I'm 16 and drive a 67 Malibu <beat-up, ripped seats(seat springs hurt by the way),primered trunk, 5 year old Earl Shrieber $99 paint job, looks like a Car Craft feature car(love Car Craft)> and slowly being restored when I get the $. I got a new front suspension kit and disc brakes at least. The people talking about their high schools in the Chevelle Owners-Dying Breed? post sure got it made. Only my '67, 2 Mustangs, and a 69 Elky remain now since the Seniors graduated. Every other car is either a rice burner or a new and lowered truck. I got so ticked off that I am starting a club just for Generation X-ers who drive classic cars. I'll soon have the website up and running http://genxrodsandcustoms.8m.com
and pics and other stuff uploaded. And since I didn't want to have to pay money to the state and I'm too broke to pay for a membership, I decided to make it free to join. However you must be a part of Generation X. Team Chevelle and Classic Cars Forever! Woohoo!

Anyhelp you need with the website let me know, ive done some web work in the past and am pretty adept at Photoshop.

Im 16 too.. 71' 454 SS =)

Good idea! I'm 21 and there's no one my age doing what I've been doing. While everyone else is looking for the best and loudest stereo for their car, I'm still trying to find an original 8-track player for mine. I understand I may not "qualify" for your club, but its a great idea. I've got a 72 Chevelle and I just bought a 71 SS that need a ton of work, so I'm really getting into this car-thing heavy. I grew up restoring and building classic cars (thanks Dad!). I figured I'd wait till after college to get one, but I couldn't. I bought my 72 just after my Junior year and I just bought the 71 about a month and a half ago. I graduated in December with a Bachelor's degree in Biology, but I know a lot more about Chevelles than I do about Biology now! I love it. Its good to see America's youth doing something besides going to jail.

BTW, nice homepage! You should put your car on there, no matter what shape its in. Who's Woody Wagon is that? Very nice!! http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif

Thanks for the replies guys. And 72Malibu you do qualify for the club Generation X is anyone age 15-35 as of now. And 454 I could use some help if you want to. E-mail me and we'll work something out. 72Malibu, I don't know who's Woody that is. Some guy sent me the pic a long time ago because he wanted to sell it. Do you like the pic at the bottom of the page? My friend made it. And I'm getting pics of my 67 as soon as my friend scans 'em. Thanks again.

Sorry! GenX is 16-38 as of now. Born 1961-1983.

SoCAlRat, WOW I'm in. I was just beginning to feel old and I just made the tail end of X , born in 61. I'm relieved to hear you guys are still into Detroit Iron. If I had $$$ to burn I'd ship the 396 coming out of my 67 to the west coast so you could eat a paddy full of rice burners for lunch! I'll help any way I can. Keep the fire burnin' man.

Hey Jason-
I'll give you hand with any of the club stuff heck I could get pics of my friends muscle cars we could put them up and say hey,"All Kid's don't drive rice" maybe we can inspire some youngin's to drive real American Steel!
BTW-I'm 17 and I do drive an import! http://www.chevelles.com/forum/redface.gif
not for long though...I hope! http://www.chevelles.com/forum/wink.gif
ya see, I sold my bu' then my mom sold the 67' Camaro and now there's no Formal wear(bowtie) in our driveway OH Well!

Hey I'm 18 and the only kid in my high school who actually owns my own Chevelle. Others kids drive their dad's or grandma's and pretend that it is really theirs. Count me in, man.

Thanks guys for the support. We need to spread the word! 454 is going to help me build the site and I got Gene Chas backing me up(You made it bud right on the deadline) and I saw his clean 67(makes me want to cry Steve that he was thinking of selling it! Good choice Gene!). And Gene, future plans on my 67 call for a 350 or 383 Stroker so hold on to that 396 cause I can smoke riceburners even with my 283! And Steve, I've been checking ads everyday for you buddy! We're gonna get you a 65! (BTW The mag came today, the cash is in the mail) And the BEST news about the club is its FREE cause we all know that the cash goes into the car not into a club unless people want to donate http://www.chevelles.com/forum/wink.gif which I would appreciate because as soon as we start getting members we're gonna get stickers for your cars. Thanks for the support again. If you want to help with the website or anything e-mail me at finsandflames@yahoo.com I welcome all pics! Gene can I put your 67 on there? And remember, Open those headers, dump the clutch, and let GenX show you how it's done!

Just a side note. I passionately hate it when kids tell me that I should put a system in my '69. Screw that, AM is the way to go. Most people can't believe that I actually spent money to get my center speaker working.

Beautiful Malibu4door! Just beautiful! Get that AM crankin'! My radio doesn't even work! I just listen to the car(before I took the engine out). Detroit Iron forever!

All i got in mine is the stock am .. thinking about changing it but ... well it hurts i dont want to take it out =)

-Chris

Chris,
I'll tell you this. I have a Pioneer CD player in mine now. Future plans are to install an AM and hide CD player in a repro tissue dispenser! Just a thought!

Hey Jason-
Thanks for the words man! Hope you enjoy that Chevelles mag! Hey, how close are you to riverside? Check at Auto Trader Online I was cruising through, there's a 66 kickin' it there that sounds pretty tight!(Plus it's in the range of having 8300 to fix it up!) But(there's always that) I don't want to go an hour and a half for a piece o' crap that I turn around from when I lay my eyes on it.
Anyway Thanks.
Hey also, I got some pretty dope pics of a 69 yesterday. Crusing to the liquor store this 69 350 Malibu caught my eye so I had my friend snap some pics, it's sad, it's rotting away! And the $%&**& Grandma won't sell it, believe me I tried! It's pretty funny all the bird **** on the drivers side quarter panel! http://www.chevelles.com/forum/wink.gif I'll get it developed!

Malibu4door,
We got SoCal(SoCalRat),New York(Gene Chas),Canada(454), & you(North Dakota). We're pretty much covering N.America as of now.

Steve,
I understand on the travel issues. I'll be checking for you.

SoCal, my pic is yours, but what "gen" is my 2 yr old behind the wheel!
Hey malibu4door, I've got a wicked arse sound system planned for my '67 it's got three Holley 80211's, 11:1, that beautiful symphony of 16 solid lifters, 2" primary tubes.

Hey SoCalRat. Sounds like a good idea, i'm in.

Saskatchewan, Canada. Now you have the Canadian Praries too http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif

1971 Malibu, no engine :O
Sold the 350 out of it for 2G's, now i'm about 3 weeks away from starting up my monster 454, oh ya. That's gonna be sweet. I'm 19 btw. You guys want to know devotion to Chevelles, of the 4 years of working i've done, I spent about 90-95% of everything I made over those 4 years on my Chevelle. And if I could do it again, I wouldn't change a thing, well, maybe I wouldn't back the car off the ramps with the jack under it again http://www.chevelles.com/forum/wink.gif. Anyway, I'll help if you need it. You can check out my page at member.xoom.com/Gandalf80/Chris'sPage.html (http://member.xoom.com/Gandalf80/Chris'sPage.html)

btw, old restored cars are plentiful in the auto trader up here so there isn't a shortage yet!

Your son is classified as part of the Millinium Generation aka Millinium Babies. And that sounds like you'll have a symphony under the hood! Gandolf80, welcome, eh, now we have 2 Canadian members(454 also). And thanks for the offer to help, I may hold you to your contribution. Everyone, we need pics of your rides too! Thanks for all the support. Also speaking of support, everyone that helped support my car, including some of you guys that gave me info, I am putting your names on my springs since it was you that supported my car. Just a friendly gesture! Thanks once again. A whole 8 members & more to go! Woohoo! Also do you guys want some kind of monthly magazine to your e-mail? How 'bout we post events that are going on by your town and give you guys info on how we're growing and what we plan to do in the future. Thanks again.

Me? naw dude =) USoA here.. MA to be more precise...

Count me in too man!! I'm 16 and I'm the only one with a muscle car in the whole school!!!!! We started a so called "muscle car parking area" in the lot, but I'm the only one with the muscle car. The only two other cars are a 99 camaro, and a 98 mustang!! Those don't count. One day i parked in another spot, and they came up to me and said "Hey man, you didnt park in the muscle section!!" So i explained to them "hey, listen, wherever i park is the muscle section". I hate those import pieces of crap. If you wanna know more about what I said check it out on the topic "chevelle owners-a dying breed"

Hey 72Elky, your story reminds me of the grocery store I work at. It began with me and a friend with a (sorry) '72 Gran Torino. We'd park next to the entrances and "guard" the lot. When a new kid was hired and parked in my spot, he was notified early on and now we are friends. Over the past two years my spot has remained the same, but my friend quit. Now another friend with a '69 Skylark holds the duty.

I hate to admit it, but that '72 was a pretty nice ride and it could take the Skylark and my Chevelle, so I have to respect it.

Gotta coint me in too for California. I'm 18. Steve, that 65 SoCal refered too up here in Hayward looks pretty nice. There is a pic ad i've seen of it, also, i had no idea your mom sold the camaro, whats up with that?

Anyway, great idea for the club! And nice homepage.

Hey, add me to the club! I'm 16 unfortunately I don't have a ride right right now, but I'm lookin for a 69 to be slowly (very slowly) restored as I get money. I wouldn't think of givin my money for some rice-car piece. I'm from Northern Ontario so now you guys can have some more Canadian members.

Thanks for all the support guys. Tommorow I'll post another ad titled "I Apologize" You'll find out more tommorow in the afternoon what I'm apologizing for. Thanks again and Jon that 66 almost looks too good to be in the site, but I'll let you pass http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif See ya guys!

I guess I'm in too. Count Mi. represented. Like Gene Chas I was born in 61 but I have a son born in 81 so we both qualify!( and he thinks I'm an old fart! I'll have to show him this.) I've got a 66 SS in the restoring stage, It's still on the rotator. Maybe if work slows down it will be more than a dream. Good luck on the club. I started one at work for employees and we have between 50 and 60 members. You can never have too many friends to BS about cars with.

Count two of us in Texas in. I live South of Houston. Sounds like a great idea.

BTW Wes C., 31 isn't TOO old, is it? I hope not.

I might qualify, since I did not drive an Oriental import when I was in high school. I am the owner of a 1975 Nova 2-door, but I should not be excluded because the car is a Disco-Era Classic.

I do support affirmative action, and post-1972 should count.

H5O,
I spoke with Al via e-mail and we both opened our eyes as to this post. I was going to post this in a post called "I Apologize", but Al told me not to. But let me first off publicly apologive to anyone who I may have offended. I started this club because while I was at a car show a man in this hobby that I looked up to came over to my friend and I and asked, "Hey X-ers, where are your riceburners?" as some kind of challenge even though I am very much in classic cars. I hate being stereotyped and left out, but it happens all the time. Just as because I live in SoCal I am "supposed" to be a surfer, which I do surf, but not because of where I live, but because I enjoy it. I am also sorry for singling out a group of people and using GenX as my target for this post, but I only started the club because instead of beating the narrow-minded man with a brick like some of us here would do http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif I decided to make light out of it and start a club for a generation that is judged so much, MY generation. So, what I am trying to say by all of this is you're welcome to join the club. Heck, if someone has a 73 Laguna, a 74 Gremlin, or a 87 Buick GN they should not be singled out so welcome abord.

DG,
If you read up above I hope you see why I named it GenX because I took it in light from some man.

And finally to Al and all the others who make this site possible,
I give you a well deserved THANK YOU! And to Al, you taught me a great lesson, for every man who is narrow-minded and judges people, there is always someone like you and Skip to back us up and understand where we are coming from.

And finally to Skip, who was and still is the epitome of goodness and giving, I thank you for all the help you gave me and others in this site and acknowledging us.I can only follow in your footsteps & pray to be as good as a man as you. Hope you're crusin' up there in heaven! Colossians 3:15-17
Thank you all,
Jason

PS On a less serious note, please send me pics of your cars so we can post them on the site. Thanks once again.

[This message has been edited by SoCalRat (edited 07-20-99).]

Also I've wrote down all of your e-mail addresses so be prepared to hear from us in the next few weeks. Thanks again.

You know, that "system" thing really bugs the crap out of me too. My younger brother's friends come over and say stuff like, "D***! You could put three eighteens in that trunk!" Uh, yeah, and you could leave. Now.

Seriously, I'm bummed that no younger kids are into rods and machines (seems like). When I was in HS there was a '67 Chevelle, '70 442, '67 SS396 Impala, '67 Camaro, '69 Firebird, '73 Laguna, and '65 GTO at various times. Now everybody buys a stereo. What the hell?

You are officialy out of the club http://www.chevelles.com/forum/frown.gif Just joking! And yes if you're a classic car nut, but do not have a car you're still invited to join.

TH,
I know what you're talking about man. My neighbors kids are amazed at the size of my 67's trunk. They like to see how many people they can fit in there so far got 8 little kids(ages 4-9)in there http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif At least they are getting interested in what I do and classic cars. My 8 year old brother is hooked on the 69 Dodge Super Bees. He loves the emblem. The neighbors kid now wants a 67 Corvette instead of a Lamborghini Diablo at least.

Guys,
We need to spread the word! If you've got friends with classics, no matter what make, model, etc. & they're part of GenX invite 'em to join and start crusin' to your local hotspot.

The SoCal guys,
On Sept. 16-19 there is going to be the annual Route 66 Rendezvous route-66.org (http://route-66.org) I am planning on going on the 19th(Saturday) since it will be the BIG day(more cars on that day, open headers, Crusin' Hall of Fame, etc). How many of you would like to go? Registration is $45 as of now or $50 at the entrance. Ouch! http://www.chevelles.com/forum/frown.gif . If I ever get the engine back in my car and if my car gets painted, I'll register it, but otherwise I'll just be browsing(also known as drooling) around looking at cars.

Also, we need a logo, we got some ideas we just need to see 'em and hear your input. Also tonight we're putting on the first pics & adding more info. genxrodsandcustoms.8m.com (http://genxrodsandcustoms.8m.com)

[This message has been edited by SoCalRat (edited 07-20-99).]

17 more posts and we break Chevelle Owners-Dying Breed? and if we get 72 more we can top the Threats to us by the Law post! Come on keep it going! I got big dreams in my head. BTW jmw congrats on having the biggest post that I've ever seen on this site.

hey Jason-
Got the pics but I can't get the 'effin'(thanks Gene) things to shrink down properly(say the size of the orig. photo) they turned out very well. My friend seems to be a very good photographer. These pics she took are cllleeeeaaannn!(Almost makes the car look like a trailor queen w/RUST LOL!!!)

Steve,
Don't worry just send me the pics. I can shrink them. I know normal pictures seem like giants when you upload them.

81ElCamino,
If you read above you will notice I said I could care less what year it was, but no new Mustangs or that kind of stuff please. What do you say guys, should we let him in? He's a year off, well maybe not depending on what month he was born? Can we let him in? Group decision. And he did give us a great compliment.

Jon66,
nice logo man! Here was my idea. Feel free to shoot me down! An black Iron Cross turned so it looks like an X with GenX Rods & Customs written in the cross in red. Or GEN written above the Iron Cross and Rods & Customs below. I wish I could draw it up on Paint, but my program sucks.

We have pictures! http://genxrodsandcustoms.8m.com Woohoo!

I'm 17, and I'm from from BC Canada. This club sounds great! I have a 1967 Pontiac Beaumont. It's a Canadian only car, similar to a Chevelle. Is that allowed in the club?
If you want to see pictures of the car, check out the May 1999 issue of CAR CRAFT. There's a couple of shots of my car in the Readers Rides, right near the front of the mag.

Hey So CAl:
I am south of you a few miles and to the east of San Diego in Elcajon 18 miles east of San Diego on HWY 8 (closer to the dunes). Check out the pics on my site http://sites.netscape.net/1969ss/homepage I will have more soon but feel free to cut and past if you want to. The pics I have right now are not that great but I will be bringing the digital camera home from work so I can upload some resent progress shots. You should come down to Lamesa on a thursday night to check out the car show and cruise they have. It is every thursday and starts around 4:30. Lots of old Detriot iron and hot rods.

I think I'd be about the only member from North Vernon, IN. And I even qualify (22 in a couple days). I've got a 70 Malibu convertible with a 307/350 th and single exhaust. Hopefully I can change all that before long. I've also got a 70 Malibu coupe with a 350 (in pieces) a th 350 and dual exhaust. The convertible is on jackstands and the coupe is sans engine, but they're mine. I don't have a camera or a scanner. Maybe I'll get one of those disposeable cheapos and send you the pictures to put up, if you like.

Hey SoCalRat!

Thanx for putting my 72 on your page (although it still needs a little work)! I sent the pics from Fields BMW (that's where I work), but my name is Jeremy Bennett, representing Florida. If there's anyway the pic can be shrunk down, please tell me how and I'll do it to make the page a bit more organized. Also, if you want the story behind my car, go to the Bench Racing section and look under Dwayne Martain's post "Anyone have any recent found in the barn true stories." Good luck and keep us informed on your progress!!

Hey Socalrat Count me in too

I am 33 and live in Melrose Mass. I also have a early disco era 73 Malibu. The body is kinda rough still, original panels and paint dont hold up well here when you drive in snow. I will send you some pics of my BU

Frank

Hey SoCalRat, whats your e-mail address so i can send you a pic of my bitchin 72 Elky SS!! Thanks man, keep up the good work!!

Note on scanners.

Scanners were made more so you could print out images you scan.. so they usualy try to scan at like 400pixles per inch (hell mine goes to 2800ppi) but since your screen shows images at 71/72 ppi if you want it to come up at about the sise you took it, try to scan it @ 50,75, or 100 ppi, from there you can just shrink it or enlarge it a bit to make it the way you want it =)

PS: 5 hous till my new car =) (71 g/on w SS 454(468))

Unfortunately, I do not have a scanner nor do I have access to one. I do have a digital camera and upload all of my pictures through that. I still can't seem to shrink my pics!

Count me in too. I am from Orange County, am in LA right now while I finish school. But I like the idea. I say we play on the stereotype as much as possible. Just for kicks.

I am planning to be at Route 66, although I am in the same boat as you. If the car gets back together I will enter it. Otherwise I will be a spectator.

When it is done(hopefully in a few weeks). My 65 will have a 406 and a 6 speed. It already has the 12bolt 4.10s. I have a pic that I will send you.

All of us going to Route 66 should meet before the event or at it.

Wow! I don't get home 'til 1:00 and I have 60 something posts and 6 e-mails!
Doug (aka JonnyCanuck),
Yes, you are in, the whole intent of this club is to get all varieties of North American classic cars. How can I let out a beautiful Canadian car? BTW what color is it?

Joe,
I know where you are at. My relatives live down there. I'll have to get directions from you.

Hot66ss,
I'll be sure to tell them that when we start making the stickers after we get THE logo. As I said above I have a logo that if you see it you would be stunned, but my paint program sucks.

RagTop70,
Can't wait to see the pics. I would like any pics from all of the members & I like to acknowledge you guys by your names.

TopDown68,
Mild 454? I'd love to be those tires! It'll be on the site today!

72Elky,
If you click the icon by SoCalRat that says E-mail SoCalRat that'll do it. And if that's not there my e-mail is finsandflames@yahoo.com

Dave Nafarrete,
I agree with you about meeting somewhere before the show. If my Chevelle isn't ready, I think I might go with my friend, who has a 68 Firebird 350. What a nose on that car!

As I said before, "Open those headersOr manifolds),dump the clutch, and let GenX show you how it's done!"

Ok hope this works, but here's Chris Clarks logo. u tried to make it clickable, but it did not work so copy this(Ctrl+C) http://genxrodsandcustoms.8m.com/genx.jpg
And then go to your url bar and hit Ctrl+V and then hit Enter. Relly clean logo, maybe we could get rid of Owned by Generation X and just have it say Rods and Customs across the bottom. What do you think. Also made a decision without asking you guys. I do not think it will affect you greatly. I decided since Al has helped us out so much and supplied us with this great site to make him a Full-Time Guest Member. What do you say? Three cheers for Al! Yeah!Yeah!Yeah!

It doesn't work off of clicking it, like you said, what's up with that?
(the post isn't that clear, I'm just saying why is the page rejecting a link from chevelles.com?)
Anyway the logo looks good.
David N.-
I just saw your car on Jason's page, I think I've seen it in person. Do you go to a cruise up in Pasadena on Sat. once in a while? A couple of weeks ago I think i saw it, At least very similar white non-SS, black int. small block, and NHRA stickers on each of the rear quarter windows. hmmm was that your car up there?


[This message has been edited by Steve D 64 SS (edited 07-21-99).]

Check the site out later tonight or tommorrow. The server needs time to think about all the changes. Very organized now. If you check it now it's probably still the old one. Also, lets see if we can here 454 in his "new" Chevelle 468 BB all the way from Massachusetts. Congrats man! And Steve, I don't know why it would not let me link it. Thanks. Be sure to tell your friends with classics about the club.

Geez that logo was way early work man =) didnt expect ya to show the world =) its ok though.. i'll work on it some more tommorow .. today got all ****ed up thanks to the DMV.. i swear thoes people *****ME OFF!

-Chris Clark

I like the logo, I agree that the "rods and customs" part could use some work and maybe ditch the "owned by" part. Otherwise i love it. Very cool.

Jon

Wow, my car almost looks good on the website!!
When I was high school I couldn't afford anything as good as most of you guys. My first ride was a wickedly beat 72 Malibu, 350 two sucker/TH 350 brown with tan vinyl, frame damage and dents on every panel including the decklid. That car could spin the open rear end forever. I did a nice one after graduation with a beer ball in the back seat!! Ahh memories

Frank

------------------

Hey, count me in. I am 22 and own a 64 malibu hard top that I have had since I was 15. Its always been there and always will. I think its about time we take back the streets from those big tach, whinnie muffler, no class, Import piles of crap!

Bye the way cool logo...


P.S I live in Whittier CA.

454,
The people like the logo could use some touching up. I like how Jon66 had the Rods and Customs part only without fading the end. I like that font it's more 50's/60's diner-looking. Also ditch the Owned by...
part. How do you guys like the new site?

Thoes ****s at the DMV Tried to stop me .. but i got my baby today.. had it hauld down on a flatbed =) HAHAH! and did a 0-60 test in front of the cheif of poliece's house =) ehehe didnt have a clock though.. but i'd say this bietch is pumping a good 500-520hp and about equal toqure cause you get MASHED into the back of the seat =)

Also on the logo .. sure thing. I'll send you a few versions tomorrow =) but i'll be buzy gotta get plates ect. then get a sticker.

ME SO HAPPY

-Chris
71 SS454 (468) burn baby burn =)

Congrats 454 or is it 468 now? And I'll look forward to seeing the re-edited version of the logo also see if you can do the Iron Cross thing. I just spent a half hour putting all the founders and members names in my e-mail address book so be expecting something soon. Founders you will get a different message than members.

Cool, ... bastard script wont let me change my name =) eheh

Ya i'll hook you up with a much better logo than the one you have..

im still kinda sketchy on what you mean by iorn cross.. sorry .. slow sometimes =) can you try to clarify a bit bud? thanks

-Chris "468!" Clark

Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!! Just when I thought we rid our street of riceburners, the new neighbors pull up in a CRX with a good for nothing 5-inch tailpipe and a VTEC sticker across their windshield. I'm gonna have to show this kid what Detroit Iron is! And Chris, the Iron Cross was the German medal for strength and courage. If you look it up in a search engine you can probably find it. All you have to do is take the cross and rotate it 45 degrees and it will form one hell of a nice looking X. Then put GenX Rods &(make sure it's the symbol, not the word)Customs.

SoCalRat, I've been checking out your site, its growing fast!! If someone can tell me how to shrink pics after i scan them, i'll send mine to ya. Then you'll have one for the Virginia chapter!! Keep up the good work!!!

[This message has been edited by 72Elky (edited 07-21-99).]

Ok cool bud, i'll find a pic and give it a shot.. may *****a lot of people off due to the naziish nature of it but we'll see how it looks.

Also in photoshop you shrink pics by going to image/image size and enter the #'s

In paint i think its file/image size and enter the #'s

just check through the pull down menus on the program you use =) Good luck, cant wait to see the pics =)

-Chris

TH-

This is a reply to your post that is way above this one about dumbass kids and their systems!! What the heck is wrong with them. But the greatest thing is that after I've pumped out all 450 of my horses to the pavement in the school parking lot, I still have a killer 500 watt Pioneer stereo system with 2 10's in the rear that will blow them all away. I can also jam to Led Zepplin while they listen to their Puff Daddy!! I love being the top dog!!

In my new ride .. god im inlove =) .. due to the aftermarket dash, and all the gauges in it, if i was to put a stero of any sort (currently theres no raido ect) it would be very ugly because i would have to mount it under with nasty brackets .. and theres no speakers in the car ect.. And i really dont want to mess the interior up.. i'll get pics ASAP =))))) Anyway on the broder issue of whether or not to get a Whoop ass noise maker (aside from the engine ) I personaly can see the pro's and con's and its more of a personal choice, some like it some dont. But i think thoes who dont can still apprecieate the cars of thoes who do and vica versa =) oh and one last thing.. any sys that drowns out that beauitfull 454 should be disposed of immeadatly =) sorry for sp. errors =)

-Chris


[This message has been edited by 454 (edited 07-21-99).]

Steve - Actually that was not my car. I have been working on if for a while. It has spent the last few months in pieces in the garage. And I can't remember cruizing through Passedena.

But I gaurantee that once the car is done, after all that work, I am going to cruize it everywhere. I can't wait to get back in the drivers seat. It has been too long

Chris,
It shouldn't *****anyone off because it originated from REAL German soldiers, not the Nazis. Used as a medal for strength and courage. The swastika before being used by the Nazis was a symbol of good luck, not anymore. Sorry about my little history plan. Also 72Elky, the only way I know how to shrink the pics is by what 454 said.

All you non-number people may be interested in this. In my new ride (pics coming) there is a B&M Megashifter. I HIGHLY Recomend this shifter.. its gods gift to cars =) check it out over at http://www.bmracing.com . I cant say for sure what the price is as it was already in the car, but if its not too high its defintly worth the investment.

-Chris

WoW! I go away to Minnesota for a day and come back to a half hours worth of messages, and I still haven't checked out the club page yet.

I'm working on scanning a pic of my 69. Should I give you one of my senior pics with the car or should I give a reg. photo? I'll see what I can find.

Oh btw, my baby is going into the shop on monday for a little rust removal. The bad part is that I can't afford to have it painted yet so I'll be sportin' some ugly primer until next summer when she comes out of hibernation to get a new frost green coat.

In the senior pic with the car, the photographer was creative and perfectly placed my knee in front of the rust, so no one could tell. Cheap coverup though.

Malibu4door,
Either pic will work. I really don't care. It's up to you.
My rust-bucket 67 is gonna get scanned and put on later today so look for that. Also about the "riceboy" neighbor, he brought all his "riceboy" buddies with him. 2 CRX's, a lowered Toyota truck, and 2 wannabe-fast Civics. I think I'm gonna have to teach them a little about some old Detroit Iron. Maybe slam their heads into it(kind of like our friend DZAuto would do). I saw 'em pointing at my car with astonished looks as if they were saying "I'm glad the engine's out of that car!"

Count me in to, I just turned 18 and have owned my 1972 El Camino since before I turned 16. My father and I restored the car. It really was alot of money which meant alot of hours of work and a local restruant. I am from Pittsburgh Pa. This club sounds like fun.

Nice car elcamino72. Love the retina scorching paint too. Tell your friends with the Fords to join the club. Here's his site www.geocities.com/motorcity/speedway/6673 (http://www.geocities.com/motorcity/speedway/6673) Also more pics are going up today and we have a logo design page.

Hot66ss,
I may need an alternate e-mail address, it won't work keeps sending it back.

Guys,
You should have recieved an e-mail from me. If not, e-mail me. Also we have a Colorado chapter now and a total of 30 members(31 with Al)! We need variety also. Grab a friend that has an old Ford, GM, or Mopar & tell em to join.

Houston texas, 22 I would be happy to join. Even though I have had a couple of imports, and those of you that have seen my site Know about my sunfire GT which is technicaly in the import relm. But I am glad to br the owner of an american compact that can put it to alot of imports. 13.9 in the 1/4. But I have longed for the head whipping power of a V8 and what better way to do it than in the form of a chevelle. I guess I will have the best of both worlds! =)

BigBoySlim,
Welcome aboard. Wow! 90 posts! 28 more and we beat the biggest post if Al will keep letting us go on with the post. I might have to make a "I'm 16 and I don't drive an Import:Part 2"
I got some e-mails from some of you. We are eventually going to put up a message board like this so we don't take up Al's space. Also, what do you guys think about a monthly internet newsletter? With pics that you guys send in from cruises and shows with other members. Just a thought need some responses.

Thanks I think SoCal Rat!!! (Born April '60)

72ElCamino, If I had THAT body style, I'd be a MUCH happier camper!!! NICE RIDE!!!

By my count, this is number 90!!!!

what in the hell is generation x, are you prejudiced??

Chris,
You're making me twitch. I can't wait to see the Iron Cross version! Also can you send me a copy of the message I sent you. I forgot to save it for new members. Also, it depends on how long I have to wait, because patience is a virtue and I don't have much of it. When I got my first car, 72 Malibu, hi-performance 350,TH350, I couldn't be takin' out of the seat(maybe it was the 10 lbs. of duct tape the guy put on 'em) & also the excitement woke me up at 5:00am(sometimes earlier) to go feel the rumble and sound of the engine. But the neighbors did not like it too much.

Also 81ElCamino, welcome to the club. You are member#33. You'll be recieving an e-mail shortly.

Ken2,
If you read above you will notice that Generation X is everyone born in N.America between 1961 and 1983. Also, that's a pretty bold state ment. No I'm not prejudice. Once again, if you read above, it tells you all about why I started the club and I even got permission from our friend, Al. If you have any complaints, feel free to send Al or I an e-mail. And also, a good Christian boy would not be prejudice to anyone. Have a good day.

Hey SoCal, I'm all for a monthly newletter, and even more for a separate message board. I noticed on the GenX site a few pictures that came up File Not Found. Anyone else? It may be just me, I'll check it out.
SoCal, How would you prefer I tell friends to join, e-mail to you or by dropping a line on the message board?

A few of my friends want in. They all have late model american cars. Is that ok?

Malibu4door,
I'll check the site out it's been having some glitches & I prefer e-mails.

Dave,
That's fine and dandy with me.

Guys,
It seems we have some people that don't like us. Don't worry I'll handle it in the most respectful way I can. Please do not post on "Generation X Yo-Yos" I've got it under control. Thanks to Randy Mosier. And is that 100 posts? or 99?

[This message has been edited by SoCalRat (edited 07-22-99).]

100 posts! Thanks to all of you who contributed to this post. Only 18 more posts and you'll be a part of Team Chevelle history! Thanks to Al especially for keeping this post open!

Hey have you been sending e-mail to all the members? i was an early member (like mabe 1?) and not recived anything

P.S cant wait to see the iron cross version


[This message has been edited by crank64 (edited 07-23-99).]

Hot66SS,
Yes, I was sending out e-mails. Because of my inability to read & write at the same time I missed the e in your e-mail address, that's why it never got to you.

Ace841,
Got the pics. Look great. Will hopefully be up today.
Crank64,
I know how you feel. I just hand them to my friend & say, "You do it!"

Hey let's hear it for SoCal! He stuck up for our club (in Generation X YoYo's) as good as I think is possible.

If someone read all 105+ messages, there wouldn't be misunderstandings, such as ken2's. We are for a good cause.

Hey Malibu4door,
I love you man! In all seriousness though thank you guys for the support. I know some people may not agree from where we are coming from and I know how they feel, but it is just something I felt I had to do. Also, got the pics that were down back up(helps when you put gif instead of jpg) and 5 more pics including 3 of my car(one with my goofy self in it, it was the second day I had the car and I had that stupid smirk on my face since the day before) The pics of my car are huge! As of now, but we will shrink them. Also guys, a total of 33 members in 4 days! Wow! Thanks once again for the support! Almost forgot! http://genxrodsandcustoms.8m.com Like you haven't seen it 20 times before on this topic. Also we have 3 new logo designs and another couple coming.

[This message has been edited by SoCalRat (edited 07-23-99).]

I've probly got more experinece in the web than most others, so SoCal dont think im contradicting you bud. Just a little point:

.Gif pics are only 256 colors, this is bad =) makes um look realy nasty.

.JPG's are 16bit (32,000 colors) makes the pics look much better.

It would look best if you use JPG when possible, also the file sizes of the two are about equal in most cases..

My .10 =)

-Chris

You can count me in. Sent you the pic a little while ago.

The logos look cool. Keep up the good work.

Well guys, my name has come a few times in this posting so I better comment.

We always try to support anything that will benefit our hobby. I'm not real thrilled about seeing any kind of a split due to age, that's the one thing the internet (and this site) have going for it. No one judges you on your age, race, religion or any other beliefs.
Everyone comes into this forum with a clean slate and goes from there. Words and actions determine your level of respect from fellow hobbyists.

I emailed SoCalRat with this thought when the post started and he explained why he wanted to have a specialized site. That pretty well sums it up.

Regarding Chevelle history and this post - hmm, can't say as the number of postings necessarily makes history. The Threats to us from the Law is unique as it contained a lot of dialog and expressions. We really have no intention of trying to see how big a post can be.

I'll leave this topic open but a new thread will probably have to be started soon.

The 'core' group of people who have been working on Team Chevelle for the past couple of years range from the teens to the sixties (I'm in between if that matters).



[This message has been edited by Al (edited 07-23-99).]

Two thumbs up to you SoCalRat! I'm 30 and I've never driven anything but chevy since my first car,79 Monza notchback.OOPS, never that is up to now ( 95 Jeep wrangler). I admire your enthusiasim and determination . I would send you some pics of my 67 malibu but I have no way to put them on the net. I have webtv . It allows me to surf the net but, it has no computer functions (and if it does, I don't know about it) Well, Great job so far, man. Just another GEN Xer ........Joe454

Hey guys, I'm going to open a new topic "I'm 16:Part 2" This one is taking up a lot of space for Al. Al, if you're reading this please close this thread. I would like to see jmw win the topic war because I agree, it was probably the best topic so far & I put my .02 into that topic also. Check out the site. More new stuff! See ya in the next post! AL, SEAL HER UP!

i liked that "all kids don't drive rice" that make a great sticker anyway i'm a junior and there's only two chevelles in my school of 3500 mine and a cheerleader who drive's it in half prime (no joke)

WOW! This topic is open again? And does the cheerleader look good? Does she know about Team Chevelle? Also, there was a topic called "I'm 16:Part 2" because this topic got too big...go up to Search on the main page of Chevelle Tech up in the top right hand corner & hit search. Then type "16" in the search bar and type SoCalRat for name(Exact Match) then hit search. Post any more answers in that topic. Thanks guys. Also, good news, 58 members! Thanks a lot to Al & others at TC. Al please seal this one up!

I'm 15 and born on 12/30/83. I own a 1970 El Camino and I am extremely proud of it. I paid $750 for it (it had been sitting in a field for 2 years and needs a new body). I'm still not old enough to drive alone but I can get my permit and I know I'll be the only one at my school with an old muscle car. In fact, Im not going to park it in the school parking lot because I'm afraid something might be done to it so I'll park it somewhere else. She might not be the prettiest car there is (rust sucks) but at least she's american!!!

I am 20 and love my 72 Chevelle, as do all of the ladies. HOWEVER, My good friend has a 92 Plymouth laser (non-import, but still a ricer). It is a four cyl. turbo, that is all-wheel-drive. It will run 12.7's @110mph in the 1/4 mile!! No $%*!, He can spank a 98 camaro SS. If i'm lying, may my chevelle dissapear. nope, it's still here.

So, be ware! Some of those Fiberglass tupperware rides can fly!
