SS_bnoon_SS Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 It's time for another central Iowa meet. I'm posting here to find out what we want to do. BBQ at my place again (I'll get my wife to make her famous beans again!)? Porky's cruise? Saylorville picnic area? Eddyville or Cedar Falls raceway? Let me know what you guys think we should do.

Let me know what you guys think we should do. who else is in the Des Moines Area ? I want to add them to favorites.. anyway thanks for add and i look forward to your painting of the under hood. i had done this to my 2k3 silverado and it looked pretty good. I see that my engine dress up kit will not work on my SS, plus they are painted red. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fast4popper Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 I am up for a cruise, IF I EVER get my heads back from machine work. dont get me started on that, I was supposed to puttin them on as we speak. anyway, if this can delay for like a month, the SS will be alive, pending any BS that seems to come my way. other than that we can meet at my place if its not working and have a BBQ here as well. God I miss my truck!! damn mods keep me from drivin it. soon soon is all I keep telling myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukes truck n Car. just an idea.. Your name isn't Rick S is it? Used to know a guy yyyyyears ago that had one of those Sonoma GT's and they're pretty rare... I used to race my red '70 vette on Valley Dr too, and down on S. Union in the business/wharehouse area. Where is Dukes? What do you guys do there? Chris, I've been thinking about August 4th or 11th, is that enough time? You're having Midstates do the machine work, right? Did they put racer's in front of your work or something? I would have thought that they would have been all caught up with that crap and been pretty slow right now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the Sonoma Gt with the cowl hood, dual exhaust, chip, underdrive pullys, thermostat and loved to spank those V8's off the line until the v8 power caught back up with me half way down the strip. i could never beat them but sure was fun watching them grabbing gears in the mirror shitting their pants as 4.3 CPI motor beat them off the line.. always will never die that i still love the Syclone and Typhon.. anyway we folks down yonder @ Dukes truck n Car sell TRUCK AND CAR ACCESSORIES, YOU NAME IT PRETTY MUCH AND WE CAN GET IT.. for the most part.. we are located on the southside and we listen our customers, got tired of getting yanked around looking for parts and said hell we can do that and listen to our customers, sell them what they want and not some fancy wheels, when they wanted a bug shield.

August 11th should be doable. Actually I think there is a car show in Adel that weekend. I saw it at the O riellys by my house. we could hit that?? Rich, glad to see someone listening to your customers, lord knows the 2 "BIG shops" in town dont. I love to hear the storys from their customers as they walk into my shop bitchin. Yes my heads are at Midstate. NEVER AGAIN!! I will ship the shit out of state before I go there again. wife dropped them off over 3 weeks ago. told them what i needed. I called them weds they still didnt order my ZO6 springs!! so I did it, they promised me to be done Friday, well I go to get them on lunch, the found 2 bent valves... dont you think they would have ordered them when they took em out to do the machine work? Like I said, dont get me started.... Brad, Have you heard from Kyle? we should get ahold of him as I never see him on the boards anymore. maybe PM him bout the 11th? lemme know what you think. that gives me like 2 weeks..... shit I gotta get goin...

Rich S that used to work with Matt DePhillips at the U-haul on Douglas back in the early 90's? He used to call you "SHMUCKDUCKLY" because it was to hard to pronounce your last name... If that's you, nice to see you again Rich! Anyway, I'm Brad N and used to hang around with Matt a lot back then. August 11th should be doable.

OK, I'll give him a PM. 2 weeks? My calendar says we have 4 weeks. Today's the 15th dude! Not good to hear that about Midstates. It used to be my favorite place to machine work until the new owner. You know Arnold's Motor Supply up in Ankeny has a full machine shop too. Maybe go up there next time. They built all of my engines in high school and always did good work.

jbaker Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 (edited) I'd be down to meet you all and siphon some SSS knowledge out of you! I'd like to know which of the DSM SSS drivers are worth waving to ;-) I was a former jeep owner and miss the friendliness of the 'jeep wave' (ok, enough of sensitive side...now I can just stomp on those little jeepers!) Unfortunately I'm tied up the weekend of the 2nd for a buddies wedding (was this the target weekend?) Is this G2G still in the works? JB Ok, every once in awhile I have to remember how sweet the SSS is just to have, even though it's bone stock for now. My list of mods is growing by the day, but I must start with fresh tread which still hasn't yet happened. Please tell me I'm not the only stock SSS in town.

Kyle's03SilveradoSS Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 I haven't been on these boards in what seems like forever. Good job catching me while I was pulling into work, Chris. Just let me know when and where (I'll be sure to check back here before August 11th). So long as I don't have something come up last minute I'd be glad to go.
