Hey from Ontario Canada

[THE GOON]

Hey All,

Been lurking here for quite some time but thought it was time to join.

I'll keep it short and sweet. I have a 69 Roadrunner (dubbed ANGRYBIRD) that I've been slowly taking in the Pro-Touring direction and I'm sure as most people do having a lot of after thoughts and still making changes to decisions and changes I've recently made.

The current wheel combo is 17X8 (front) and 17X9 (rear) American Racing (http://motors.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=american+racing) T70R's with Nitto NT555 P255/45ZR17 & P285/40ZR17 95W. But really wishing I'd gone with a staggered 18/19 gunmetal spoke style like a Forgeline, Budnik or Billet Specialties... I actually have someone interested in buying my wheels so might be looking for direction in how to get a decent deal on a new set. (Not sure if this forum gets preferred volume pricing from anyone??)

Car has a crate 522 from CME, new DR. Diff 489 Tru Trac with 3:55's, Wizard Cooling rad and shroud package. Currently A833 - 4 speed but I have a T56 out of an 06 Viper and everything else I need for the swap as well as a D1X Procharger and C&S Aerosol Blowthru (Still might move to EFI) getting added through the winter months.

Here's a few pics:

[Dave B]

Yessir. I live in Guelph where the dodge dealership is that everyone leaves doing burnouts! Me included hahah

No I mean at Moparfest in New Hamburg....but y there is the cruise to Guelph and the burnout competition at the Dodge dealer...I used to sell fo Nissan, should have seen the looks from the Dodge lovers when I rolled in with the chevelle...lol

[Jerems]

Welcome from Cambridge! Nice car.

[Peter Mc Mahon]

We seem to have a small group of us in about a half hour radius. We should meet, have some garage beers

[THE GOON]

Thanks Guys,

Peter I'm always up for a meet. A lot of the best car guys I know are from forums!

Raustinns, Yes I do go to New Hamburg but never have stuck around long enough to see ppl doing burnouts leaving the show itself. I assumed you were talking about Wellington Motors cruise in which is notorious for everyone lighting them up after the burnout contest!

Jerems. I'd love to see that Chevelle!!

Thanks for the warm welcome everybody

[raustinss]

I'm up for a meet too...

[THE GOON]

I'm up for a meet too...

I'm actually in Breslau now not Guelph anymore but what is central to everyone?

Ryan is there a link to your Chevelle build?

[raustinss]

Breslau.... Just down the street . Slide over the grand river bridge to fairway road, then down to the gm dealer. It's literally around the corner from my house. No the Blue Devil Chevelle build will be going up in the next 4-6 weeks.I've been finishing the garage and parts collecting

[Peter Mc Mahon]

Getting closer all the time. I am about 20 minutes south of Breslau along the grand river. I have the garage but no heat yet!

[Angelo]

Welcome from Toronto. Great looking car.

[raustinss]

I might need to refill my propane tank...clean..sweep...oh god

[THE GOON]

Thanks Angelo!

Peter & Ryan looks like we are pretty close. I have heat in the garage (part of what made this house and move to Breslau so appealing lol) So looks like I may be the host!

We'll just have to figure out the when. Let me know what works I'm always down for talking cars over a couple beers!

I'm Mike btw.

[raustinss]

Well it's a 10-15 min drive for me so whatever works for you works for me. I work in cambridge m-t 7-430,fri.5-1

[Angelo]

I'm game to meet up this spring / summer.

Hey Ryan,

My schedule varies but usually home most evenings. I think my gf is doing a bootcamp Monday and Thursday evenings so either of those would probably work really well for me. Are you on Facebook by chance?

And Angelo absolutely! as soon as the weather is nice we should plan a cruise somewhere for wings and beers. Got a long list of stuff on my car to lush through this winter but will be good to go when the snow and salt are off the roads!

[raustinss]

No no Facebook for me pm me with a email address

[Peter Mc Mahon]

Mike, I pm'd you

[THE GOON]

Got it,

Ryan and Peter you should both be getting an email from me

[raustinss]

:confused::confused:So is this officially weird ? Me to my girlfriend. "ok honey ill see you later I'm going to meet some guys I met on the Internet "lmao

[BigbBoomPete]

Its nice to see there are people in and around Guelph with a Pro-Touring interest :) Im new on here and have lived in Guelph most of my life, except for the times I didnt lol

Pete - Project "Big Bad Boat" 1968 Newport 2door

[raustinss]

Out of commission right now due to shoulder surgery but later this spring let's do this get together thing ....I've got "the good 's" number lol drop me a email or pm and we can go from there

[sheck44]

You guys are all on the wrong side of the city !!
LOL ...

Ryan, hope that shoulder heals up ok ... been there too a few years ago

Steve

[Angelo]

[email protected]
Let me know when and where gents.

[Peter Mc Mahon]

Still waiting to meet at the guy I met on the internets house who distributes medical gas. Ya, kinda weird I guess.

[65BuickGS]

Im from just north of woodstock,,would be neat to meet up with some other pro touring fans in the area!!

[Peter Mc Mahon]

Well I think we should try and settle on a place and then we can chip away at when. Any suggestions?

[Godbolt]

:confused::confused:So is this officially weird ? Me to my girlfriend. "ok honey ill see you later I'm going to meet some guys I met on the Internet "lmao

Bahaha! Tell her they provide you with things she is simply not equipped for. That ought to go down really well.

[65BuickGS]

A Saturday or sunday morning works best for me,,im gone through the week!!!
Somewhere in the kitchener/cambridge/guelph area would likely suit most!!??

[raustinss]

Well it seems that Peter would have the farthest drive in the immediate area ...not forgetting you Steve lol . Steve is on the other side of t.o , tavistock is 30 mins from Kitchener guelph is 15-20 ... breslau is well Kitchener really lol. I'm up for anywhere and yeah I'd say w.e is the best time. Does anyone want to volunteer their place or can think of a restaurant.... And a date ....maybe w.e before may 24 gives everyone time to make sure our schedules are clear

[Peter Mc Mahon]

Lets do a restaurant/bar on a weekend. How about Cambridge area? I think that is centralish to all of us. Not sure what is up there but what about Montana's over at the 401 and 24 area?

[raustinss]

Yeah there's a few just off 24 there ...around the Walmart, home depot, Canadian tire etc. Any of them work for me

[Angelo]

I'm an hour and a half away. Live in Richmond Hill. Put in some ear plugs and I should be good. Love the exhaust rumble for 20 min, tolerate it for an hour, but 1-1/2 hours .....ear plugs.

[65BuickGS]

24/401 would work well,,,like Ryan mentioned,,lots of options,,,restaurants,,coffee shops etc!!!

[Angelo]

Sounds good.

[65BuickGS]

Could do "beer town",,,its on hespler rd (hwy24),,,pretty decent pub/restaurant!

[raustinss]

Lol that's what I was thinking ,too funny so since no one has tossed a date up here .....how's may 14th at beer town in Cambridge work for everyone . It's literally just off the 401 , say maybe 1-3 kinda if time or ? .
If everyone whos interested in going could commit to the time and date and even how many people they would be coming with we could get a better idea of numbers, then I could do a reservation

[65BuickGS]

I could do that day!!

[sheck44]

Am I invited, or you 'westerners' don't like us folk from the east ?? lol ...

Steve

[raustinss]

camaro done or not steve ....youre invited as is anyone else from ontario who feels like coming out

[Peter Mc Mahon]

Sounds good to me. May the 14th be with you. Its a bit of a drive, but Mark Bovey, you got your ears on?

[65BuickGS]

Everyone good for that day??

[raustinss]

hey chris ...got your email, for some reason it went to my trash bin ...?! anyways yes that day works for me is everyone ok for 2 pm ?

[Peter Mc Mahon]

Good for me. My truck is on the road and will be there.

[Angelo]

So the bar is called "Beer Town"?
If I'm free that afternoon I'm there. May 14 at around 2 pm. Got it. Thx.

[65BuickGS]

Yep,,,,place is called beer town,,,
Its about 3 lights (Maybe 4) south of the 401,,,on hwy 24,,,on the east side of the road,,,,same Plaza as the burger king!!

[Peter Mc Mahon]

OK, so this Saturday at 2:00 at Beer Town. Who's in? [and who is bringing their ride?]

[raustinss]

I'm in Peter.... And no definitely won't have my car there lol completely stripped .

[65BuickGS]

Im getting my car out of storage on Friday night,,,plan is to be there!!!
Just checked the weather,,,,only supposed to be 9C!!!

[raustinss]

so should i call and try to get reservations under pro-touring ....or do should i just get there early and tell the hostess there are others coming under the name pro-touring...?

[65BuickGS]

How many are coming??
Im not sure how beertown gets on a Saturday afternoon,,,a reservations wouldn't be a bad idea once we know how many are showing up!!
I have my boy this weekend,,,so that's 2!!

[Peter Mc Mahon]

Looks like only 4 or 5 maybe. So yes, lets just have a pro touring table. Ryan if you are the first one there make sure we have some scenery!

[raustinss]

I'll have a buddy with me being as the srx is getting a custom ctsv brake kit lol figured why not if someone knows cars they'll think it's just a v8 srx sport then say wtf ..those rotors and calipers don't belong there .
As for the scenery the beer town in waterloo is better due to the universitys but the Cambridge on is almost always good
