First car show for me for the season. Well, stopped by briefly, had the family who wasn't all that interested in staying.

Anyway - Saw a 67 amd a 68 bird there! I was like whoa - I hardly ever see a Firebird (first generation) at car shows around here.

You know what the oddest part was? There wasn't a single first gen Camaro when I was there! Usually shows around here are crawling with them.

I thought I was in the twilight zone for sure! Anyway - if either of the two birds that were there are members here - nice rides!

I like the color of your 68. What is it?

I stopped in at about 3:30 saw a nice 79, and a couple other nice cars. I wanted to make it, but interior was in too many pieces. Will be nice to have a 67 68 and 69! I am nearing completion! The warm weather is certainly slowing me down!

She's painted "Electric Current Red". It's a Ford color actually. It really looks natural on her as well. This picture does the color more justice...

They had some nice cars there for sure. Lot's of 70's Trans Am's when I was there. I was there from aroun 12:30 - 1:45 which included taking the kids to good old Stake and Shake for lunch. There is a show in Naperville on Wednesdays. I had heard it started last week which is odd as they tend to take place after Memorial Day. Weather permitting I'll be up there with my brothers 68 Camaro and a buddys car (either a Camaro or Chevelle, depends which he wants to take out).

Very sharp color! I am going to try to make it up there. I am not very far at all from there! I think the show did start last week. Wanted to go but ended up finishing the wifes camaro hood.
Figures was the only day the weather was nice!

Hey Gene, I like the color on your Firebird! Looks like it has some candy apple in it, but doesn't look custom, it looks like a factory color.

I hope to see at the Naperville show on Wednesday night. That's a nice cruise night there. I'll look around for a 68 Camaro to see if I can meet you. Not sure if I'll take my car there or not (69 Firebird), but I'll keep an eye out for you.

Gene,

Sounds like your in the Chicagoland area. I took a consulting contract in Mundelien years ago. My family really enjoyed it there.

Lunch at Dominics!

Good to see so many locals!

There are a couple of shows I try to visit regularly. Lombard on Saturdays, Elmhurst also puts on a great show on Wednesday nights. Plainfield used to have one, but last time I was there they were under construction. Downers Grove has some nice ones too. I'll certainly be around and I look forward to meeting everyone.

Thanks for the compliments on the color. I can't claim it was my idea, but the color certainly drew me to her when I was buying her.

Nice car and color. Looks similar to a Candy Apple which is what I plan to paint mine with

But I'm really just enjoying the phrase:

"Aurora Hooters"
