[johnnynumber5]

Who's planning on going on power tour 2010? Im planning on coming to springfield,il. on sunday morning and stayin the night and then driving down to du quoin,il. on monday and coming back home that night since its only about 45min. away from my home.

[Tony_SS]

I'm mulling it over... Sounds like a good plan or at least showing up at Du Quoin for the day and drive back that evening.

[thedodgeboys]

I am making plans

[Nine Ball]

I'm planning on doing my 5th Long Haul. Just need to decide which car to focus on until then.

[Morgan]

I'll be there. Doesn't really matter where it goes to me I alway have a blast and wouldn't miss speding time with all my friends along with making new ones. Though I'm not looking forward to the ride home next year.

[johnnynumber5]

We all will have to post up pics of what we will be driving. Ill be in this unless something happens to it.

[vintageracer]

[bamadale]

[Taman]

Glad to be wrong. I will be going on the fist 2 or 3 legs.

[thedodgeboys]

OK vets best place to stay would be what kind of hotel for safe parking?

[2ndgenhunter]

I am wantin to long haul if i get this damn house done.

[Steve88]

I have vacation scheduled for the whole week but I am unsure if I am going to do the long haul or not, but definately starting it and going a few days.

I'll be driving this pig for almost 4k miles...

Its 1100 miles just to Iowa.... Damn!

My car should have the z06 bumper & fenders on there by then, and maybe the tvs2300... just dont know yet.

[BIG KRIS]

Hope to make my 1st one in 2010.If i just do springfield for the day that should be a 2hr drive i think.

[herd546]

I am looking froward to the 2010 Power Tour. I have put in for the Vacation time.
Should be a lot of fun. I have been on the Power Tour 05, 07 and 09.

[2ndgenhunter]

I have decided. Hell with the house! I'm making the tour!! No Idea what I'm driving but I'm making it.

[Flash68]

Power Tour is fired until they realize Calif is part of the United States still.

[ANIMOSITY]

Plan on taking the Cobra up to Springfield.

[martZ]

Hotels booked... This will be my 8th Long Haul. Can't wait.

[Blowngt92]

I will be there. Hopefully I will have my 69 ready to go, but will use my fiancee's 98 saleen as a back up.

[86Cutlass383SR]

This is just the motivation I needed! I only live about 15 miles from Du Quoin. My goal is to catch up hopefully in Springfield and follow along to Du Quoin. Might even be able to head on farther south for awhile.

I just got a phone call the other day my engine is done and I'm shooting for picking it up Friday. The car's not even close to moving on it's own right now, let alone a Power Tour. It'll still be ugly, it'll still be un-finished. It'll never be as nice as most of the other cars on here.

But it's the inspiration I needed!!!

Sorry, it's not much to look at but here's what I finally got started on this past summer and the most recent pic I have of it now.

What I started on...

and close to the present condition..

Still awaiting the 383, T56, new fuel lines, gas tank, brake lines, brakes, tires, blah, blah, etc, etc...

[72ratnova]

[PhillipM]

I am planning on making my first long haul in this monster....

Dude that engine bay is awesome! Please tell me you just aren't quite finished with the front end?!? Please?!?

[camrat68]

I've got the hotels booked, and the vacation time has been set aside. Now I just have to decide which car to take and try to convince the wife to go along after the minor disaster we had on last years Tour.

I think it might've scarred her for life.:idea:

[86Cutlass383SR]

I am planning on making my first long haul in this monster....

Yer radiator's hangin' out yer bumper... !!! :idea: Oh...that's no radia... Holy ***** !!!

That looks Scary Fun! Nice ride!

[Charley Lillard]

I'm booked....Can't wait...

[Z06killinSBF]

I would love to make it. Maybe I can get the car worthy by then and loop around B-ham and back down.

[injcted]

I'm totally going i went on the 09' Tour. My car was in the HotRod issue went covered the stops. I'm listed in the Bristol stop. I have the white 64 Comet, although they call it a 65.

[Morgan]

Hopefully besides the turbos you are fixing that "small" gas leak over this winter as well (I was behind you in Bristol in my green '68 Camaro 'vert). ;-)

Hope to see you on the road again this year!

[TheKingOTW]

There have been some changes since these pics were taken, but for now, it's done. Is there something you don't like? Do you think I would have put the Intercooler in the bumper if I had any other choices?

yeah, not much room in the front of the earlier Chevelles. I kept Mark Stielows setup when I re-did my 64, fit it between the grille and radiator support with mods to the support structures, and a wider opening in the front bumper to feed fresh air.

To stay on topic, I've gone three years so far, but I've sold the Chevelle and it looks like I'll miss next year. For any on the fence, you really should go. It's the most fun car-wise that I've ever experienced.

Very nice Chevelle.

Originally I had the intercooler in front of the radiator (behind the grill), but had air flow problems which made the car run too hot on hot days. Living in South Florida is nice, except in the summer, you have days at 95-100 degrees. Now with the setup the way it is, the car runs at 180 degrees on days when it is 90 degrees. Since there is very little room to work with as it is, I really did not have much of a choice on the intercooler, especially if I wanted to get airflow across it.

[MonzaRacer]

Well I have 2 cars on the burner, my 77 Monza and my 84 Caprice 2dr.
I hope to use the current 402 bbc in my Caprice, and I am building a 283 for the Monza.
My Pro-Touring cars are going to run old school power plants with high tech tricks.
My Caprice is going to use a switch pitch turbo 400, the 402 and still its hopefully going to have 18in Vette wheels in black, the big Vette brakes in front with Kore3 brackets. And S10 disc in back. I intend to use simple cool ride front and rear.
Ill try to use some of my other parts, maybe try to get bucket seats and floor shifter in.
The Monza is going to run a 040 283, all forged rotating assembly, TCI th350 with Saturday Night Special converter, and 202/160 double humps as they are what I have. I hope it will get its air ride, and custom 4 link, probably wont get 17 in Vette wheels or brakes by summer as I Intend to up grade to Vette wheels and the smaller c5 brakes front and s10 disc in back. the future holds for twin TO4 Vtrim turbos if possible.
But lots of things need to go right as I am also looking into starting my own repair shop if possible with co-worker as soon as possible.
As for cooling I intend to use Evans cooling NPG+ to compliment the new aluminum radiators I will need.

[Texas 1972 Velle]

Im going in this, my chevelle wont be ready by then, but next year it will be, Driving all the way from south texas, 20 miles from the border of mexico. It should have long tubes and corsa exhaust by then, :enguard:36221

[injcted]

I wanted to go but at Autorama i was asked to be a display car at the Ford nationals @ Carslise. I went last year and sooooo much fun!

[jerhofer]

This will be my first Power Tour and I am planning on doing the Long Haul. Registration done and all reservations made. My buddy of 30 years is driving to NC from FL to go along with me, much to my wife's relief. Two 64 year old geezers looking forward to a good time!! And maybe a beer or two!!

[Evldoer]

I will be dragging along in my nova again this year. I would like to see a list of the hotels you guys have booked, I need to make reservations yet and it would be cool to see where you guys are staying.

[LUV2XCLR8]

Didn't make it last year, but was passing through Lexington, KY
on my way to WV and swear I saw these last 2 cars posted :smoke:

[fordsbyjay]

If I am off work I will definitely catch the last few stops. I went in 03 to Arlington and it was just amazing. You could walk the parking lot for ever and by the time you came back there was all new cars where the old ones left.
