Local Car Show


Recommended Posts

So I brought the Chevelle to our local car show as I do every year, and I figured i would share some pictures. Its was a great turnout this year with almost 500 cars.

 

I took the Chevelle out for the first time this year the weekned before and it was running like crap. It died on me multiple times. I ended up overnighting a new carburetor, but during the install we broke one of the studs that attaches the carb to the manifold, so we had to drill that out. I also broke the choke so I had to order a new one. I also did a complete tune up. The chevelle now runs great when you give it gas, but it runs very rough while idling in gear. I guess I will have to fiddle with it some more to figure out what is wrong.

 

Anyway here are some pictures.

This truck was nuts. It was pieced together from multiple different vehicles and farm equipment. It has a Detroit Diesel engine from a tractor, and its twin turbo'd.

Thanks everyone

 

 

You all sure get a nice turn out for that show. Lots of sweet cars and trucks.

 

Yeah its always a really nice turnout. They have a 500 car limit and usually have around 450 or so. A couple years ago they filmed and episode of My Classic Car and they actually hit the 500 car limit and had to turn a few cars away.

 

I think the location helps quite a bit . Its in a very nice park with lots of shade and its near the lake so when it gets hot there is still a nice cool breeze coming off the lake.

 

A few years ago a new car club took over running the show and they moved it to a different crappy location. They had less then 250 cars show up that year. Then they moved it back and it took a few years to get people to come back.

Looks great dan. I wish I could make it out there. It would be fun to walk around and check the stuff out

 

that would be Awesome. Though this could be my last show for a while. Im moving to Portland soon, but I may be able to make the trip down to this show.

 

 

I hope to make it to the GM nationals one of these years.
