2005 Hot Rod Power Tour
 

Just wanted to know who all is planning on going on this year power tourer?
Also which states will you be traveling from because I live in the Dallas/Ft Worth area so I was just wondering how many are leaving from Texas? :D


Thanks
Rick Kirkindall :morepower :_party:

I'll be on it, not sure my car will though.

Jody

Hey Guys

I'm in and going all the way for the Long Haul. I missed the tour last year with the car, however I made with my truck and met up with it in the Lake of the Ozarks (Missouri) and toured to St. Loius. It's a lot of fun, the people are really great and if you break, people stop. It's cool.

Cars don't leak, they mark their territory!

I'm flyin Miami to chicago hooking up with my buddy who is driving his 1 of only 10 in the world Marlboro syclones and we're doin the whole tour! :thumbsup:

BigAl...

I'm pretty certain that I'll be doing the long haul, too. :)

I certainly hope so!

Jody :eek:

Ok, I'll change that to 99.99% certain that I'm doing the long haul. :thumbsup:

I wish! There is no way my ride will be ready in time to make the tour. Maybe in 2006. I hope to just having it running by the first week or two in June 05.

You driving your car, Scott?

No, my car won't be ready, but I'll be making the trip with a friend.

My car will not be ready so I am going to do a repeat in the ride I did the 99 power tour in...55 nomad. I am only going to hit Nashville and Birmingham.

I would love to go on the tour again, but the drive to the start of the tour from Los Angeles would be brutal. The drive to TX for last years tour was hard enough, but maybe if I change out the 4.11 gears and add an overdrive... :)

I'm trying to pull together info for locals planning to attend Power Tour 2005. Where your staying? Are you doing the entire tour? What do you drive? I'll try to organize some of the info in the thread link below.

Im Going On The Long Hull In My 66 Elcamino Pro Street And I Will Be Bring 300 Gallons Of Vp Racing Fuel With Me. I Leve Fla. June 1.

Sounds like quite a trip for you. I take it you have a chase vehicle?

Yes I Will Be Bring A Traier With Me In Case Someone Eles Needs It To.

*BREAKING NEWS*


It looks like Gale will be long hauling the black TT pick up. He also plans on taking the Sidewinder as a "back up vehicle" another TT pick up and a trio of new diesel pick ups as well.

I am trying to go but I think all the passenger spots are full already. :mad:

Good luck on that Jason, it'd be nice to meet you.

Jody

I will be "long-hauling" on the Power Tour this year. I will be driving a 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Convertible. Nashville to Milwaukee to Orlando and back to Nashville. Sounds like its time for a practice run!!!!

I will probably drive my daily commuter Cherokee to Nashville and check out everybody elses ride. Hopefully mine will be driveable by the end of this year.

We'll be doing the long haul in '06 with our then completed Chevelle. :thumbsup:

I'm gonna try to catch it in Birmingham and go to the end. Don't know yet if the wife will let me spend the money! :rolleyes:

Schedule conflicts make it impossible for me to participate in the PT long haul, but my fresh built 69 Chevelle convertible is scheduled to be ready and able. I was fortunate to make a deal with Jody and Scott to drive it from start to finish, so by the time I get it...Jody will have had a chance to fix everything...LOL. The project is a collaborative effort by two of our site sponsors. The project began at Micky Hale's shop, then to Aloha Automotive for finishing. The schedule is very, very tight [as usual], but the crew at Aloha is working diligently to make it happen. Progress can be monitored at www.alohadreamcars.com, or click on their sponsor flag, then click on "Work In Progress" link to the shop video camera page. Follow the instructions about operating the real time video cam to see the yellow Chevelle come together. Jody and Scott monitor this forum far more frequently than I have a chance to visit, so they can answer any/all specific questions about the particulars and specs of the Pro-Touring Chevelle. Aloha will deliver the car to Colin's open house in Milwaukee on June 2 and I hope to at least attend that pre tour gathering just to watch Jody eat free BBQ. :D

Take your tool box Jody... :yes:

Look for A LOT of pictures of the Chevelle soon. :thumbsup:

Steve, I can't thank you enough for this opportunity. :)

Steve gave me permission to post a pic. Here's the Chevelle, it has a Ramjet ZL1, TKO600, Fab 9, Wilwoods, 18's, etc. I'll have A LOT more pictures of it after Jody and I drive it across country. :thumbsup:

This picture is from a few months ago:

Yes, I would also like to publicly thank Steve Sandlin for offering us this cool ride for the Tour. There are very few people in this world that would make such an offer, and I REALLY appreicate it! :thumbsup: This is going to be a LOT of fun!

Steve, I wish. My son Derek has some golf tournaments during the PT. Some day I will join you cool guys, your Chevelle is going to look great, love the black top. With Jody driving you better have a Rambo proof accelarator pedal to withstand the abuse!!LOL.

You'd probably be surprised Stuart! :eek: I don't beat on other people's cars. Not afraid to "test" my own stuff though! :unibrow: I know Scott and I are hoping for a Mule "flyby" to video!
