Who's going this year?

Henry and I will be there, Lynda will be in LA. How about Back to the Bricks?

I'll be at both as usual.

Guess I better get the windows back in the Chevelle, just in case it rains.

I'll be downtown Sat for the Bricks. I should be there real early. I don't think that I'll be doing the rolling cruise. Way too many mini-vans and idiots. Plus, my clutch leg gets pretty well used, and all my junk has pretty stiff clutches.

Still don't know for sure which car I'm taking to Frankenmuth. I think I'm registered, so mabey I put it on the form. Our canopy got ruined last year in the rain storm, so unless I go get another one, I'll be sitting in one of you guys canopy. The thing won't fit in the hot-rod anyway.

Ric and I have 10' canopies, if John comes that makes 3 so we should be good.

Good thing I checked. I wasn't registered yet. I will be taking the 34, unless it rains. If that's the case, I'll take the Nomad.

I'm sorry the Canopies both say "Chevelle" and Tony's bringing the 34? I did not know that there is a 1934 Chevelle.

2784

Do you want to park with us in Flint? Last year there was only one Chevelle in the whole group and it was not mine. I will be bringing the Chevelle to both this year since the damn XXXXX is not working in the Camaro yet and I don't want to be late.

2785

Met up with Eric yesteday and went to the Tune-up party in Linden (about 200 cars) and going to Fenton's tonight. The Rolling Cruise is next week on Wed and Thursday and I plan on going if I'm in town.

We'll stick with the Chevelle canopies. That white canopy of Tony's was kind of tacky looking anyway.

I'm bring a Chevelle, ah, that's the only old car I have. It's so old it doesn't even have a damn XXXXX!

After the success at driving to the Ohio Show I am considering doing Frankenmuth. If I do, would there be room to park with you guys ?

This is also the first year that I did not pay for a spot on Woodward for the dream cruise. I am in the Berkley Parade on Friday night and was thinking about driving up to Flint on Saturday.

I was asked many times at the Ohio show about Woodward and Flint, I also got some negative feedback about Flint, which surprised me. Of course, since I live a mile from Woodward it has always made sense just to do the Dream Cruise. What do you guys think ? Is Flint worth the hour drive on Saturday for me ?

Hank70SS
08-08-2013, 06:55 PM
Definitely room at Frankenmuth, just let us know and we'll stake out a spot for you.

Flint is not a cruise like the Dream Cruise, at least on Saturday. Downtown is blocked off and you park on Saginaw, the main street, and off the side streets. Then walk through town and look at the cars. Unlike the Dream Cruise, Flint actually wants you there and welcomes you. Didn't get the feeling that most of the cities on the Dream Cruise wanted you there the last few times I was there.

You have to ask Ric about parking. I talked to him today and spots may be limited.

Hope to see you at one or both.

FlintTony
08-09-2013, 04:53 AM
Ric, I can just drill a few holes in the roof of the 34 and put a roof rack on it. That way, I can carry my own stinkin canopy. I'll get one with a big blue oval.

The last few years, the black hood-rats have shown up in force at the Bricks. They do the typical bullshit that they are known for. This year, the show is going to end a 6PM. The organizers think that will help keep the scum from doing much damage. They are just getting out of bed about that time. The cops have set up in a big building, and will be watching for any black crowds to show up again. They hope to push them back to their own hoods. The stadium that is a few blocks from Saginaw Street is supposed to have free rap concert, hoping they will go there instead of coming downtown. It's a damn shame these people ruin everything they come in contact with.

There won't be as many volunteers this year either, so parking will be on a first come, first parked deal. They used to have sections for different groups, but it doesn't look like that will be the case this year.

There is normally so many cars they can't all be seen.

Ms Grumpy
08-09-2013, 09:06 PM
Hank I am going to see if I can still register for Frankenmuth and as soon as I do I will let you know.

Back to the Bricks, I am going to talk to grumpy and see what he thinks about coming up.

Hank70SS
08-10-2013, 06:51 AM
You can still register for Frankenmuth. Don't know your plans, just come up for one day or leave the car and come back. Pretty sure you won't find a hotel room. You can come up Friday, bring 2 cars and leave the Chevelle overnight and come back on Saturday.

RBeckman
08-11-2013, 10:24 AM

As for Flint, I still have my 10 spots on Union and Saginaw St. and have to be there before 6am to hold them.

At this point, I'm still planning on going to the Frankenmuth show. If we can get a room, we'll be doing the block party on Friday night and do a walk thru at the show on Saturday before heading home. I've always wanted to do the Bricks, but with all the bad publicity, I've been apprehensive, although, if I were to get there early like 6 or 7am, I would be ready to leave way before the hooligins start rolling in. Have to think about this....

FlintTony
08-12-2013, 11:42 AM
Brian,

Don't worry too much about the idiots at the Bricks. One of my good friends is the Undershirt for Genesee County. I talked to him last weekend about the Police presence. He says that he is confident they will be able to handle anything that may arrise. They have some pretty neat plans in place, along with all of the surrounding law enforcement agencies. Come on over. Lots of rides to see, plus I want to hear that new Camaro of yours.

We have our same room at the Bavarian Inn. No balcony like Tonys but it is convenient. I did register the other day so we're all set.

Tony, I think you should rent us one of those Amigos so we can cruise around the park. Stop in the middle of the road so no one can get by. Honk to make people get out of the way, basically just be a pain in the ass.

Ric, send me the info on back to the bricks.

Ms Grumpy
08-15-2013, 01:09 PM
I have to get thru this weekend and I will be talking to you guys about Frankenmuth, if you will still have me. lol Trying to see if I can get a golf cart for grumpy.

Hey Ric,
If I decide to go to the Bricks, do I need to be there by 6am as well?
I'll let you know Friday night if I'm going or not.
I would need some additional info as to where to go so I know what to program into the Garmin.
Thanks!

Got a call from the Bavarian Inn yesterday. Apparently theres been a few cancellations. They offered us a choice of 3 different rooms. One was the street view (parking lot) which is what we had before. Second choice was a river view w/a balcony, and third was with a whirl pool Jacuzzi which was the most expensive. We took the middle of the road, (river view) for one night.
So, it looks like we'll be going to Frankenmuth!! Waving See you there on Friday Sept.6 !! :D

See you there Brian.

Ric, anybody else coming? Eric said he was, Mike, John? Should I bring the grill? Lynda won't be there so no pasta salad or home made cookies but I can bring other things.

I'll have to call Ray, see if he's coming at least for Saturday, probably not. My neighbor Darrel is coming up for the day on Friday but he's not bringing his Chevelle.

FlintTony
08-26-2013, 05:52 PM
I called Ray last week and left him a message. I'll be dipped in shit, he called me back! He is going to come up Sat, minus his car. Said he would hang out and shoot the shit. I don't know about the grill. If you do, I'll bring a couple packages of Kogels viennas and some buns. I am limited for space in the Hot Rod.

Ms Grumpy
08-26-2013, 07:20 PM
This past weekend I was in Chicago at one of the National events for Remote Control Race Cars. It is amazing how fast these things go. Anyway, one of grumpy's buddies is going to be racing his Camaro near Grand Rapids and we want to go. But that is also Frankenmuth, so I am torn. I am thinking that if we do Frankenmuth, it will be minus the car. We will do the track on Saturday and Frankenmuth on Sunday.

Still figuring out plans. But I am really going to try to fit everything in.

08-27-2013, 07:18 AM
Tony, I'll see what I can fit in the Chevelle, Henry may have to bring his truck too. If so I can bring another cooler with some burgers if you guys want them.

Nancy, it's kind of a waste to drive up on Sunday. Most people are packing up and heading home Sunday morning. Some hang around until the afternoon but the majority are long gone.

Not very good but you're welcome to borrow it. Is it something that will show? I only have the flux wire, no gas so the welds aren't as smooth and purty. You need the gas for doing sheet metal and to get a nice smooth weld. I have welded a few things so if looks aren't critical let me know, we can take care of it.

What about Friday ?

08-27-2013, 05:53 PM
Nancy, The big street party is Friday night. There will be hundreds, if not a couple thousand cars on main street and the side streets. They close down main street at arond 5, then the cars fill it up. It goes till 10 or so, then they let the cars cruise up an down main. There will be plenty of cars in the show field too. Main street has food vendors, lots of different types of live bands, and a drunk Tony on it. Lots and lots of people. Sometimes it's too damn crowded, so I find a spot to sit a spell.

It's on the frame rail were the stabilizer bar bolt (the uclamp) goes, it was stripped missing when I got the car so I put in a oversize bolt in it and it looks like shit. Not sure what to do to it, weld a plate or fill in the hole some and tap.

There's so many cool cars that come just for the block party that you won't see at the show. I'm getting excited just thinking about it. Waving

Hank70SS
08-28-2013, 07:49 AM
I agree the big block party is something to see. If you can make Friday, great. Saturday is also good because the park fills up with cars on Saturday so either day would be good. Sunday, half the cars are gone by 9 am.

If you could get to the back side I would weld a plate, but you can't. Should be able to build up the hole with weld enough to tap it. Frames are thick enough that hopefully it doesn't melt back and make the hole bigger. May be able to drill the hole bigger and slide a plate or washer inside and weld it. Hard to get it in the right position but there are enough holes in the frame that we should be able to do it.

Hey, I think one of mine is stripped too. Pretty sure I got a nut up inside the frame and was able to bolt it down.

So I was in Mt. Pleasant today and it was raining really, really hard. Then driving down I-75 and people were pulling over to the side because you couldn't see. So I figured you guys got soaked. I hope that the rain missed the Friday night events. We are trying to get up there Saturday, the kids keep coming up with last minute things they need for school. They are driving me nuts.

Hank, do you want to meet again at McDondalds on Owen Rd in Fenton for the trip up to Frankenmuth. I'll get a hold of Eric and image he will join us for the trip up. I try to see if John is going well. I'm sure Mike is going as well and will see if he wants to meet us around Grand Blanc.

Tony, what time you going to be up there hold us a spot in line?

Anyone else going? Mas we need to know so we can work our magic on holding spots.

I'll bring tent, table and what ever food we need. Also have a folding hammock for the old guys that need to take their afternoon restie.

FlintTony
09-02-2013, 11:23 AM
I call DIBS on the hammock!!!!....You guys will most likely be there before me. We have to wait for Andrea to get here from lansing before we leave.

They do need to change the way they let us in the Park. The people that are pre-registered should be able to just drive in, park, then anytime during the week-end go get the goodie bag. They could email a pass along with the confirmation.
I may just shoot on up early and have Kathy drive up when Andrea gets here. If I do, I can save a couple of spots with my chairs. Go ahead and sleep in Ric. I'll call you when it's time to wake up.

Hank70SS
09-03-2013, 10:49 AM
Ric, we'll meet you in Fenton. Asked Eric about meeting there at Back to the Bricks, seemed like he was good with that. Our neighbor Darrel is coming up Friday, he said he would bring some polish dogs for the grill, they're good. I'll see what kind of burgers we have in the fridge when I get home. We don't get home until tomorrow evening so only have Thursday to cut the grass, clean up the Chevelle and pack our stuff so it'll be a busy day.

See you guys Friday morning.

Tony, just make sure you Walmart Chinesse made canopy does not clash with the Chevelle Canopy's (that we had imported from India made with child labor), like the one you had last year that "accidently :D" got destroyed in the freak wind gust. I'm just glad the Bavarain Inn deleted all the video footage from last year or Hank would be in trouble for "the wind gust".

2848

I'll bring the paper plates, I have some real special "Justin Beiber" designer paper plates that I know you will all enjoy. I have napkins and plates left from Haley's open house from last year. I also have some buns that I found in the trunk of the Camaro yesterday that we never used last year that I will bring...they are a little green but i'm sure they are ok.

Walmart? You bumped your head. I won't set foot in that store. This is actually a piece of shit that was made in "Mainland China". I LOOKED THE INTERNET FOR AN AMERICAN MADE ONE. I actually found some, but none that will fit in the hot-rod. Next one I buy will be American made. I'll sell you this one after the week-end. Cheap!
Don't scrape that green off. It adds flavor.

Hank, that grill has wheels doesn't it? Hook a rope on it and pull it up there.

Hell yes bring them buns Ric. We can always through them on the grill and toast up any of the green stuff, we'll call them seasoned 'artisan buns'. I won' bring my cheap paper plates if Ric has designer ones, we'll dine in eloquence. Champagne anyone?

The grill will fit. No spare but who needs them?

Anybody have any of the short, fat 16.4 oz propane cylinders bring them. I thought I had more but I guess Henry used them up. Even the skinny ones for a propane torch. I probably have enough but don't want to run out, can't bring the 20lb tank in the Chevelle, unless I leave Henry or the beer home and the beer is coming.

Tony, just make sure you Walmart Chinesse made canopy does not clash with the Chevelle Canopy's (that we had imported from India made with child labor)...

Mine was made in India. You got the cheap one Ric after they offshored it to Pakistan.

Yeah but they spelled Chevelle wrong on yours, just like my piece of crap Chevelle chairs that I had to throw away up there a couple of years ago.

Got any Grey Poupon ?

Hell yes bring them buns Ric. We can always through them on the grill and toast up any of the green stuff, we'll call them seasoned 'artisan buns'. I won' bring my cheap paper plates if Ric has designer ones, we'll dine in eloquence. Champagne anyone?
The grill will fit. No spare but who needs them?

Anybody have any of the short, fat 16.4 oz propane cylinders bring them. I thought I had more but I guess Henry used them up. Even the skinny ones for a propane torch. I probably have enough but don't want to run out, can't bring the 20lb tank in the Chevelle, unless I leave Henry or the beer home and the beer is coming.

Hank, I don't have any propane, but I can stop at the hardware and grab one if you think we'll need it. Loading junk up, see you in a while.

Are you guys bringing any extra chairs, or would it be best for us to bring our own? We're alittle tight for space with all the stuff Carol wants to bring.

I'm not bringing extra chairs Brian. I'm already crowded in the car. I have a small stool that I'm bringing as an extra.

Great time as always. Good group of people to hang out with, couple of nice cars to look at too. Actually a couple of thousand cars, can't even see all of them. Based on previous years I would say close to 3,000.

BTW, the hamburgers were perfect. I got tired of watching the hotdogs, I wanted to sit down and eat too. Next year Ric can do the honors of cooking. Don't know how it became my job just because I brought the grill. Any more bitchin and I won't bring it next year!

Tony, I lost your address, can you send it to me? I got one of your empty beer cans. I can send you a check or do you prefer cash?

Oh, Ric has your 'stakes' for the canopy.

Thanks guys and gals for letting Carol and I join your group even though we weren't able to have our car in the show. Awesome job on the hamburg's Hank!
Maybe when I get hungry for one in a day or two, you can grille one up and send it through the mail to me. I'll take one with cheese, lettuce, and tomato, with a pickle on the side. :D

FlintTony
09-08-2013, 05:56 PM
Hank, all you had to do was tell me to cook my own fkn hot-dogs and I would have. I left a pile of cans I thought. Maybe Kathy picked them all up. She's a clean freak.

Brian, that desert that Carol made was killer. Tell her thanks for me.

Ric, you can have those ju-jitsu stakes if you want em.

We had a good time again with you guys. Someone should have warned me about consuming too much alcohol though.

I'm thinking this was our last year for spending the whole week-end there.

Did you guys go look at that black 70 Chevelle that was rusted all to hell? The guy that bought it said he was told it was rust free. Looked like a flood car to me.

What a great time this weekend my dad and I made the trip with the cars with no problems. What a turnout I haven't seen that many people on one street since ohio state vs michigan 2004 in Columbus (of course OSU won!) I was surprised I only saw two other chevelles that weren't a ss so my malibu must be rare! Ha ha what beautiful cars I was like a kid in a candy store getting my list together for when I hit the lottery!

Ric, there is a card in the goodie bag from Turnone, they do steering gear if your interested. Also check the AGR boxes at Summit. Give me a call and we'll see what we can do with your sway bar issue.

For those that go to AutoValue there's a $10 off coupon in the there too and another inside the Autofest paper/magazine. AutoValue is the closest parts store to my house so I go there alot. Plus they have catalogs and older guys that are actually willing to look through them.

Damn, I threw away all my stuff from the goodies bags (I had 3 years worth of it in the Chevelle). Keep it in the Chevelle and maybe I can get it from you at Baker's.

Hey, I ate the hot dogs didn't I? Hamburgs were perfect.

There was Alcohol there? and I hope you change your mind about staying all weekend...It won't be the same without you and I look forward to it every year. Actually, I stayed till about 2:00 on Sunday and there were still a lot of cars there.

Brian, glad you and Carol could make it up, the couple times I walked past the Camaro uptown there was a lot of people looking at it...it was a hit.

72Green, you should have stopped by, we did have a 69 Malibu with us that was not a SS, it was Yellow with ghost flames....

Not much on the card, says they do steering gear, pumps, racks, etc. Website is www.turnone-steering.com (http://www.turnone-steering.com)

Ditto, we always have a great time there, wouldn't be the same without Tony and Kathy. I'll have to talk to Kathy about this situation. Maybe I'll have Lynda talk to her.

Brian, glad you and Carol could make it up, the couple times I walked past the Camaro uptown there was a lot of people looking at it...it was a hit.

Glad you were able to get into BI. It was good seeing both of you. Hope you can come to Back to the Bricks or Frankenmuth or both next year.

72Green, you should have stopped by, we did have a 69 Malibu with us that was not a SS, it was Yellow with ghost flames....

If you make it next year you have to stop by. You can join us if you'd like you're more than welcome but at least stop by and say hello. We're always next to the Bavarian Inn, inbetween the inn and the river. Just look for 2 black Chevelle canopies. Glad you enjoyed it, you'd like Back to the Bricks too if you can swing that trip up here. It's like the Friday night Big Block Party in Frankenmuth except it runs all day.
