parents, especially when I start it. :)

[ChevyII MD]

Naw didn't get pictures of Nancy... I wonder if she was escortted off campus by security??? LOL

Lewis don't ya just love it when you fire up the car and women and children run screaming!!! LOL

Got some painting done on my Chevy II... slowly but Shirley...

MD

[impdaddy]

hey don't call me Shirley!!! lol
