I would take either but prefer the Monte so I could get in and out of it a heck of a lot easier. Fall into the vette and then roll out on the groundd and TRY to get up LOL LOL

I just want to give a shout-out to Aaron D. He’s a great guy and I’m glad to be able to enjoy such a cool club! See you in Ashland! 👍🏼

THURSDAY EVENING PIZZA PARTY AND GO-CART RACING On Thursday evening we will be having our usual Pizza Party at the hotel. This is always a popular activity for our members who arrive early. For the Pizza Party we collect around $6.00 per person and order enough assorted pizza’s to fill everyone’s hunger needs. We have never had anyone go away hungry. Since everyone’s desire for beverages is different, we ask everyone to bring their own beverages for the pizza party. Since most members already have their beverages for our evening “Bench Racing” bringing them for the pizza party should create no issues. Following the Pizza Party we will leave as a group with everyone who is interested in some spirited go-cart racing. The Go-Cart racing will be a weather permitting activity. We will caravan to the Carlisle Sports Emporium for this activity and everyone can leave there on their own to return to the club host hotel. At a later date I will be sending an email only to members who are arriving Wednesday and Thursday to try to get a count on how many will be attending the Pizza Party. I don’t need to know this now so at this point in time I do not need a response on this. WHAT IS THIS BENCH RACING I HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT For those who have never attended one of our meets, Bench Racing is an activity that is one of the most popular functions of any meet. Bench Racing is simply where every evening we all gather in the parking lot of the host hotel with our folding chairs, bringing the beverage and snacks of our own choice. We usually start with the first members arriving in the parking lot assembling their chairs in a small circle in front and behind of our parked cars and sit there and tell some stories and tell some jokes and maybe even tell some lies. Bench Racing is nothing more than our happy hour/social hour get together where we really get to know each other. Many, many long lasting friendships have been solidified during our bench racing sessions and there have also been times where needed “Repair Seminar’s” have happened. Sometimes these repair seminars are a leadup to knowing who will be awarded the “Hard Luck” award at our Award dinner. rob

I have a list around here somewhere. If I can't find it, I'll look when I get home later & post it up. It came from a Chevelle restoration book that was pretty decent.

Oh I've messed it up enough 😅 trust me on that. Be very careful with the metel work, if you mess up the filler you sand it off and start over. I'm pretty sure that's how my wrist got messed up, dr aggrees, but I guess I'm that stubborn and also want to learn more. It's getting there.

So I got the Wagon delivered yesterday. Today I threw on the 275's from the Monte to see how they fit. There is plenty of room to spare so I think 295's are in my future. Needs to be lowered an inch or so. Here is a before and after pic...
