I will have my L-78 Chevelle conv and my big block 69 Camaro there.So if your in the Villa park area stop by. A couple blocks West of rt 83 on north ave.

I have to finish putting it together, but looks like the Dover Yenko will be there.

Does Strat still have that Survivor 12 second 1/4 mile 1971 LS6 Corvette?

I would call the "Strats" Car show a sucsess. They had to start turning cars away as early as 10 am as there was no where left to park.

Over a hundred vehicles were present.

I sure had fun, the best part though,was meeting several members from this site.

Thanks to all the guys who made the trek, and stopped by to say Hello. It was a pleasue to meet you in person and hope to see you guys and your cars again soon.

mr70,
Thanks for the compliment. Are you adding points for my new 'Douglass' show sign?

You almost had ssl78 swaping exhaust manifolds in the parking lot

He asked me if I knew the difference between the 1969 and 1970 drivers side BB exhaust manifold and I relpied yeah sure, the date!

Well I guess you learn something new every day, thanks for the info.
