First Car Show! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**SactoJim** · 04-29-2008, 04:36 AM

Thought I would post a few pics of a local car show that had maybe a 130 cars or so. First time in a looooong time I've had anything in a show. Still have some odds and ends to finish up on it and when done, I'm gonna do a bunch of pics and post.

The 66 Chevelle is a friend of mines and is completely bad ass! Alcohol injected blown small block that he started a number of times during the show and it was just like fly paper.......everyone would stop what they were doing or looking at and rush over to check out what sounded like a top fuel car!

Anyway.....nice weather, great people and a good ole time.....can't wait to do some more.

Very nice truck and is it just me or is the chevelle not running a radiator? Alcohol runs alot cooler but can it actually maintain a decent temp? just curiouse. nice job on the pics. and really like your wheels

Nope......bummer...I was hoping. This was a local car club event (I'm not a member) and there were like 20 classes of vehicles and mine would've fit in 5 or 6, so I picked the most obvious "best mod truck". I lost to a mid 30's ford truck.....should've put mine in the same class as the green chev....."best 70's)

Thanks.......Kinda hard to see in the pics, but he has 2 small radiators placed on each fender that does the job. Had to do that because he put his fuel pump and distributor drives on the front of the motor. He runs 2 - 4 cylinder mags to fire the thing.......just plain cool.

sweet truck, i guess the chevelle isnt to bad either. anybody notice the mirrors on the green truck?

Riveted1 · 04-29-2008, 08:53 PM

WTH is that light blue convertible?? That thing is gnarly!

And as always I love your truck!

The Chevelle is cool too. Looking at that engine compartment just has me scratching my head. Lots of imagination and ingenuity went into that thing!

72BlckButy · 04-29-2008, 09:14 PM

Beautiful truck, and even though you didn't place, it's still fun to get out there.
