This is awesome! I'll definitely be there, I live like 5 mins away from the Marriott. Unfortunately I wont be there with my Nova because its under construction.:( But it'll be good motivation to get my car finished!

[novaboy009]

We'll see if the Nova has a motor back in it by then....

If not, I'm bringing the jap car lol.

Kev

[blown69rat]

Where is Hunt Valley, MD. I will be in Ocean City, MD so if it's not too far, I might shoot over.

[hang10]

[YENKO DEUCE REG]

Brian and Joe are coming from SuperCar Workshop, bringing the '69 DANA Nova.

Trying to contact a guy in Lancaster with a green deuce to see if he is bringing it down.

Hey Tom! Not to thread jack, but I was wondering if you decided if you'll be able to make the Northeast Nova Show in September or not. I'd love to see the Orange Cooler :D if you felt like bringing that one. Just wondering is all.

[Doug Timme]

I will be there but, my car wont. It is still waiting on a few minor details...like wheels, paint, interior...:rolleyes:
Doug

[Joe]

If I register a Car,do I have to go the 4 days or can I go just One?I guess the Question is,Is Judging One day only?
It would be Hard for me to go for all 4 Days.
Joe

[novaken]

I have plans to go and bring my car. It is only 4 hrs away for me. Just came back from a car show today and drove my car 3hrs round trip. Ran beautifully. 22 mpg. Gave me the confidence I need to make the trip in my conv. Hope to see ya all up there. Look for my white 62. Probably the only one up there in white anyway. Just a thought, maybe we can all put some sort of sign on our cars with our stevesnovasite.com name on so we can identify each other.

[4GOTTEN1]

Judging will start sometime on Thursday and end Friday morning. I will find out when judging will start and post it.

[YENKO DEUCE REG]

The green deuce owner can't make it, bummer.
M

[sYc_12B]

I'll br there, but no nova. not evan close. the nova seems to be way down on the honey due list :eek:

M,
any chance the 69 will be there ??

[YENKO DEUCE REG]

My (Benjamin's :D ) '69 won't be there :cool: I only worked on it 1 day this year so far :( I was able to strip off all of the paint, amazing what a straight razor blade in a pair of vise grips can do :eek: Any free time I have will be spent prepping the Yenko for the jaunt to Baltimore.
M

[sYc_12B]

was there much paint or was it the orginal paint on there,

[YENKO DEUCE REG]

No original paint under the body panels, it was stripped very well before the repaint. I did find some original paint on the cowl sides behind the fenders, so I cut a piece out and had it scanned. I have not sprayed it out yet, but will use it for the XT wheels. I found out from a relative of Elmo that the car was originally a rallye wheel car, so now I'm on the hunt!

I believe the car was sold new out of Sunderland Chev. in Lemoyne, PA, but was repo'd about 15 months later. After it went through Manheim auto auction, it was sold by a used car lot in Baltimore - and stayed in Maryland until I bought from ya.

I'll try to post some pics of the progress.

[John65ss]

I'll be there... look for the white '65 w/ red interior and Centerline Telstars. That reminds me.. I forgot to register! :eek:

My Dad will be bringing his Evening Orchid ('65 GM color) '70 SS clone too (my daily driver back in 1990-1995 - used to be brown). Look for the purple Nova with the unique hood I helped him fabricate last month. ;)

[Mordorman]

My wife just gave birth to our second daughter.I'll do my best to try to make it for a day.Hopefully drive my 65 down.

[novaboy009]

I'm gonna try to assemble the Blue Light Special and have it ready for Nova Nationals. It's gonna be close!

Kev

[novaken]

I believe you can register once you get there. I have done that in the past. Anyone know for sure? Also, I got my room for 87.00 a night. Let me know if you need a room. I should be able to help you get the same price I did.

[John65ss]

Fortunately, I live about 1 hr away. I will likely only be able to make it on Saturday due to work obligations. My Dad may have his '70 there both Friday and Saturday. He is driving out from Pittsburgh with my Mom, but is planning to stay at our house and driving down each day.

I'll probably try to call and register soon. It will make it easier for them to plan parking spaces etc.

[Joe]

I am Finishing the Wifes Car this week.We will be there atleast one Day with it.

[novaken]

Can't wait to see ya all.

[YENKO DEUCE REG]

My wife just gave birth to our second daughter.I'll do my best to try to make it for a day.Hopefully drive my 65 down.

Wow! Many congrats - my little girl just turned 1 last week, what a joy!! I remember being on very good behavior last year, it was hard to have a new baby on 7/6, and then leave for Cedar Rapids, IA for the Nationals about 3 weeks later! Can you say 'understanding wife'? ;)

[novaboy009]

Hey, does anyone want to run over at Cecil County Raceway? It's almost exactly an hour away in Rising Sun, MD.

I was thinking about maybe heading up there on Friday night or Sunday for the brackets. Anyone game? This is assuming of course, that my car is running and driving successfully at that juncture.

It'll be a trial by fire for the Blue Light Special:):):)

Kev

[hawk7745]

Friday night is usually test and tune and very crowded with young kids with many differant cars and hard to get more than 2 runs...Sat is a much better day

[novaboy009]

Hm, but Saturday was the day I was gonna go down to nationals.... I seem to remember the place clearing out pretty bad on Sundays. I don't want to miss work if I can avoid it.

Kev

[4GOTTEN1]

For those of you coming down on Saturday to the Nationals I suggest come early the awards banquet starts at 2pm and I would say people will be leaving thereafter and the vendors may close up early.

Russ

[YENKO DEUCE REG]

Anybody else coming??
M

[Mordorman]

M,i'll be there rain or shine friday.See you there.

[YIK YAKS 67 SS]

[Joe]

What is the usual turnout with this show?I am beginning to think it is Smaller than I thought.

[hawk7745]

I am taking the car down on Thursday afternoon. Your going to be there Bruce?

[74Novasteve]

I might try to go all three days. I only live about 5 minutes away:D !

[novaken]

What is the usual turnout with this show?I am beginning to think it is Smaller than I thought.

Just come and see, it is very nice. 100+ cars usually show up.

[65prostreet]

I will be passing thru on the way to Ocean City Md early Sat morning,I plan on stopping by for a few hours. Looking forward to meeting all of you! I was hoping to have my 65 there for the show, but I pulled the 355 for a ring and bearing job that has turned into a complete build!

[ProNova]

If I am the Bruce you are asking if he will be there, Yes I will, leaving SmyrnamDe around 1 Thursday and staying till Saturday, Staying with 4gottenone in Baltimore to save on the cost of the motel, I too look forward to meeting many of you, Look for me, I will be the 6'6" 340 pound Man walking around

[YIK YAKS 67 SS]

Yeah Hawk, I'll be going down Thursday morning, I'll give you a call later today, maybe we can hook up and drive down together. I'll be dragging the kids with me so I have to get them up in the morning when I get home from the fire house. Looking to leave around 9 or 10.

[John65ss]

I'll be there for sure on Saturday, and MAYBE on Friday afternoon form 2PM on, assuming I can blow off a half day at work. Look for the white '65 w/ red interior. :)

[novaken]

Hey. If anyone is passing by I-79 in West Virginia on Thursday I am in Fairmont and will follow you in my 62.

[72Orange]

I'm leaving bright and early friday morning. Hope to see some of you there!

[ovrdrive]

Guys and gals,


you might want to check the local forcast because they are calling for 40% chance of rain this weekend. Plus, the temps will be in the 90's with a lot of humidity!!! Ensure all classic Chevy IIs and Novas radiators, air-conditioning systems, and drivers, are ready for this intense heat. Plus, keep and eye on your fellow gear-heads due to the high humidity...
Remeber this slogan.... "Hydrate or die!"

I am going to try and make it to my 1st event but, the car is not done. If I do go, I am definitely taking A LOT of PICTURES!!!!


Dan

[YENKO DEUCE REG]

Awesome show - as always :D
M

[novaken]

It was ok. No parts for sale other that J&W and Joe Grom(Chevy2Only). Ebay has killed the swap meet.

[YENKO DEUCE REG]

SCW picked up a DG coded rallye wheel which is a one year only application for the '67 Camaro's - will go on a '67 Yenko Camaro, and was bought very reasonable. A nice power steering pump was had for less than $40, and I picked up 3 NOS marker lights for '70+ Novas - 2 of which were the real old ones in white vs. the gray - also very reasonable. So, the vendors were indeed few, but there were deals to be had ;)

The car count was pretty good considering the economy, I believe there were 120 +/-, the quality of cars was good.
M

[YIK YAKS 67 SS]

Weather Was Hot, Some Very Nice Cars, Dissapointed In The Number Of Vendors, No Food Or Drinks Available Except For The Hotel, Was This Due To Hotel Rules? Would Have Liked To See A Snowball Stand At The Very Least. Was Going To Take The Kids With Me The Second Day, But There Was Nothing For Them To Do Unless You Were Staying At The Hotel And Could Get To The Pool.

[YENKO DEUCE REG]

Yea, the hotel rules prohibited the food/drink vendors from being set up. I believe that folks brought cases of drinks with them and had them up at the registration trailer. A drink could be had for a donation to the club. This way, the drinks were donated by the members, and available to everyone, with any $ donations put right into the club as well - works pretty slick!!

It was quite hot - especially on Thursday, but Nova people don't let a little heat get in the way of a good time :D We relaxed during the day, and then stayed up into the early morning hours BS'ing in the parking lot ;)

This was only my second Nats to take my Car to, I was at Harrisburg 5 years ago with it and I personally along with wife attended the Mini Nats at Carlise with the GM nationals and also attended Mini Nats in Texas. But any way I enjoyed myself very much. A group of us who tend to stick together (Delaware gang) Always have a blast together, The 67 SS of Bob White Yellow Tweety Bird Wagon of Rusty's and of Cousre my Black Pro Street, We tend to go to eat together and just sit together and are always open to nw comers, Last AC show we sucked in Russ with his Orange SS 78 (4gotten1) into our group mostly cause he is an excellent driver and likes Tatter Tats, He is now a very good friend to wife and I (THANKS AGAIN FOR INVITING US TO STAY AT YOUR HOME)
This show another was sucked in, he may not be everywhere we are but if he is i am sure he will be hanging with us, Krappy Karl as he is known on the e-mail list well he is a perfect fit for us. Any way I met a few people but not enough, Wish I had met more from here but Maybe AC. Again First Chapter did a great job and again thanks to them and also Thanks to all who may have voted for my car. My Nova is NOT a 100% show stopper but I like it, It is built for me by me and as a working man I feel it is a pretty cool ride, a ride that I drive and enjoy. Oh sorry Thanks all

[John65ss]

That's exactly how I feel about mine. ;)
