Re: [Chevelle-List] America
The great thing about this list is the fact that members are allowed to express non-Chevelle topics. As a software developer, I belong to many lists. None of theselists willallow something even close to off-topic. The moderators will not post these messages to the list, and will often suspend you from there list as punishment. Hats off the Chevelle List owners and the 1st amendment.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Hi, im new here!
Welcome aboard Chad. It is great to see the younger generation interested in muscle cars. 5 years ago when I asked my then 15 year old Daughter what new car she wanted for her 16th birthday, she replied, 'I would rather have a 69 Chevelle than any new car available'. Two days later, we have a 69 Chevelle setting in the garage. It is setup in full race gear (no heater, lights, interior, etc.). It took her, her little sister, my wife and I a year to get it streetable and every kid in school wanted to buy it, no way! Two years later, I had to buy here a new car to get the Chevelle back.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Chevelle Love
Buying one finished can be monetarily cheaper, but by no means emotionally cheaper. I have many friends driving and bragging about their 2001-2002 Corvettes. I could also buy a Vette and cruise around and see 10 more just like it every day. I choose to continually work on my '69' and have not seen a duplicate yet.

Dave Ingersoll,Ontario My web site: http://members.tripod.com/benj30/ - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 7:30 AM Subject: [Chevelle-List] Chevelle Love Hey Guys: I'm new to the list and I'm really enjoying hearing what others are saying about their cars and their lives. Recently someone mentioned about the admiration for the guys that do all their own work to restore, etc. Well I admire those guys also but everyone can't do that kind of stuff whether because of mechanical skills or other reasons and there are many other reasons besides $$. When you work in the auto or a related business there's a network for assistance. If you're young there's probably also a network of gearheads in your crew. But all of us don't have that luxury. I had a brand new L-79 SS 4sp in 65. Then came the Army and a wife and kids and college and family. You get the picture. I usually had a 65 under a cover rusting or in the garage in later houses. I'm on my 4th 65 SS now. I continued to go to the shows as a spectator and went to and kept up on the drags. I belonged to as many as 4 clubs but was always inactive because I didn't have a d! ri! vable car. After every show, drag race and TV show, as well as all the magazines articles, etc., I would go through my mini states of depression and dream of the day I would build or own a workable 65. Well the family grew, the job got better and the wife more understanding after 25 years. I sold the rustbucket out of the garage and immediately started looking. My 2 teenagers were really excited. Over the years I had witten to Mark Meekins of the NCOA in NC and spoken to Chuck Hanson of ACES in addition to speaking to many owners at shows and reading articles. To the guys that can do it all-my hats off to you! Obviously you have the skills and love doing it. Many guys do some and professionally farm out most of it. And then there's those of who buy a completed car and work on putting our own touches and changes. Just maintaining a 37 year old weekend driver is a job. There's always something to be done or some minor mechanical change or adjustment needed. I didn'! t ! build my car. I didn't have the skills. But the guy who did 3000 miles away did and for that I admire his talent and patience. Had I built this car, and it is BUILT, it would not have been much different except for the color. Let me end by saying there are all kinds of us in this sport, hobby, lifestyle, or whatever you call this enjoyment of old cars. Kids, elders, mechanics, bodymen, doctors, lawyers, you name it. Because I didn't build my car with my own hands and sweat doesn't mean I don't Love my car and Chevelles any less than the guy who did. Anyone who feels that way is grossly mistaken! PHIL G.

What it comes down to is that we are all in the hobby for what it brings to number one - ME!Some like a modified car (dale); for some it MUST be a numbers matching 100% accurate restoration (john - tom??). For me its got to be practical (???). I do not live in your shoes, and you do not live in mine. I can/should not tell you what is right (for you) and you can/should not tell me what is right (for me). That is one of the things making this list so addicting - diversity.BUT what we all agree on is a love for the 1964 - 1972 ( plus a few folks who love the later years[kelly]) A-Body produced by the Chevrolet Division of General Motors. rick - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
