Right how I am working adding metal to strengthen the rear subframe... as the sheet metal subframe started to crack. Due to the new cross bar mount for the relocated shock setup.besides... the Nova needs a paint job and it doesn't have AC.. the Chevelle is just setup better for touring and cruising compared to the Nova...

I'll probably be there around the same time, maybe late Wednesday, to Thursday, then I gotta peel out, it's 1600 miles home, and I have to be home Sunday afternoon.

I keep threatening to go but I have to get off my butt. Usually my decision involves what is going on at work and we seem to like to work hard in the summer time around here. I also would not mind the cruise up the coast then head over to Mammoth for a few days.

Ghost you should definitely go at least once if you haven't been. It's like going back in time with all the hotrods EVERYWHERE around there. But they do call it "Hot" for a reason!

The 10% off was only good on the Dates that HAN was on. It was also only good at the Sparks Retail Store.

Or are you asking for someone Summit Buck or other promotional discounts. I had gotten a $20 off of a $100+ purchase it expires 8/24 so I used it already along with all of the Summit bucks that I had.

What i was talking about was in the past I had gotten a postcard with discount code on it valid even after the event. I wasn't there this year so maybe they have changed it, no worries just thought I would check as my cousin is hoping to buy a carb for his new sbc for his jeep.
