Joe asked me to post these pics of his Chevelle.
I'll let him fill in all the details as to where he is lurking from (town or area), details of the driveline, when it will see the road, etc, etc and any other info that he would like to share.

nice 70 webfoot love the color haha yup does look familar

Looks like when Joe lines up a few more things he'll be the terror of Central Washington

Whereabouts in central WA?

I'm betting He's from the 'Burg.

hey man i live in small town called soap lake. Ever heard of it its close to moses lake

I got a ex-communicated Uncle that live's in Soap Lake.:D

I'm from the Eastside, know it pretty well.

That's the lake with "ring around the lake" :D

I used to go through there often on my way to Sun Lakes.:yes:

I have family in Wilson Creek(population around 500), I've also been to Soap Lake in the late 90s. I always wonder how the economy works over there:confused:

mike theres construction work in the area farm work, processing plants, factory type work, thats about it haha i am a bartender so theres work for me anywhere joe

Never heard of Soap Lake but know where moses lake is. I am only a half hour south of tri-cities.

The people just down and across from my great aunt and uncle in Wilson Creek own or used to own a '70 GTO with hand shift and throttle controls....apparently their son owns(ed) it and he was in an accident and paralyzed waist down. Not sure if it's still there, it's been awhile since I've been over there but I'd be interested if it's still sitting there.

baby get new shoes,lol the wheels and tires come in on fedex monday,im getting really excited now,I also ordered headliner and all the stuff associated stuff for that, time to get this thing together,hope to get some more pics posted next week this is just an update joe wheels are foose in 18s and tires are les schwab cant rember name of them but ill let u guys know

Take a look at the pics in my signature.....Foose Nitrous II 18s:yes::thumbsup:

Good lookin car!

i take a dip in the healing waters on the way home after staying in cabin 60 and cliff jumping into deep lake. going again the weekend after labor day.

Hey Propest have you ever heard of the soap lake bussinesmens club, any way i am the manager there,Its a small private club been there since the 60s pretty neat place to check out on the way threw

Hey those are the same wheels that i got lol

I got mine from Driverz Inc., where did you get yours from? They had the best price I could find. Bought 5 wheels, 1 tire from them(already had the other 4 used but over 90% tread left).

got mine from a ebay store there 18x8.5 fronts and 18x10 rears paid 1300.00 for all 4 wheels no tires i thought that was a good deal and there not seconds there nice. how much you pay?

I went 18 x 8.5 all around, can't fit the 18 x 10s on a '67 without mods....that and I like to be able to rotate tires, although it'd only be front and rear since the BF Goodies are directional.

I paid $1,500 for all 5 wheels + 1 tire($180 tire). I looked at the eBay deals, but couldn't find a non-staggered deal, so I just called them directly, plus I wanted the tire. Worked out well for me, plus was a good deal. The only thing that cost me more than I thought was doing mount and balance at Les Schwab.... was a small fortune due to not buying the wheels/tires from them.

yea sounds like about same amout then cause fronts were 600 for 2.I also am having tires mounted and balanced at schwab, but im buying schwab tires, proxes T1-R

definetly love the color, definetly hate the wheels.

nope, havent heard of the biz mens club. been to big johns in soap lake & coulee city a million times for supplies and such. we went to a car show in soap lake about 15 years ago, i think it was called the pig run? we dont go to sun lakes in july/august any more, too hot! we like sept. rates drop and the hoodlums are all back in school. you must get an occasinal rattler in soap Lk. i'm guessing...

definetly love the color, definetly hate the wheels.
