HOT ROD Power Tour 2010 IA to AL

[usetaboost]

I think you can get everything from jax seat covers. I've seen a few GN style ones too that look just as nice

 

[Philthy]

Thanks on the seats....They are a custom job from a small shop in Ft. Worth....
everything was custom cut from the original seat patterns, fitted with new foam and stretched over the seats. They are really firm now. More expensive than the seat kit from Jax.....

2Tone... do the first few

I'll see what I can do. jdpolzin said the same thing. At least the first 2 or 3 might be nicer weather.

Getting close! Checked the ECM wires today and when I jiggled them the car died. Looks like a new ECM connector splice from Caspers is in order. Good thing that didn't happen on tour.

No Motor yet so no go

 

[bishir]

Getting Close!

Doesnt look like my GN will be making it this year either. Still waiting to get the rear end put together and then I'll need to order a DriveShaft so it's not happening. But, I'll be riding along with either TurboNut85 or AustinIBEW145 and doing some on the fly tuning during the trip!

I really wonder if that high dollar machine could Rrrrealy make it the WHOLE Power Tour!?! Oh wait....it can't even take 10lbs of booooost! What's the point of saying you have a 9 sec. capable corner carver when you can't even get it out of the garage!?! LOL:biggrin:

Aminga, go to this web address and it should show you the routes:

Lots of folks do just that. Find a small town on the tour and bring a lawn chair. Stop lights or 4 way stops are your best bet.

So if you guys follow their directions you'll come down US 231. I'm only a mile off of 231 South of Huntsville (Right before you get to Morgan City, AL). If anyone wants to stop for a while and stretch their legs I'll PM my number and address.


Wished I could go this year but I'm sans Motor.

 

[Philthy]

maybe the Buick faction will stop for a visit....maybe you'd have a coldie for us......!

So I wouldn't want to see you guys bend a buick later on down the tour, so the coldies will probably be Iced Tea and Cokes but I'll tell you want I'll do. Since I can't go if any of my buick brethren wants to make an unofficial tour stop in Lacey's Spring, AL. I'm cooking Ribs and Boston Butt for Memorial Day anyway. We'll reheat some smoked ribs and have an unofficial Turbobuick.com Lunch Stop.

 

[bishir]

There is a lot going on in Birmingham that day, I encourage you to come up and check it out car or not. There is an auto x event at the Barber motorsports track, the actual tour stop at Regions Field, and a cruise night at the Hooters on Cahaba Valley Rd.

 

[Turbo Rocket]

I should be on the first stop, with two other WE4's. Wish I could do the long haul.
