View Full Version : March 31st Cruise
79BlueSC 03-05-2007, 09:36:44 PM Alright, Here's the post for our cruise/hang out..there are no deffinate details at this moment EXCEPT the date lol...this date is a deffinate for now as this way OnerealZ will be able to cruise with us before he heads back to school the next day. So hopefully it will be a nice weekend! The details i have now are...i'd like to do some kind of cruise if possible and maybe stop to get a cheap lunch at a pub/diner/bar something like that. A BBQ is kinda out b/c it might be cool for that those will happen in May June July and Aug (one in each month i would like to try for). So everyone with ideas post them up...also everyone who is in for that day post it up also and i'll make a list of who will be there...hell worst comes to worse and we can't get a cruise...maybe we'll just meet up somewhere and eat...its all good just gotta get the camaros out and give them some exercise!!!
The temporary cruise will be from Bear Mountain Area to the Newburgh area giving good access for everyone to hop onto Rt 84 to get back home...

onerealZ 03-05-2007, 10:25:38 PM NastyZ cruise WOoOoOoOooOOOOoootTttttt
mcrrt 03-05-2007, 10:30:32 PM Eric, i'll know tomorrow if i'm going to be able to make that date. If you need a route for the cruise that would be a easy thing, have a scenic drive and then end up somewhere pre planned for lunch or what not. Just let me know how long of a cruise time wise and i will get you a nice scenic route. Mike
XxWickedz28xX 03-06-2007, 06:55:59 AM Unfortunatley im out...that weekend is my turn to work. I work every other Saturday, and that one is mine. :mad:
79BlueSC 03-06-2007, 09:57:45 AM Unfortunatley im out...that weekend is my turn to work. I work every other Saturday, and that one is mine. :mad:
Take the day off...switch shifts i know you wanna!!!
Aren't you starting the feel a little sick Bill?
1WILDZ 03-06-2007, 05:26:03 PM Eric, you aren't old enough to get into any bars/pubs.
mcrrt 03-06-2007, 05:27:57 PM Ok, i got some very good news today. I wont need any surgery on my knee, just need a few more weeks of physical therapy on my knee. With that said, i'm suppose to be working 8-4pm on the 31st, so if i can do a shift exchange i'll be able to go, if not, i wont be.
1WILDZ 03-06-2007, 07:04:27 PM Damn, there goes the 3/4
79BlueSC 03-06-2007, 07:05:01 PM Well congrats on the knee being ok..BOOOO on working...see what you can do and let us know its still about a month away so you have time..
Doug i can get into a bar/Pub to eat!!!! i wasn't talking about drinking..damn....are you gonna be able to come with us doug?
1WILDZ 03-06-2007, 07:11:38 PM I should be there, unless I get called in to work.
XxWickedz28xX 03-06-2007, 07:49:20 PM Im gonna try and trade shifts, but my shift 3pm-11pm is not really a "hot" shift...so trading usually is a pain. Im tryin'
mcrrt 03-06-2007, 08:01:08 PM I'll be working on changing shifts, but btw, what time is this going to be at anyway? If its in the late morning, Bill would still be able to go.
yoyo74 03-06-2007, 08:04:10 PM Im so in I cant see daylight! got my spoler on today and hope to paint trunk lid spoiler filler panel next week.with a white car,green trunk lid white with blue racing stripes center section and silver ends it just looks bad!!primer or bust for the cruise.just have to find a sitter for my daughter(yoyo)yes thats actually her nickname.
79BlueSC 03-06-2007, 09:25:49 PM i was going to say lets do it in the AM shoot for lunch around 12 or 1...which ever is best for everyone...Bill if we do lunch/end at/around 12 would that be good for you? is that good for everyone? Say we meet at 10-1030? then cruise till around 1130-1230 grab lunch somewhere and then the rest of the day everyone has free? Does that work for everyone? if it does ill make that the deffinate time of say 10:00 at where our meeting point will be? Good everyone?
so Yoyo your deffinatly in?!
Bill you be in with that time?
doug your in?
and Mike your know a little later?
Also...Mike is making the route up for us..and right now the plan is to meet around Bear Mountian, then Cruise to Newburg so everyone can hop right on 84 to get back home...and Bear mountain is a nice cruise down there so everyone around me we'll prob be leaving to head down there around 915ish...
mcrrt 03-07-2007, 02:10:36 PM Yoyo, which Wallkill are you from, orange/ulster? I'm going to have the cruise go thru the ulster one. Looking towards the end to go up rt 300 then go left into wallkill and make left onto rt208, go thru walden and finish around rt17k /rt 84 area. Just looking for a diner/ restaurant to go to afterwards, any suggestions?
KJZ28 03-07-2007, 05:01:42 PM I am in, but my bro is probebly going to drive the 3rd gen camaro, and I will probebly roll in a 3rd gen firebird. My 78Z has hit some snags so a couple months more seem to be in order. When you guys finally decide on a destination make sure to post it soon.
79BlueSC 03-07-2007, 05:30:24 PM KJ...everything will be posted and finalized by March 25th giving everyone a week to figure the stuff out...the important details are the date which will not change and the time which will be in the AM most likely 10am...
So we can add you and your brother to the list?
XxWickedz28xX 03-07-2007, 05:32:52 PM If we meet early enough, I might be able to swing by. Bottom line, I have to leave my house by 12:30 that day in order to get to Manhattan in time. I guess it might be possible
79BlueSC 03-07-2007, 05:42:56 PM If we meet early enough, I might be able to swing by. Bottom line, I have to leave my house by 12:30 that day in order to get to Manhattan in time. I guess it might be possible
YOU CAN DO IT!!! We'll be heading up from Bear Mountain to Newburgh...so maybe you could skip out on lunch then hop on 84 and should be home in 20min or so from Newburgh? Or you can just cut across the river at some point when we are near carmel? Come on Bill...if we start it at 10 that should be good for you right? We'll leave our area around 915 or so..meet you around 930 then meet everyone around 10!!! I know you wanna!!! lol! so that can be our temp plan unless someone is real nice and wants to switch shifts with you
79BlueSC 03-07-2007, 05:49:35 PM I'm bad with names guys and i just wanna have everyones names down ahead of time...to get the awkward whats your name stuff outta the way...So KJ i know i've met you and your brother before but what are your names again?

You're very right, and if we go upstate a little we have about 5 or 6 guys up in albany, and about 5 or 6 in L.I...so maybe one time we can do something in the middle of Albany and L.I. like a BBQ on a sat and get everyoen to come to it!
We'll see i hae so many idease right now!!!!:cool:
onerealZ 03-09-2007, 04:58:59 PM Ill see if lyle is down for this or not
XxWickedz28xX 03-09-2007, 08:19:24 PM Do I smell a road trip?
79BlueSC 03-09-2007, 09:26:37 PM Do I smell a road trip?
I'll drive from home to albany with everyone to meet up with albany people...its only an hour and half...and hell theres a hooters up here we can eat at...just parking around there might be rough...but theres a good amount of members up here!
L.I. we'll see how that goes! Thats kinda far away and dont know how to get there...but we have MikeM down there and Steve both who would be down for cruising...and we have wouldabin in white plains.
KJZ28 03-09-2007, 09:51:23 PM I am so pumped for this season, and I am even more pumped becasue there is a 99% chance I am going to be at Wyotech in October!!!!! Yes!!! I talked to the rep and sent my application in, and I am reserving a dorm soon to, YEAH!!!
SpeedAddict02 03-09-2007, 11:40:15 PM Hey Eric.. Just an update.. If I can get my car back together, I'll be in for the cruise.. It's early enough that I can do it..I will be moving that weekend, but I'll just do it afterwards.. lol
If for some reason I cant make this one though, I will definitly be at the rest of the upcoming events.. LI cruise, albany, whereever.. Hell, lets go down to Florida.. Hit Daytona with the camaros.. lol :bowtie:
79BlueSC 03-10-2007, 11:22:51 AM Congrats Kevin on doing Wyotech i'm sure you'll like it!
Joe...thats awesome that'll you'll be able to make this cruise (assuming the weather works with us of course) and if not then we all deffinatly look foward to seeing you at the other events...but i'm sure we'll see you at this one and all the others!
XxWickedz28xX 03-10-2007, 08:39:09 PM I took my z out this afternoon! I went out there and took off the other 2 torq thrust's and went out and ripped up some tires! It was fun, and well deserved.
1WILDZ 03-10-2007, 09:20:28 PM There is too much salt on the roads for me to drive the Z. It better rain real hard so that all of the salt is washed away, before the 31st
79BlueSC 03-10-2007, 11:05:15 PM There is too much salt on the roads for me to drive the Z. It better rain real hard so that all of the salt is washed away, before the 31st
Or....we all go wash our cars afetwards :) !!!!
Bill....take any pictures of the smokey burn-outs?
KJZ28 03-11-2007, 12:51:50 AM Ahhh, who worries about salt, if we BBQ we can use the salt off our cars for our hamburgers and french fries!!
MR. FBDY 03-11-2007, 12:53:13 PM There is too much salt on the roads for me to drive the Z. It better rain real hard so that all of the salt is washed away, before the 31st
^^+1 to that. No salt on may car, makes me shake thinking about it.
I don't wash my cars. They never need it. I may just come in my Jr car though to hang out and meet the faces.
79BlueSC 03-11-2007, 01:43:37 PM ^^+1 to that. No salt on may car, makes me shake thinking about it.
I don't wash my cars. They never need it. I may just come in my Jr car though to hang out and meet the faces.
Well...if my car was as nice as yours, or doug's, or Bill's, or the other Mike's i wouldnt take it out in salt either probally lol....If you wanna come in the Monte Jr. Feel free....it would be fun to hang with ya, cruise for a little bit then grab a bite to eat.
mcrrt 03-11-2007, 02:53:48 PM its beautiful out today, very tempting, but no can do, take the Camaro out , still the salt issue. Eric, whats our count for the 31st? We might need some support vehicles with cam corders to do some video on the cruise. Then put it on you-tube.
79BlueSC 03-11-2007, 05:11:52 PM Looks like i have about 7 deffinates, and then there are 3 or 4 of you that are Maybe's ... i still have you as a maybe is that gonna change?
mcrrt 03-11-2007, 07:45:41 PM It shouldnt be a problem. But if the weather looks iffy, then i might not do the change, we'll see. Let me get back to work first, then i'll have a week to get the shift exchanged.
XxWickedz28xX 03-11-2007, 10:09:21 PM Bill....take any pictures of the smokey burn-outs?
No pics, I was alone. 2 black stripes up and down the road though ;)
1WILDZ 03-11-2007, 10:13:36 PM Bill if it wasnt for guys like you, I'd be out of a job!
XxWickedz28xX 03-12-2007, 07:32:25 AM Bill if it wasnt for guys like you, I'd be out of a job!
:) Do you mean taxpayers? LOL
It was in the "industrial" part of town if that matters, and I know it dont ;)
79BlueSC 03-12-2007, 10:16:45 AM Bill if it wasnt for guys like you, I'd be out of a job!
Hey, i help also! :) lol
79BlueSC 03-12-2007, 01:51:05 PM It shouldnt be a problem. But if the weather looks iffy, then i might not do the change, we'll see. Let me get back to work first, then i'll have a week to get the shift exchanged.
The weather is gonna be beautiful...i can feel it!
mcrrt 03-12-2007, 02:09:41 PM The weather better be beautiful for the 31st, otherwise we will need rain suits for the Camaros.
79BlueSC 03-12-2007, 08:17:53 PM The weather better be beautiful for the 31st, otherwise we will need rain suits for the Camaros.
It will not rain...i know it!
1WILDZ 03-12-2007, 09:17:00 PM Eric, Me and Mike and Bill, were wondering where you're taking all of us out to lunch? We think its very kind of you to take us.
79BlueSC 03-12-2007, 09:38:05 PM Eric, Me and Mike and Bill, were wondering where you're taking all of us out to lunch? We think its very kind of you to take us.
Well...i think we're going to an Italian restraunt recomended by Ben (yoyo)
if i'm paying, the 3 of you can go to McD's. or, ill bring you guys some PB&J's
mcrrt 03-12-2007, 10:46:34 PM Maybe they got a Dollar menu at the restaurant.
79BlueSC 03-12-2007, 11:12:50 PM I'll bring some Quarters for you guys.
lilbeer 03-13-2007, 12:30:21 PM hey guys been readin up on your lunch cruise might be able to make it im 15 min from bear mountain an know the area well would be nice to get the car out even if the dash isnt finished
79BlueSC 03-13-2007, 03:30:41 PM hey guys been readin up on your lunch cruise might be able to make it im 15 min from bear mountain an know the area well would be nice to get the car out even if the dash isnt finished
Hey Man...it would deffiantly be awesome if you could make it, the more the better!!!
We're gonna meet at Bear Mountain around 10ish AM, and end around Newburgh at 12...then grab some lunch! I hope you can make it.
I'm Eric by the way.
mcrrt 03-13-2007, 04:45:03 PM Hey Man...it would deffiantly be awesome if you could make it, the more the better!!!

See Eric, you really do need those name tags, HELLO, MY NAME IS ERIC... lmaaaaaaoo. Just bustin on ya, btw i think Saturday i'm going to be doing a dry run with my daily driver of the route, that way i can make any tweeks and then post the route. :bowtie:
79BlueSC 03-13-2007, 04:57:25 PM See Eric, you really do need those name tags, HELLO, MY NAME IS ERIC... lmaaaaaaoo. Just bustin on ya, btw i think Saturday i'm going to be doing a dry run with my daily driver of the route, that way i can make any tweeks and then post the route. :bowtie:
Awesome Mike...what i was thinking was if you got the route...you could either pm it to me and or post it...and ill pront out enough copies to give out to everyone when we meet up...that way one person doesn't have to lead the whole way.
Also..if you can maybe take notes on any open parking lots we pass...and or scenic stopping points that would be able to fit 10 cars in it so we can have little breaks for photo opps.
oh yeah and check out that restraunt Ben recomended. :)
KJZ28 03-14-2007, 12:23:09 AM Are we meeting at teh common area at Bear Mountain?
79BlueSC 03-14-2007, 12:33:24 AM Are we meeting at teh common area at Bear Mountain?
Possibly...or i think we might meet somewhere right off the Bear Mountain Bridge...so its easier for us not from the area...
mcrrt 03-14-2007, 12:44:46 AM I'll be scoping the area for a good meeting spot, have no fears.
79BlueSC 03-14-2007, 01:00:03 AM I'll be scoping the area for a good meeting spot, have no fears.
Thats what scares me haha.
yoyo74 03-14-2007, 04:18:05 AM I cant believe that my food suggestion has been brought into question.I have never been so insulted in all my......whats that....yes honey....oopps never mind guys my wife just insulted me way worse.I think I might drop a tear or two.Anyway I promise the food is great and affordable gotta get a tissue:whine:
XxWickedz28xX 03-14-2007, 08:08:04 AM Eric, If I do end up coming, I will have to meet up with you somewhere along the line. I have no idea how to get to Bear Mountain. That route Roger took us last time was the best way to go. I really want to make it, but its not looking to good. :mad:
mcrrt 03-14-2007, 09:44:08 AM Bill, we have plenty of time between now and then to get you easy directions on how to get there, dont sweat the small stuff.lol The only thing i hope is the weather is nice because i postponed by a few weeks my engine work so that i could make this cruise, my Z probably wont be on the road for the month of April. Got to get ready for Carlisle.
79BlueSC 03-14-2007, 10:33:12 AM Bill....we'll figure out a way to get to Bear Mountain, i could possibly PM Roger and ask how we went that time, then Brenden and I could meet you at the same spot as last time right on 301 i think right off Taconic if i remember correctly.
Bill you are coming.
Ben ... didn't mean to insult your place to eat lol i ment check out where it is and that the parking lot is good/safe to park all our cars in.
XxWickedz28xX 03-14-2007, 10:35:53 AM Bill you are coming.
:) Im planning on it. Hopefuly the planets align enough for me to get the time to go. :whine:
79BlueSC 03-14-2007, 12:27:37 PM :) Im planning on it. Hopefuly the planets align enough for me to get the time to go. :whine:
HAHA...we did just have a lunar eclipse lol...they are getting close i can tell.
yoyo74 03-14-2007, 07:38:07 PM the parking lot is emense and unused so it is perfect.
79BlueSC 03-14-2007, 08:58:32 PM the parking lot is emense and unused so it is perfect.

It sucks driving the car in rain, but I had to. Atleast I know the wipers work :rolleyes:

mcrrt 03-15-2007, 12:31:22 AM Get the snow tires back on, we might get up to a foot of snow in the next few days, isnt that just great!.
79BlueSC 03-15-2007, 01:02:23 AM Get the snow tires back on, we might get up to a foot of snow in the next few days, isnt that just great!.

KJZ28 03-15-2007, 01:10:09 AM Yeah I heared a wintery mix, almost nothing. I have the snow tires on my fireturd still anyway.
mcrrt 03-15-2007, 10:56:01 AM Last night on the news they said up to a foot in some areas. And its mostly going to be in the northern suburbs. Lovely. maybe it will be back in the 70's next week, if we are lucky.

john70h 03-15-2007, 02:03:38 PM Hello Guys,
I'm John from Middletown, NY but I work in Fort Montgomery which is the little town just North of the Bear Mountain Bridge.
Eric noticed me on another post and pointed me over to the NY board. I own a 1970 Rally Sport project car. It's a long way from done, so if I participate It'll have to be with my current "cruiser" a 1964 Oldsmobile. It's the only hobby car I have that isn't in pieces LOL.
I share a "shop" with my brother in Highland Falls which is just up the road from Bear Mountain. The Camaro is there (although currently dormant) and my brother's 65 Cutlass convertible (also currently dormant) and our currently active project which is a 1933 Chevy coupe. And our vintage dirt Modified 1937 Chevy is squirrelled away there for the winter too.

The Camaro's been in pieces for almost 25 years. My Uncle gave it to me in 1983...I took it all apart and then got sidetracked with WAY too many other projects. I'm hoping that maybe getting involved with some of you guys will get me motivated to get going on it again.
79BlueSC 03-15-2007, 05:04:55 PM hey guys i heard a foot os snow this weekend lets hope not as for a meeting spot ansville circle might be easy for most my car is in hopewell dreaming of sunny days like me
oh by the way im bob
Hey Bob,
i will be leaving from the hopewell area to do the cruise, as well as brenden (onerealZ) and we will most likely pick up Bill (wicked) on our way down. If you'd like to come cruise with us your more than welcome...the more the better!!!
79BlueSC 03-15-2007, 05:06:33 PM Hello Guys,
I'm John from Middletown, NY but I work in Fort Montgomery which is the little town just North of the Bear Mountain Bridge.
Eric noticed me on another post and pointed me over to the NY board. I own a 1970 Rally Sport project car. It's a long way from done, so if I participate It'll have to be with my current "cruiser" a 1964 Oldsmobile. It's the only hobby car I have that isn't in pieces LOL.
I share a "shop" with my brother in Highland Falls which is just up the road from Bear Mountain. The Camaro is there (although currently dormant) and my brother's 65 Cutlass convertible (also currently dormant) and our currently active project which is a 1933 Chevy coupe. And our vintage dirt Modified 1937 Chevy is squirrelled away there for the winter too.

john...glad you posted...we'd deffinatly enjoy if you could cruise with the 64...as long as its classic muscle its welcome!!! and being a GM is a plus!
That '33 is sweeet....im deffinatly digging the styling on it!!
So pm me or post up if you think your gonna be able to come!
Also...we're always here for moral support and if you need any help wrenching on the car just give a shout!
yoyo74 03-15-2007, 05:14:55 PM hey John I am in wallkill just outside of walden and we could meet at 84 and 208 and cruise down.Let me know and I love that olds!
john70h 03-15-2007, 05:37:43 PM I just hope you guys don't leave me in the dust! The Olds is 6 cylinder with a non-synchro 3 on the tree. It's just about fast enough....downhill in a wind storm!
Someday I'll swap in a V-8 and a 4 speed (already have the parts), but not until the Camaro is on the road.
For a lot of build pictures of the 1933 Chevy look here: http://www.vintagerods.ca/showthread.php?t=55

I would LIKE to, but I'm thrashing to get my oval track race car ready for it's first run on Friday April 6th. I will probably need that Saturday to get things in order, but maybe I could meet you guys in Bear Mountain since my shop is only five minutes away.
If you guys want to see a depressing sight you could stop by my shop and see the Camaro resting quietly under a pile of accumulated "stuff".
I'll see what happens, just don't bank on me making it.

mcrrt 03-18-2007, 08:49:46 PM Eric, I made the dry run today. Excellent cruise. I'll pm you with all the details once i put it to the computer. Its 39 miles long, i was going a lil, hehehe, over the speed limit and it took me 55 minutes. I'm figuring that the course will be roughly 60- 65 minutes, but then add photo op times at a few spots, with that included it will be close to another hour , for a close to a 2 hour total. Then arrive between 1145 - 1200 for lunch at Carmelas Restaurant/Pizzeria in Montgomery. Hopefully the weather will be good and we get some rain between now and then to get all the road salt off so that everyone will come out. Mike

mcrrt 03-19-2007, 11:13:33 PM Its a great response and its only March, by far now where near cruising season in Ny State. We got about 3 or 4 inches of more snow here, and that damn salter truck came thru a few more times.

Rain is good, as long as it isnt freezing rain, then we are worse off, and back in same boat as getting more salt on the roads.
79BlueSC 03-21-2007, 12:19:06 AM I'm doing the rain dance right now as we speak while i'm studying for chemistry!!!
We will be crusing in T Minus 250 hours and 40 minutes and 54 seconds.
KJZ28 03-21-2007, 06:43:50 PM I hope you guys have fun, and I also hope it is nice............I on the other hand am having some car troubles. My brother's IROC-Z has some serious ignition problems.....and the T/A is leaking radiator fluid!!! It is good to drive only a few miles here and there and then I have to top it off. I dont think it will make Bear Mountain, I am afraid the pump shaft seal will fail and the weep hole will be leaking like crazy. I would replace the water pump this weekend but unfoortuantely I have no access to my garage, being there is my stationary '78Z in one, and the other has 2 tons of rock in front of it for the retaining wall being built in front of my house!!! AHAHHGAHAGHAGHAG!!!
mcrrt 03-21-2007, 09:43:35 PM How many are we down to Eric??
79BlueSC 03-21-2007, 09:57:49 PM Well i guess Kevin and his brother are out so let me check the count...
79BlueSC 03-21-2007, 09:59:40 PM We have five deffinates with Me, Brenden, Doug, Ben and yourself Mike...
and then we have four Maybes (most of them sound like yes though)
Joe, Bill, John and Bob
And then 2 other maybes that i havn't heard from in a while with Mike (FBDY) and the other Ben.
79BlueSC 03-21-2007, 11:53:39 PM Weather is showing 50's for the next 10 days...and a couple days with some rain...that snow will be bye bye for the cruise...tomorrow we'll know the weather for the 31st...i can't wait to see what its gonna say...b/c its always right what it says 10 days away!!!

Thats funny, they cant predict the weather for the day after, let alone 10 days,lmao. I will give the weather forcast for the 31st before it even comes out, here it goes: partly cloudy, 20% chance of rain, temperature high of 48 and low of 34. :confused:
mcrrt 03-22-2007, 12:44:53 AM Maybe if it is good weather we can get some extra guys to go on the cruise. It would be nice if we had 8-10 Camaros.
john70h 03-22-2007, 01:18:15 AM Count me as one of your "maybe might be guys".
I definately would like to at least meet you guys, so when I run into you at a show or cruise I'll recognize you.
Unfortunately I won't be bolstering the Camaro count though.

If I free up the time, I'd be driving the Oldsmobile. I've been good about NOT tearing into that one....until I have the Camaro ready to go.

XxWickedz28xX 03-23-2007, 08:52:59 PM ALOT, if not all the snow is gone by me. Now, just get rid of the salt on the roads and we're ok!
mcrrt 03-24-2007, 02:07:26 AM I got my shift exchanged, the weather better cooperate.
79BlueSC 03-24-2007, 12:29:11 PM SWEET Mike...i'm sure the weather will work out.
Most of the snow is gone up here also Bill...with the snow melting across the roads...should get rid alot of the salt.
mcrrt 03-24-2007, 01:03:33 PM I see its suppose to rain on wednesday i think it was, thats good. And the weather is going to be in the 60's here next week.
1WILDZ 03-24-2007, 09:52:18 PM Its raining now which is good. Eric let me know when you want to that head gasket, piece of cake. Ill get the beer for my wax party Mike, and choclate milk for Eric.

HAHA .. Diet Mountain Dew ... honestly if you want to help me with the head gasket help is always welcome...i've done them before at work but on SAABs, ford trucks and newer cars...never on an old Chevy V8. The part that worries me the most is adjusting the rockers and such when re assembling. I'll let everyone know when im doing it and it can be a party of who ever wants to help!!!
yoyo74 03-25-2007, 12:07:06 AM I gotta do a cam and head swap.Dont think itll be done for the cruise but all elves are welcome.

So don't start it until the cruise! You are still planning on comming right?
mcrrt 03-25-2007, 01:58:51 AM This rain is really good, get rid of all that damn salt. Doug, if you worked overtime this week, then i'll take Corona lights, if you didnt work ot, then i guess i'll settle for coors lights.lmao Any forecast for next sat out there yet??
yoyo74 03-25-2007, 11:09:34 AM I will definitely
be there for the cruise.Did I hear corona light?If there is corona Im there!
calling for showers on sat,worst case scenario,maybe we should put together a plan b.If the weather is undesireable we could just meet somewhere for lunch.It would be nice to get out anyhow.
XxWickedz28xX 03-25-2007, 11:25:59 AM They are saying rain for this Saturday. Chance is like 30%, hi near 58. Uh oh
79BlueSC 03-25-2007, 12:22:55 PM The forcast for Sat has been changing between rain and no rain...right now its 30% chance...not bad... we'll see what it looks like when it gets closer and they get more possative. I'm sure it'll work out...!!!
mcrrt 03-25-2007, 03:04:42 PM RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not good. As it gets near, if its gonna rain, lets set up a rain date just in case.
79BlueSC 03-25-2007, 05:10:01 PM RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not good. As it gets near, if its gonna rain, lets set up a rain date just in case.
Sounds good...maybe others could give input...would the next saturday be a good rain date?
XxWickedz28xX 03-25-2007, 08:21:25 PM For me it would :) Im not scheduled to work that day, but like anything else, that too can change. Thats just me though...anyone else?
79BlueSC 03-25-2007, 09:21:30 PM We're not changing it yet...this is a just incase kinda thing.
But Bill you can still squeeze in this Sat right? just might not be able to stay for lunch?
XxWickedz28xX 03-25-2007, 09:47:14 PM Eric, I wont know til this Tuesday. I dont think im gonna be able to make it at all. :mad: It looks like I have some extra OT coming my way. I wasnt able to trade off my shift...too many guys on vacation already!
79BlueSC 03-25-2007, 10:45:20 PM Eric, I wont know til this Tuesday. I dont think im gonna be able to make it at all. :mad: It looks like I have some extra OT coming my way. I wasnt able to trade off my shift...too many guys on vacation already!
That sucks Bill ... I was hoping 10 would be early enough then you just might not be able to eat lunch with us but you'd atleast be able to cruise...
BigBlock73 03-26-2007, 08:48:15 AM Won't be able to make this cruise.
Having a new garage floor poured this week and will have to deal with putting everything back
New floor is the first step in doing the drive train swap
Looking forward to the next cruise and maybe BBQ
Hope you guys won't mind if I have to cruise with the Cavaliar ( at least it's a Chevy )
Tom
79BlueSC 03-26-2007, 12:12:20 PM Hey man! Sorry you can't make this one but there will deffinatly be more to come. You can basically cruise with us in anything that has wheels...we're not picky but GM's are always better!
Good luck with the Garage and the driveway swap (Hope they do the floor right this time)
79BlueSC 03-26-2007, 01:16:58 PM SATURDAY!! MOSTLY CLOUDY 49 10% chance of rain ...

"Rain, Rain, go away come again another day"
1WILDZ 03-27-2007, 09:11:45 PM Today would have been a great day for a cruise.Whats the final route for the cruise?
79BlueSC 03-27-2007, 09:13:58 PM So whats the final route for the cruise?

79BlueSC 03-27-2007, 09:17:10 PM The quick version..is its gonna be 9w, to 218, to 9W, to rt 32, to rt 300, to rt 208, to rt 17K
i have better directions than that...which i'll print out copies of for everyone and hand out on cruise day :)
XxWickedz28xX 03-27-2007, 10:20:31 PM Well guys, Im officially out. I was asked to work a double on Saturday...7am til 11pm. Easy money though, just babysitting some plumbers pretty much. Gottta shut a valve at 7am, and reopen that same valve when the are done. Ill be sure to make the next cruise. Plus my ride is in no condition to be at a cruise. I still havent painted the hood yet :mad:

79BlueSC 03-27-2007, 11:20:41 PM Yeah...prettiness is over rated...have you seen my car Bill?
i live by that moto lol
mcrrt 03-28-2007, 12:12:00 AM I pulled my Z out of the garage today, washed it, wiped down the interior. All ready to go.
1WILDZ 03-28-2007, 06:49:16 PM Tommorow I'm going to pull the Z out of the garage and put a quart or two of tranny fluid in it. Its been leaking for a while. Heck, I might just wax the damn thing!
XxWickedz28xX 03-28-2007, 09:40:35 PM Things just got worse for me. I just came home from the doctors and they told me that I need emergency surgeory on my right bicep muscle. The tear is worse they they thought, it tore completely away from the bone. I need to have it re-attached....that means a cast for 6 weeks, and a recoup time of up to 6 months!! This blows!
SpeedAddict02 03-28-2007, 09:43:24 PM wow. that sux bigtime.. Just make sure you can use the other hand to drive.. So ya got time for the cruise now?
lol nbl
1WILDZ 03-28-2007, 09:45:15 PM I think a cruise to Bill's house is in order, well have to change the cruise route to go by Bill's to keep the spirits up!
79BlueSC 03-28-2007, 09:46:43 PM Things just got worse for me. I just came home from the doctors and they told me that I need emergency surgeory on my right bicep muscle.

Bill that deffiantly does suck ass man!!!
If you're gonna be home maybe after the cruise a couple of us can swing by your place just to get the neighbors happy at ya!
XxWickedz28xX 03-28-2007, 10:01:42 PM Thanks guys...this does suck. As of right now im still working the double this saturday. I gotta make as much OT now as possible before the surgeory! But if for some reason they dont let me work...I'll be there with you guys.
79BlueSC 03-28-2007, 10:08:04 PM Keep us upto date with everything Bill !
XxWickedz28xX 03-28-2007, 10:09:29 PM you got it! I gotta find things to keep me busy now. Maybe I will finally go ahead and get me that PSP ive been wanting.
1WILDZ 03-29-2007, 09:20:38 PM Just got back from working on the Z. Took it out for a ride aired it out a bit. I had to add 1 1/2 qts of tranny fluid, it was leaking for a year or so. Hopefully I put in enough! Didn't get to waxing it, but I did hit with a quick detail spray. Looks good enough. See you guys Saturday!
mcrrt 03-29-2007, 10:44:56 PM I cant wait until saturday, its gonna be alot of fun, i hope everyone brings their camera's. BTW, who's a definate for saturday now? Also, Doug , can you get to the meeting point on the early side? I'm going to try to be there by 0940-0945, just in case anyone goes early they wont know the exact meeting spot, a lil confusing. See everyone on saturday. Mike
PS- Eric, i hope you got the name tags, rotflmao
79BlueSC 03-29-2007, 10:50:37 PM Mike, Right now we have 5 deffinates ... you, doug, brenden, me, and Ben (yoyo) .
I have a couple guys that said they would tell me on Friday if they will be coming .. the amount of guys shrunk form the beginning but still 5 is good for a first cruise. It's still early
I also drove the camaro for the first tiem today for about half hour, after dicking with it for 3 ... bought a new min starter, wrong starter it does fit...AWESOME, so now i go to put the new one in, and realizes the battery cable on that end is donw looks like shit and has the rubber pulling away, so i get a new one. Then i hook up the old stater to put back in, and one of the wires breaks, so now i gotta splice and then put it back, 3 hours later its done. But nothing has changed no new starter nothing ... kinda pissed me off.
mcrrt 03-29-2007, 10:57:44 PM That sounds like the kind of luck i usually have when i work on some projects, nothing goes right. 5 is good, but hopefully we will pick up a few more. TTT the cruise in the BS section, make sure everyone is reminded.
yoyo74 03-30-2007, 02:23:25 PM Im still in!
yoyo74 03-30-2007, 07:00:17 PM add one more ,70camaronut is meeting up with me in the morning!yeehaa
mcrrt 03-30-2007, 07:55:25 PM Thats awesome, so we have 6 definates, anyone else, it would be great if we could get 10 together. Come and join us, i'm talking to the maybe's........
john70h 03-30-2007, 09:03:16 PM I got my Oldsmobile out....took it around the block. I'm good to go!
Exactly where and when are you guys meeting?
mcrrt 03-30-2007, 09:14:05 PM WE are meeting in the 20 minute parking opposite of the Park Police station at bear mountain. 10 am. Myself and Doug(1WILDZ) will be there early so no one misses us. For those who are familiar with Bear Mountain, we are meeting just opposite of where we would enter for the car show. So take Rt 9w south from the Bear Mountain Circle, then bare right, following the signs for bear mountain state park, go past the Inn, we will be further up on the left side. For anyone who isnt sure how to get to the starting point, pm me and i will give you my cell number to either explain or to help out if anyone gets lost.
yoyo74 03-30-2007, 09:55:04 PM got one more coming with me.He is driving a custom formula...
mcrrt 03-30-2007, 09:59:55 PM Ben, Your a great recruiter, keep up the good work. See you in the morning. Mike
mcrrt 03-30-2007, 10:01:04 PM I think that puts us up to 8 cars at least.
yoyo74 03-30-2007, 11:54:06 PM UPDATE!!! might have a hot grand national ok hes at the end but at least its GM
79BlueSC 03-31-2007, 03:00:06 AM AWESOME guys 9 cars ... should be SWEET ... i also just remembered my camera is at school...SHIT ... oh well i hope we'll have a few guys with camera's.
See ya in about 8 hours!
mcrrt 03-31-2007, 08:21:59 AM Eric, you should be sleeping, resting up for cruise,lol. See everyone in a few hours. I'm bringing my camera.
XxWickedz28xX 03-31-2007, 03:56:52 PM Looks like you guys had a good day for the cruise! There was a last minute chance that I could have made it, but it never panned out :( Anyway, I hope you guys took pics!
1WILDZ 03-31-2007, 04:26:43 PM Had a blast today. Wish we had a little more time to B.S. Heres a few pics of todays event:

mcrrt 04-01-2007, 01:50:09 AM What a great day we had, weather was great, the cruise was great and we got to hang out with a great bunch of guys. And the funniest moment, seeing the brick building "smokin".lmao. And no, yoyo's camaro wasnt making the smoke, hahahha. Cant wait for the next cruise, who's gonna make up the next cruise? Any takers???
john70h 04-01-2007, 02:23:16 AM Hi guys,
Just wanted to say thanks to the guys who organized Saturday's meet. I really enjoyed the cruise and getting to meet some of the members of this board.
Although I cruised my Oldsmobile, I was wishing my Camaro were road worthy! Being around you guys and your cars is the kind of motivation I need to get that project jump started again. I can't wait until some of the spring swap meets to try to hunt down a few more parts.
Hopefully I'll be seeing you guys at the shows and cruises this season.
And...gheeesh...I hope those guys can get those smoking problems fixed!
John
yoyo74 04-01-2007, 08:01:52 AM jeesh,I dont feel the love!Had a great time.anybody doing anything lcal just give me a ring.hope to be pulling the motor next week and fix the prob.Ishould only have it out a week or so so hope too cruise!Thanks again guys....
XxWickedz28xX 04-01-2007, 11:22:20 AM Sounds like you guys had a good time! I really hope I can make some of the cruises this summer. Its gonna suck to drive my 79z with a freakin cast on my arm, but ya goota do what ya gotta do.
Rat Race 04-01-2007, 12:59:59 PM Fellas I cant believe i missed you yesterday- I did leave late due to a few things but shot up there as fast as i could in my 71, and even asked around at the parking lot did anyone see a bunch of cars like this- even the girl in the booth said no.
Of course I had no idea where you would cruise to, so I parked next to the Bear Mountain Iand did the whole hiking thing. Stayed till about 6:00 Got there around 1 or a little later. Saw in the pic you were parked dwon by the Hudson, didnt go down there other than the walking path to the old dock
Really sorry i missed you, was looking foward to meeting you guys.
Can always do it again, thought you might have cruised by 7 Lakes Drive so went home that way- havent been there since had the family there when they were kids- 15 years ago maybe? EXCELLENT road - could use a new paving but beauty is un matched
Car not running well- think my fuel pumps on the blitz... weird sounds from it thought at first it was just crap in the carb needing to be blown out but then i heard the like grinding noises coming from the pump in the rear- car was just running rough i guess fuel delievery was inconsistant- Gonna take it apart and look at it but its an old one from Maine so prolly just gonna order a new one.
Dudes looked like you had fun. Actually, I was trying to listen in the mountains for echos of small and big blocks, you could hear every Harley, but the only thing i saw was a group of Porsches to match the marbles in a coffe can sound.
mcrrt 04-01-2007, 06:37:57 PM I can only imagine the echo of the engines when we were driving up rt 218, surprised we didnt make a rock slide,lol. I'll be downloading my pics tonight, i'll send them to whoever wants some pics of the cruise.
SpeedAddict02 04-01-2007, 10:08:31 PM I would like the pics.. send them to: joenmeeka@hotmail.com
Guys, I really wish I could have made it.. But I will definitly be in for the next.. Its a good thing I didnt go though.. Found out I had a bad HEI module.. Woulda sucked being stranded b/c of it.. But got that fixed, dialed in the timing, got the car running and had the wheel alignment done.. Also found out my brake lines are leaking in 2 spots.. So i gotta fix that and bleed them again.. And my tranny is spitting out fluid at the dipstick.. So I gotta fix that.. And she needs an inspection.. They wouldnt do it b/c my reverse lights dont work or the emergency/parking brake..
Hopefully next weekend all the BS will be done.. And I'll be terrorizing the streets of nyc.. lol
yoyo74 04-01-2007, 10:13:48 PM It was great for me,although by the time I got home it was missing along with the smoke..did a comprssion check and it aint good boys.Motors coming out this week.I cant waitto go again
By the way now that the cruise is over we wont hear from the kid!what the he!!...Post up or else...
ben arena 04-01-2007, 10:17:01 PM Looks like you guys had a good time I am very sorry I had to miss it- I didn't even get to go away-had some problems in the house that had to be tended to. Next time I will make it. Glad you all had fun and had good weather to do it in. See Ya Benny:
1WILDZ 04-01-2007, 11:44:25 PM It was a great time indeed. It was nice to put a face to the screen names. Hope to meet even more of you guys the next time around. Stay safe to all Doug
onerealZ 04-02-2007, 12:52:45 AM I also had a blast, it was nice to meet everyone who i havent before, and good to see people from previous meets, im back at school so idk if ill be able to make the next meet depending on when it is, and heres the only pic worth posting that i took
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f286/onerealZ/79%20Z28/DSC00125.jpg
XxWickedz28xX 04-02-2007, 08:00:40 AM Cool pic Brendan!!!
mcrrt 04-02-2007, 09:40:47 AM Very cool pic, and btw Brendan, your Z sounded and looked very healthy when taking off down 17k, i was impressed. Laid rubber first , second and third, you would have liked the way it looked from my standpoint. Maybe we can borrow one of those "discovery channel camera crews for our next cruise.lol.
Speed, as soon as i can, i will email the pics to you.
79BlueSC 04-02-2007, 06:42:45 PM Hey guys,
i'm in RI right now so i just got acess to the internet at Panara bread. The cruise was AMAZING it was awesome hanging out with everyone and fun BSin. If i didn't have to go to RI right after i would have stayed longer. The pics look nice, i can't wait to see Mike's pics.
Ben, i had to show you up with the burn out what can i say thats what kids do!
The next event will be in the planning stages and everyone thank Mike for an awesome root. And Ben for an awesome place to eat.
1WILDZ 04-02-2007, 09:25:55 PM I'm ready for the next one, I'm sorry I didnt take more pics when we were down by the river. Too busy talkin. Start planning the next route mike.
mcrrt 04-02-2007, 10:01:39 PM I'm ready for the next one, I'm sorry I didnt take more pics when we were down by the river. Too busy talkin. Start planning the next route mike.
Hey, its someone else's turn, but i'll take that as a compliment. Do we have any requests for certain areas of the Hudson Valley?? Take some requests and then do the cruise route homework, i even did a dry run for mileage and time when i was planning the route.
yoyo74 04-02-2007, 10:53:35 PM I think your time frame got screwed by us women bsin.I had to tighten my belt from starvation....Next time Im bringign snacks!
onerealZ 04-02-2007, 10:58:37 PM hey mike, thanks, and i missed 2nd when i took out of the parking lot, im to used to driving my damn cavalier haha, but i need to fix my engine smoking problem, but other than that im deff pumped for the next cruise and seems like we could easily have another 3 cars there just from the people who we knew missed it
yoyo74 04-02-2007, 11:02:41 PM boo frikin hoo you shoulda seen the smoke outta my car by the time i got home....Still love your car realz!
onerealZ 04-02-2007, 11:29:10 PM thanks ben, but looks like ur gonna be fixing ur problem pretty soon
