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 Importart 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.

 

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! =)

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.

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.
My email is
elcamino72@hotmail.com
Pics of my Elky can be seen at

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!"

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

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.

 

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

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

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!!

 

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

 

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!!!

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.

 

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

 

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.

 

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

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?

 

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.

 

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

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

 

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!
