first show for big Orange on Father's day. thought I was looking good until I looked behind me. Note the license plate.

I'd consider "Big Orange" the nicer of the two..... Especially considering it didn't take a team of techs and a barrel of cash to build her. The personal connection of doing yourself adds so much.

Overhaulin’, overschmaulin’ !! Big Orange gets my vote.

I fully understand. You guys put a ton of time and effort into these meets. FYI, it does NOT go unnoticed or unappreciated. We all thank you. Same goes for that other guy out east. Lol.

Like big Orange WAY better! No disrespect to the overhauling version.

Big orange would have my vote, Not impressed with the other.

The location of the meet changes every year. Photos from the Ashland meet will be posted on the forum soon.

A-Dod, let me know anything you need help with. If the Baugh doesn’t work, I’ll hit the pavement and find one that does! I’m taking this meet personal since it’s in my hood! Lol.

Our younger son and I at a car cruise today, my 29 Model A Tudor Sedan and his 97 BMW328i rob

2023 Western Meet Logan, Utah June 29-July 2, 2023 The 2023 Western Meet will be held in Logan, Utah. The event we are attending is the Cache Valley Cruise In which has a show and shine, poker run, scenic cruise, swap meet, car givaway, and more. I will follow up with other details soon. I’m excited to attend a meet in a state we haven’t been to before. https://cvcacruisein.com/

I agree with you on that one. I’ll take the cool weekend we had which overall wasn’t bad.

It turned out to be the right weekend in spite of Friday's rain. We're looking at 104 degrees for this weekend.

I’ll be at (registered in) the 2022 CV Cruise-in at the end of this month. I will talk to the organizers as well. Get some of the more nuanced details for car clubs wishing to attend! Will report back.

Aaron is a rockstar! 🤘🏻

I wish I could come!! Y’all have a great time!

This meet is coming together nicely. Now that the Western Meet is over, I'm really looking forward to this one!

It’s time to start the planning for it. Already checking out hotels etc. 😎

Wow you don’t miss a beat.

I,I,I o god. No words. Is it too late to get my money back on the meet? I can’t go under these circumstances.

On a side note, turns out I do have a Speedo suit from years ago. Rob has asked me to bring it so he isn't all alone. How could I deny a 'Presidential' request? Get ready to poke your eyes out people... i just threw up in my mouth.

I run a Ohio First Gen group on Facebook, and we have meet ups at local cruise ins and car shows, hopefully they keep getting bigger there seems to be a lot of first gens in Ohio especially in N,E Ohio , we have over 300 members in the group

That's unbelievable to see that many First Gen Monte's and it not be a mini meet ! Beautiful , thanks for sharing !!

I was the only First Gen at a local cruise in today.....no surprise. Guess I should have taken a picture so everyone knows it really happened.

I noticed my Monte's reflection in the wheels of a 66 Impala, thought it looked cool 😎

It depends on the engine size. My 70 350 2brl is a metal black tube painted in semi-gloss same as the air cleaner.

James, Been there, done that. As Doug says, it's fairly easy, even easier on the front because you only have to locate and drill one hole for each guard. I installed re-chromed guards on my stock '70 bumpers and then re-installed the front guards on a new front bumper later using exactly the same procedure. Of course, I had the mount the new front bumper first. If you want to drill the hole before you mount the new bumper, you can locate the hole using relative measurements from your original bumper. The hardest part is convincing yourself to drill into a brand new shiny bumper. Basically, with the new bumper already mounted, you just partially attach the front guards with the lower bolt in the hole provided on the bottom edge of all front bumpers, align them vertically with a carpenter's square or level and mark the bumper on both sides of the guard. The horizontal location of the hole will be exactly in the middle of those two marks (see photos below). The vertical location of the hole is easy if you first make a cardboard template by tracing the inside edge of the guard and marking the location of the upper mounting hole on the template, then hold the template on the bumper at the horizontal location and transfer the vertical dimension onto the bumper (see photos below). After drilling the hole, it may need to be de-burred and the edges should be protected from rusting with durable paint before final assembly. Good luck.
