Anyone know of FGF club out this way?

you might check with Quenton at Q.Olson@PrimatechMotorsports.com he`s in Chatsworth , may know....

I don't know of any FGF clubs out here but I'd be interested if you find one, I'm in Burbank.

Anyone in So. Ca interested in starting our own "club" e-mail me and we can get something going

crail@verizon.net

I'd be interested - I'm in the San Bernardino area.

Mike

Me too
I'm in San Bernardino also

Any one going to Route 66 in San Bernardino in Sep. I will be there. Just hope I can get the Bird on the road in time, If I do it wont be complete. But I will be there with my 68 Nova. My spot is on 3rd St south side just east of Arrowhead.
Let me know if any one is going.

Wade,
I'm going to look around. If I see you and your Nova (or 'Bird) I'll say hi!

Mike

Your car not on the road either?
If your car is on the road and mine dont get done in time your welcome to take my spot. It is a lot of fun
The group I'm with got extra spots go we wont be real close together. not sure how wide the spaces will be
You can see pics of my Bird and Nova in the link in my signature in the album's "my firebird" and "my 68 nova" so you will know what they look like

You in San Bernardino? Where?

Well, it's on the road I drive her at least once a week. I guess I dont think she's ready for any kind of display yet. For sure next year. I'll send you a PM - thanks for the kind offer!

Mike

I'd be interested. I'm in Pacific Palisades and just about done restoring a red 68 matching numbers 400 convertible that now has a 467 ci Butler-built engine.

welcome to fgf bo.

Bosse, very welcome to fgf,
speak any Swedish?

Welcome to the site, nice to see more on here in SoCa.
here is the web site
http://www.route-66.org/

I'am pretty sure mine will be driveable just not complete

Hey Mike
Dont worry about how it looks, my Bird and Nova are no show cars, and if you seen what all comes down there then you would have wished you had yours down there also. Its just a lot of fun crusing and seeing all the other cars, kinda gives you an idea of what or what not you would like to do to your car

Wade, I was reading the rules on the 66 site. It says no rust or multiple colors - I guess there is always a difference between the posted rules and real life - LOL

just throw on some spray can primer to make it one color, make it a rat rod for this year

LOL - Good Idea Wade! but I think I'll wait. Once the heat has died down here I hope to get alot done.

BTW = I cant find any FGFB groups around here so I am willing to organize some type of club if you socal guys want to.

Why should all of our east coast and mid-western friends have all the fun??!?!??

Let me know if you are interested!

best
Mike

Sure love to get together, any time

I know its far across 'town', but you have Quenton in Chatsworth , and one guy up in Sta Clarita, I think it was , maybe 20 minutes NE of Chatsworth? (forgot his name now)

havn't seen them on here for a while, but that could be because I havn't been on here for awhile
How are you doing Bjorn, your daughter still out here going to school?

Doing just fine...thanks Wade...!

yep she`s there, nope shes out of school...came home for a year, now been back out there since almost 2 yrs....she and I drove her out there the day Rita evacuation took place here! not very good planning on my part...had car packed took fri off, had air ticket back 7 am mon...though we get her stuff out of storage on sat eve/sun am......LOL...since we found out Rita was going to hit we went up at 3.30 am , to "get out of town"...had planned to be in El Paso at night...we got to Fulshear! at 7 pm we were 40 miles west of where we live !!, ended up doing a detour to friends just north of there ,spent the night..got to Ft Stockton next evening...

long story..arrived in Studio City at 3 pm sunday...

but yes she lives in Valley Village ,just north of Studio City now....I havent been back out since that trip though , but wife has...

Glad to hear you made it ok. I take it she likes it out here.
You need to plan a trip out here in Sep. one year and come to our Route 66 Rendezvous. Its 4 days of fun and cruising with around 1,500 cars

thanks Wade...yeah , I might, doubt it wiull be this spt though..very busy here...But it sounds like you guys all around LA shoul be able to get a local group going...
I`m just back from Shiner ,Tx...we met up with some guys from Austin ,tx there, and one almost local guy , only 8 birds ,but still, fun trip...about 2 hr ea direction...'country roads', one of our members on this trip grew up in LA

I hope we can get something together.
I will remind you next year and see if you can make it out. If I get an extra spot I will save it for you incase you can make it. I have only seen about 4 first gen's here and hundreds of Camaros and Novas

There will be a cruise at the Farmer Boys in Loma Linda. Tomorrow Sun 9-2-07 from 4pm-7pm
Its off the I10 at Mountain View exit, go south, its at Redlands Blvd & Mountain View

A cruise at Farmer Boys in Riverside at 2901 Iowa Ave on Fri. 8-7-07. From 6pm-9pm

I will be going to both of them. Anyone else want to go?

Hey all, I have been plugging around on the PY forums for a little bit and finally registered over here. Just saw this post and I am in Santa Clarita also. If you guys end up putting something together, let me know. I have a 67 convertible 400 and it would be great to hook up with some fellow birds for something.

forgot his name now , but there IS one other guy in Sta Clarita too!

and welcome to fgf, I`m also over at PY....

Yeah, I have been a sponge lately trying to absorb as much knowledge as I can about the Firebirds as I am new to the scene and just picked up my bird about a month ago. I have been reading quite a few of your posts over on PY.

Anyway, thanks for the welcome and again, please post here if any of the So. Cal guys end up putting something together!

Welcome
I'm in San Bernardino. I don't think there are very many people on here with Firebirds in So.Ca.
There is another member on here Goldrag (Mike) he has a 69 vert and is in Redlands
The Nova site I'm on is hosting the May 31 Cruise Night at John Force's shop. Bring your Bird down. I'm going to try and have mine put together enough to take down along with my Nova. Its a very nice show, you also get to walk through his shop. Heres more info if your interested. Click on Cruise Nights in the lower left

Dont know that I will be able to make that May 31 cruise night, but the Edelbrock show you posted in the other forum on April 27th sounds intriguing... We should all register to go and put some sort of club affiliation together on the registration form as there is a spot for it. I would assume that they would put all registered club members together at the event. It might be a good event to meet at.

Are any of you guys planning on going to that show? If so, let me know and I will see about going as well. Hell, its for charity so why not, right?

-Rich

There are a few other Shows coming up, but most are out this way, not sure how far you like to drive for a show. Let me know and I will post links to them as they come up.
You need to get some pics of your Bird. So we can see.
Open a Photo bucket account (its free) if you don't have one all ready, and then post a link to it, like what I have in my sig.

Glad to see other SoCa members on here wanting to go to cruises

Definately let me know of any cruises you plan on attending, I may be game for some of them. Just depends on what going on that weekend and distance of course.

I put some pics up on Photobucket. But they are not that great as I took them with a camera phone for insurance purposes and the car isnt even clean in the pics.. lol.

Ill put some better ones up in the near future when I get a chance...

they look great to me. very nice Firebird

Rich

There is a Show coming up on May 2, 3, & 4th in Riverside. Riverside Show and Go. Its a real nice show with cruising.
I will be there. You want to come down?
http://showandgo.us/

I know it might be a ride for some of you IE people but I'm involved in a new 50's restaurant opening in Castaic and once were open were going to have a few parking lot shows. Were probably looking for some time in June or August. As it gets closer I can let you know. It's a nice ride if you don't mind the 5 freeway.

Hey Wade, I dont know that I want to go quite that far for a 3 day event as I would tend to want to travel back home after the day is over and that would be 3 days of driving (my car will never be a trailer queen). I know I could go one day, but I know me, and if I go one day, I will want to keep going back.. haha.. I still am seriously considering that Edelbrock Charity show in April...

Brian - I live in Saugus, so I am local to Castaic and would be very interested in anything you guys end up putting on. Definately keep us posted. I probably will be doing some of the "Route 66" shows this summer in Canyon Country and have been contemplating joining the local SCV classic car club since there is a lack of Firebirds roaming around to make a FGF type group.
Have you contacted them regarding the parking lot shows you are planning? I know they have a strong showing at other local shows... Here is a link to their club website:

http://www.contemporarycarclub.org/

Just come out Sat. That will be the best day, as thats when they have the open header cruise.

If my car runs ok I wouldn't mind coming out there , just make it on a Sat.
I'm on a Nova site also. So when you get all the info and date and times set let me know and I will post it on the Nova site also. A lot of them are out that way.

I may pass on the Edelbrock show and go out to Riverside for the Saturday part of this weekend then. It sounds like it will be a good time.
