Had a good time! It was great to meet all the new members of the club and put faces with screen names, thanks to Alex's name tags.......... Also nice to see some old friends againl!

Lotsa great people, lotsa nice cars, and lotsa good food!! Special thanks to Tim and Mandi for hosting what was IMO, a very successful meet!

Sorry about that delay y'all, PB is a pain in the tail...

Oh my god! crazy to think what a little buffing will do. Im guessing you need a good buffer, tried doing my back bumper which isnt half as bad as your trunk lid (no offense ) and minimal difference, was using a much smaller, apparently cheaper buffer then that one, and normal car polish turtle wax? Maybe its because im plastic and your metal, dunno, either way, looks like you guys had a great time!

No offense takin, i'm surprised that worked tho, it was BAD.

 

[shopower17]

Yeah here's my pic of Chris on that super sweet and safe ladder

No offense takin, i'm surprised that worked tho, it was BAD.

It wasnt as bad as the pic showed, the pic was after Chris (hunterVf) had scuffed it up with a quick wet sand, then he used a buffer ( as seen in the pics) and some kind of buffing compound..... it did do a world of difference but the before pics were brefor buffing and after wet sanding.

 

[98TRSHO]

Hey that ladder came with the house... and you know all the good things in life are free!!



BTW you guys if we want to make it a yearly thing to get togther on Labor day were all for it, we'll even host it if you guys want to....

No the picture of my trunk before was right before he wet sanded it, thats the way the trunk has been for a year

ok my bad i swear it looked like that after the sanding but its your car you'ed know!!!!

 

[JoesSHO]

That ladder was the best! Good thing we didn't end up with a blurry sky shot with a bunch of blurry SHO's followed by a thread titled:

"Taking Huntervf to the ER (56K fuggedaboutit!)"

 

[98TRSHO]

Hey now i wan't the dumba@@ that said "hey just hold it he'll be fine"

 

[bigred56k]

Hey guys great meet, good to see some people again, and meet new people. It was fun working on Matt's POS but we got her fixed. Never would have thought what Chris did would have worked on shopower's trunk. Thanks Tim and Mandy for having this meet hope to do it next year sometime.

Tony

Ill post some pictures when ever i can figure out how to do it. Think that I have to get a photobucket.

 

[1slickRED89]

Looks like it was a nice time, I wish I could have gone!

 

[JoesSHO]

Wait- whos the dumba@@? Are you saying that my car is dirty? Do I need to go wash my car?

 

[SuperHO]

so here's my resized contributions....


how many people does it take to clean one of the nastiest intakes and valve covers I've ever seen?



Bill making an engine VERY happy...


At this point, it took 5 people to figure out what was really lurking in the engine bay.


I promised Chris and Steve that I wouldn't make any primate having relations with a popular sports object comments, but c'mon, guys...how long does it take to reassemble an intake?



It's a beautiful thing......kinda like looking at Jessica Alba standing behind Bea Arthur and Kathy Bates

Ahhhh...a man and his grill....tis a beautiful thing. We couldn't get Joe away from the food all day long.


Sho owners and food......kinda like, peanut butter and jelly.


Chris, screwing up what would have otherwise been a perfectly good picture....




And a great day was had when I didn't have to patch chris up, though I thought for certain I'd be getting the first aid kit out while he was trying to scrape the old gasket off the intake with a razor blade.....and then the Ladder of Death.....yeah.

Unfortuantly, we had a casualty later in the night. Initial reports make it seem that the SHO powered 626 dropped a valve. Apparently they were racing Blue2ndGEn (bruce) when it started smoking REAL bad.....and yesterday, nick was telling me of oil in the tailpipe. No rod knock...just smoke and oil.


So...who wants to donate a 3.2 block and bottom end to ressurect this monster?

 

[Huntervf]

I went ahead and merged the two pic threads in preparation for my own deluge of pics and vids

Wouldn't be a SHO meet if we didn't have a parking lot repair en-route. Here's SHOpower17 installing a new tail light while we were waiting for the late arrivals in Ann Arbor:

Hookin' up with Chuck & John just outside Kalamazoo:

Our hosts!:

Joe demonstrating his in-depth experience with weiner manipulation. Note SHOpower in the background... not sure if he's grossed out or slightly turned on

We like our food SPICY. *** Habanero pepper sauce and yes, Hemmorhoid Helper Habanero sauce
