I would like to get a roll call of members in the central valley, bay area, northern california, central coast area. Basically if you are from say from Santa Rosa south to Monterey, east to Yosemite and north to Arnold...
I would like to possibly help set up a cruise-in/even/show for this next spring for our group.

Myself & Mad Hooker live in Sunnyvale- close to San Jose.
:D

American canyon. just outside Napa.

yeah we're down just post up when and where!

Just joined. Should have the Granpa Malibu runnin by then. Live in East Bay.

San Ramon here

Morgan Hill here.

I'm down in Sanger, which is near Fresno. Keep us informed!

San Francisco here. I hope my car is out of the body shop by then. It is supposed to be finished by Feb.

George Lucas's home town... Modesto.

Tracy

livermore,ca

Sacramento. Let me know when

Let me know, I'm in if it's not in the body shop...........64elkynss

Madera,about 35 minutes south of Atwater.

Alamo Here. Just let me know

Santa Cruz, where the hippies roam...

I thought that was Sebastopol? hehehe

I'm in Napa.
And in terms of stanky hippies, Santa Cruz beats out everywhere but Berkeley... I used to be a Bannana Slug, so I have too much first hand experience.

SF peninsula here

Does anyone know if there is a nor cal chevell club? If not should we start one; plan a couple of cruise-ins and maybe some track/dyno testing as a group, maybe some charity cruises, show up to some car shows etc?

Lets do it. A chevelle rally through the wine country would be a blast...

I would love too, my car should be available in spring after paint. My inlaws are from Sebastopol so it would be a great time to kill two birds with one stone.

If any of you guys are interested in beer, I'm going to be brewing in the next few weeks here in SCruz.

Craig - you reading? :) I've got a few kegs of brew left, including a bit of your favorite...

Turlock here , are you guys doing anything for the swap meet this year? ive seen posts about it in the past

Blue,

I live in Atwater and have stuff there every year. Ill be there this year. How long you lived in Turlock?

what is the info for turlock, i overheard some guys at the good-guys in pleasonton talking about turlock and stockton coming up...

Turlock (that we're talking about) is a swap meet. The one in Jan is Very very Big.

http://www.turlockswapmeet.com/

"The TURLOCK SWAP MEET always takes place during the last full weekend in January. In 2007, the Swap Meet will take place January 27-28, 2007. The hours of operation are Saturday, 7 AM to 5 PM and Sunday, 7 AM to 3 PM. Admission is $5.00 at the gate, children 12 and under are free when accompanied by an adult. "

San Jose

I'm always down for track days... with turns. :D

Actually, some high-speed mountain runs would be fun... Hwy 49, Ice House, Markleeville, Foresthill, Lake Alpine, etc. Also some great roads over by Mount Diablo, and can't forget Skyline over in the bay area.

A run up to Mount Hamilton would be pretty cool too.

I am from Novato, California. There is a Nor Cal Chevelle Club I believe that is also their name. I saw them at Pleasanton Good Guys.

I love this quote, "And in terms of stanky hippies, Santa Cruz beats out everywhere but Berkeley"

http://nor-cal.chevelles.net/

A run up to Mount Hamilton would be pretty cool too.

That would be a great drive in a nicely handling car, as long as it was an open road in front of you... Hate to get stuck behind some slow moving vehicle on that one...

There are a few Chevelle clubs around. A group of us here on TC get together infrequently for BBQs, beer drinking, Test-n-tunes, swap meets, etc and even some wrenching... This forum is usually where you will hear about these events...

. Hate to get stuck behind some slow moving vehicle on that one...

I make very quick work of passing slower vehicles... even if that "slower" vehicle is moving at 100. :p

Honestly, it sucks getting stuck behind a slower vehicle on any road... especially the fun ones! Doubly annoying if there are turnouts they refuse to use. Last time I was up on Skyline in the Subaru I had 2 guys on bikes wave me by because they were holding me up in the turns. :waving:

A group of us here on TC get together infrequently for BBQs, beer drinking, Test-n-tunes, swap meets, etc and even some wrenching...

Lets not forget the calf-off and the "nervous sheep" contests. :p

torndown64 , ive been in turlock all my 32 years! Have you been teaching in los banos long? I sold my first malibu to a guy in los banos in about 94' . let me know if you see any blue 67's running around down there

A run up to Mount Hamilton would be pretty cool too.

I've been up to the Mt. Hamilton Observatory from the San Jose side. It was a blast, but the road was a bit rough. I remember seeing the sign at the top saying it was a windy road for 52 or some miles to Patterson. All I could think was "SWEET!" On the descent back to San Jose I made a motorcycle rider look like a pansy (he ended waving me by). LMAO. I really need a quick-ratio box as I have to turn the steering wheel too much with the stock steering box :o .

Blu,

What year did you graduate from Turlock. Im 31 and graduated from Ceres High. I know a lot of people that graduated from Turlock, some I don't care for others I know by name, others I know well. Were you in any sports? I played football, and soccer and ran track. I was in 4-H also. Also if you are into current events or read the news paper, my brother was Captain Raymond D. Hill (turlock, california- lived off of east and berkley) with the California National Guard. He was KIA on Oct 29 of last year.

Does anyone know if there is a nor cal chevell club? If not should we start one; plan a couple of cruise-ins and maybe some track/dyno testing as a group, maybe some charity cruises, show up to some car shows etc?

Several folks in my Camaro club are also in Norcal Chevellecaminos. We do some events with them from time to time. Good bunch of folks. Check em out at http://nor-cal.chevelles.net/.

Rod , i graduated in 92 from THS , i didnt play any sports but i knew about every good party in a 15 mile radius so i pretty much hung out w/people from all different circles. Sorry to hear about your brother , i do remember reading about that

Ill be at the Jan swap I believe our lot is I42. It is always in the same spot. WE will be against the fence on the west side of the north lot, right in the corner near the TID/PG&E yard right next to the Port-o-potties. We should meet, I would love to see your ride.

Anyone seen or heard from Calves (Ron) or Thor (Craig)?

What is up Jeff. When can we sample some beer. I'm still in Santa Cruz.

Just about anytime, BigRon, I've got a little raspberry hefe left, as well as some really nice citrusy belgian wit. I'm going to be brewing a big IPA soon, but that will take some time before it's ready...

C'mon over sometime, we'll shoot the breeze and sample some of the brews. I tried to email ya but your email address here on TC seems like it's no longer valid. Shoot me an email or PM and we'll get together sometime...

Whatsup Jeff I will give you a call tonight and see whatsup.
Ron:beers:

Ron, update me with your email address...

I doubt Ill have the El on the road before next spring, but if you guys have something come up in the near future Id be interested...Have any room for a Vette tagging along?

Ron, update me with your email address...

Manteca here. Sounds like fun.

I think it would be great to put together a ralley/cruise in sometime in the late spring early summer somewhere in the north central valley. It would be great if we could overwhelm some car show with Loads of Chevelles to have a big showing. I will try to get some possibilities rounded up and put them out there for some decision making. I'll definately keep you guys/gals updated on the info.

Hey Guy's
MY first post (Yay). I'm in SF. Should have the interior back in over Christmas just in time for the rain. Then I have leaking trans to work over.
Spring sounds good.

Sounds kewl, the Elk will be ready by springtime.

Modesto

Berkeley.....

I'm in!

Well I have good news.... My chevelle is going into the paint shop on Friday. They said 4-6 months and more like the shorter end of the time frame. I can't wait. Ive been doing lots of "finish" work to my car while it has been sitting. Got the wiring harness all done (made my own with custom 18 fuse box from a f$%d Taurus, it flips down from under the dash). I only have one problem with the harness. My wipers done have power yet so I have to figure that one out. Im going to be running the chassis on a dyno this sunday to see what my basic setup has. Im currently running:

.060 4-bolt 350
.010/.010 under crank
flat top TRW pistons
2.02 72 CC cast iron heads
Holley Dual Plane manifold

Probably a little too far for us guys in Redding - but you should remember Kool April Nites (4/18 - 4/22)

im in san jose,, maybe another month till she's road worthy.. trying to make the good guy's show in march for the first big outing :beers:

Another one in Tracy

I`m in the Sacramento area. I don`t have a car anymore though.

I'd prefer a 63-67, but just a bit out of my price range...:sad:

That blue vert is bad ass. My favorite color combo. If we are able to put together a Chevelle cruise in I hope to see that car. I have a bolero red hard top 67 SS. Nice ride!

thats a pretty nice vette. I`m not too big on them myself but I`ve messed with them a little bit. if you pick it up maybe i can just ride with you,lol.

Let's get something planned for April weather should be nice.

That would be fun mid May would be best for me, I wont have my Chevelle (Its in for paint) but My wife and I could roll in with her 66 Valiant Conv. What kind of thing would everyone like to do? Saturday evening cruise in to a park (barbecue potluck) or a 50's Diner? Maybe somewhere between Modesto and Stockton? Lets hear some suggestions.

There is a little burger joint in Tracy called Wally's. When the weather gets nice they have a old school cruise in for all types of 50's/muscle cars on Wednesday evenings. Their parking could easily be overwhelmed by 25 or more cars though. Maybe that's a starting or ending point for something we could put together. I'm down for any type car enthusiasts get together.

I should have attached your message. I'm talking about that Marina blue convertible Chevelle. That car is sweet. For what it's worth, IMO a lot nicer than the vette.

Thanks... Too bad I sold that car a few weeks ago...

The Vette is "out"... Nice driver, but just didn't "excite" me... Now I am looking at a few '70/'71 Chevelles...

There's going to be a cruise-in at the fosters freeze in Napa on monday March 12th, from 6-9. I'm going to try to get out of work and make it down there. If not for the cars, then for the free ice cream... Address is 1195 west Imola.

I really miss living in Napa. I think it was Tuesday nights at Big D`s on the trail. tons of cars and alot of fun just haning out with everyone.

temps in the 80's......stay'n light till after 7 , cruisn weather is here !

I am in Martinez. I will be at the good guys show as well with the elco. There is a cool car show thing in downtown martinez on Friday afternoons. I think it starts in May. There is also one at the Baja Fresh restaurant in the Sun Valley mall. I think it also starts later in spring. I would definitely like to get together with other members. Anybody know of a good tranny builder in this area? I need my TH400 redone with a performance rebuild to handle the almost 600hp the motor has now...

Just to let everyone know... there is a car show on May 19th in Los Banos, At Pacheco Park located at Pacheco Blvd (hwy 152) and 7th St. There is a $500 best of show award, and goodies to the first 100 cars to singn up. I think it would be cool if we got as many of us as possible to sign up for it and come in as one big group. However my car is still about 4 months off but I "should" have my wife's motor back in her 66 Valiant Conv. There will be Food, Raffle, Games and Awards. It is being sponsored by Rod Runners.

There are 8 classes: Stock, Truck, Custom, Daily driver, Semi Custom, Street Rod, Muscle Car, and Under construction. The Cost is $15 by May 10 and $20 same day. Contact information is 209-675-5485, 209-704-2760. Thay also ask about Club information so I guess we can all go as Team Chevelle unless we want to come up with a different name.

:D Salida here next to Modesto.

Hey, maybe a Drive-In night in Ceres(Modesto) or San Jose would be kinda kewl too.

THIS sounds like a nightmare...a carshow @ a Hometown Buffet.
Kids, food, cars...

http://www.modestothrottlers.com/mtfr-052807a.htm

Anyone going to any of the graffiti shows in modesto this weekend? im going to be out at the fruit yard w/my car on sat. and am going to the mjc show on sun. just to look around. If anyones comes out sat. look for a marina blue 66 and stop by for a beer ! admission is free for spectators all day at the fruit yard.

Brian

Brian,
I may have time to stop by on Sunday at MJC. What times are you going to be there? I would love to come out and chat with some of y'all.

I plan to go to a few of the events. Went to the Tradeway show on Tues and 5 min carwash show on Weds. Skiped the one tonight at the Roadhouse, but Friday night is a parade in downtown Modesto. Then MJC on the weekend.
Maybe the Fruityard. This is the first year it's been free admit. They usually have high dollar entertainment that they need to cover for.

Tradeway is probably the only one that shouldn't be missed. Private property burnouts. Made me feel 34 years younger...

Dan,

Will you be exibiting a car at MJC? will you be there on sunday, maybe we could get a few guys together for a while to hang out. I won't have a car but would be cool to come visit you guys.

Ron and Brian,
My Elky isn't show worthy. It's not bad from afar for a primer'ed car, but the interior is about ready for a complete overhaul. Then a frame off stripping of several layers of paint. It do make a good amount of smoke though... :)

I'll be the one trying to negotiate the grounds in a wheelchair. I usually do crutches, but they tend to hurt after a while.

I'll probably go Sat later in the morning and maybe Sunday. I need to take a friend to the airport in the early am. We can exchange Cell numbers if you want to meet up somewhere.

I wont be able to be anywhere on saturday as I have football coaching at Pitman High in the morning till late afternoon, then I have to book it back to Atwater to play football (yep full contact semi pro kicker I am) but Sunday the wife will be out of town and it will be my buddies 22nd Ill see if he wants to come up with me for a while. Ill contact him tomorrow and see what time he has. but yeah we could exchange numbers tomorrow if you want or now or whenever.

this saturday and sunday im hitting up two shows. Bow-tie bash at de anza college on sat. june 9th and on sun. june 10th i will be at san jose city car show. if anyone is around from TC come say hi to me ill be with my black 71, cant miss it.

yeah I am in. I live in livermore, hopefully the car will be running.

I'm going to the IHBA boat drags at Berenda Reservoir in Chowchilla Saturday. It's going to be great!

yeah I am in. I live in livermore, hopefully the car will be running.

come see me and let me know you're from TC. I'm the young guy with the black 71 ss... no stripes. I've been wanting to pay for a membership on this site, but i was wondering does it erase your current account and you have to start all over?

weekend is over and the two shows i went to were very nice. too bad i didnt see anyone from TC! booo

I just ran out of time, I wasnt able to get out of Atwater.

We made to MJC on Saturday. Rushed thru without seeing everything.

Lots of people considering there was the other show 10 miles away.

Maybe next time.

im not sure what the next show ill be going to... i might be taking my engine out pretty soon, but i might wait until the weather turns sour in the winter. I was an idiot and let my car sit all winter with out getting the motor out to fix the leak. We'll see tomorrow when i call the guy who machined my engine.

:D I missed the MJC show due to a family function I was hosting. :hurray:BBQ with young ladies playing volleyball in the pool.
I hear that this years Modesto Blues festival will include a car show to coincide with the grafitti summer functions here in MoTown. The date for the festival is June 23rd. I am trying to get the wifie on board with Blues festival/car show. We both like the blues and if the Chevelle is inside the show I can stow a few cold adult beverages in the trunk!

Hey Rich! This is Jenn (Rob aka mad hooker's) girlfriend. You met us at the Good Guys show. I think we're going to try to go to the Blues Festival, so we should meet up!
Maybe we could PM eachother our cell phone numbers so we can find eachother. :D

yeah rich we should all go together, that would be epic!

:cool: Sounds like a plan. I still have to work on the wife. :(I have to make sure my fence (110ft) gets put up before any festivities occur. Jen/Rob I'll PM you my cell #.

:o Modesto Blues festival is a bust! A local car club will be providing 16 cars for the show which won't even be inside the grounds. No open entries and the cars will be parked on the street due to the last event which damaged the lawn! :confused: PT Cruisers! I'll be riding the Triumph up to Jackson in the AM, and hitting the A&W with the Chevelle in Modesto in the PM!

There is going to be a 4th of July car showand parade in Turlock. I will be there trailering my Late brother's (KIA Baghdad Iraq 10/29/05) 65 Mustang in the parade, and my wife will be driving her 66 Valiant Conv. The reason I will be trailering the 'stang is that is in need of being restored. He had about 70% of the restoration parts ready to go when he got home from Iraq but didn't make it. The Modesto Bee ran an article http://www.modbee.com/columnists/jardine/story/13632118p-14227992c.html
looking for people in the community to help out in any way. The gentelman that is in charge of the parade and show wants to promote the 'stang and solicit donations and help. Anyway, I will be there and if anyone wants to join the show, the website is www.turlock4thofjuly.com you can go there to register.

So what is the next event?? I would love to get the elky out... I'm in Sunnyvale, any locals wanna meet up somewhere?

Not sure where something is going to be... but I got good/bad news about my 64 'Velle. Sounds like mid August when i get it back from paint. So I wont be going to any cruises this summer/fall. I coach football and we start in early August and go till Oct. But my Wife's 66 Valiant Convertable is able to go.

Just an update... There is a truck/car show at the Saddle Rack in Fremont this Sunday. If you register today, it is $20, after today $40. I don't know if you can register same day or not. the link to register is here:
http://957thewolf.com/pages/672139.php
I just registered. You pay in cash at the show. They put your info on a list at the entry gate.

Ill be there with my '64. I hope others can be there as well.
