August 23rd - If any of you missed the
Ohio Northern Chevelle's ACES Regional Event last month, you missed a heck
of a weekend party (or so I heard). I had a last minute family issue
that came up, so I can only relive it by checking out the dozens and dozens
of photos on their website. This show was so big, they actually had to
turn people away!!!
Check it out. -Martin

August 18th - Last night I saw a
commercial for a movie coming out on August 28th called
War. The movie has a couple
of martial arts experts including
Jason Statham who was in
the Transporter, Crank, and The Italian Job and
Jet li. The movie
definitely will be action packed with tons of hand to hand fight scenes.
At any rate, what caught my attention was a brief snapshot of a car chase. One of the cars is a '69 Chevelle that does a front end flip off a median while the import drives off. You can tell its a '69 because the dual head light with inset turn signal in the bumper. But it looks as if they've put '70 strips on the car. Also, there was a little creative license in putting "cowl induction" on the hood bulge, which didn't come out until '70. Why is it that the awesome American muscle
car is sacrificed rather than the ricer?!? Well at least, the Chevelle
gets some on screen time. |

August 9th - Tonight I had dinner in a
local Italian place, and up on the bar TV they were running Hot Rod Power
Tour TV on ESPN HD. Well I don't have that at home so I watched the
pictures for a while (volume was turned off). Interestingly, up came a
silver colored '70 Chevelle that had something about it I just couldn't
place. So, I came home and poked around a little on the computer.
Turns out that this is car is a
special
Mothers Wax car that runs on propane!! Check it out. -Martin |

August 8th - Folks, one of our club
member has started a '73 El Camino project. Unfortunately, he's having
trouble locating parts. In particular he is looking for inner rear
wheel wells. If you have any contacts for good used or after market
parts for the '73-'77 El Caminos, please
email Les Thanks. -Martin |
