Ok guys and gals, things are all set up and ready to go, and we will be having a good old fashion Mod Party at Shrek's place on July 10th.

We will be putting headers on my C5, as well as Lee's C4, and if anyone else has something they want to do to their car, just shout out about it.

Lee and I are going to take care of food and drinks, but if anyone wants to bring a side dish, I don't think either of us would complain. And Tom has volunteered to be the grill master. :cheers:

I am not much of a beer drinker, so ya'll give me a general consensus of what is a good all around beer to get and we will run with that.

To help Lee and I plan for supply purposes, let's get a list going of who is planning on attending and if you are bringing someone with you. (Even if you said yes in the other thread, post up here to confirm)

1. zz4vetteguy - Joe
2. leec4ce - Lee
3. Shrek - Jeff
4. Munch - Steve
5. Z51 Silver Surfer - Randy
6. Randy's Old Man - Bart

You don't have to need to do a mod to come Steve, just come, hang out, partake in some grubbage, and drinkage, and if you so feel inspired, hop in and get your hands dirty. :cheers:

I'd keep it to the two installs that are planned.... it's a fairly tall order to get 2 of them done in one day.... **** happens.

I'll be there in "get dirty" clothes and ready to wrench... I don't know much about C4s but I can install C5 parts blindfolded.

What time is this getting started? I'd recommend early as that leaves time to deal w/ teh inevitable roadblock and trip to the autoparts store.

Joe you get the spare plug wires and the F-body exhaust gaskets? Did you buy new header bolts just in-case?

Also, make sure Shrek has the correct tap/die for the header bolts just in case... oh and you might want to pick-up a set of AIR tube gaskets in case yours are too shot to re-use.

Where is the Shrek Cave? NC or something like that?

Sure man... it's a nice drive down General Booth turns into Princess Anne then through the back roads to 168 and down to Shrek's
Where is the Shrek Cave? NC or something like that?
Moyock, NC... down 168 a little bit... about 45 min from my house, but a nice drive. Bring a couple of bucks for the toll.

Shrek
06-15-2010, 5:59am
Here are some basic directions to Tulls Creek road. I will PM the exact address to anyone coming down.

Take 168 south towards Nags Head to the NC border. You can avoid the $2 toll by taking the 2nd Hillcrest Pkwy exit. Then turn right onto Battlefield Blvd at the WaWa. That will eventually feed you back onto 168 at Gallbush road, just north of the border.

As you cross the state line, Border Station will be on your right, and Southland on the left. From there you have two options.

1) Continue approx 12 miles on 168 south to Tulls Creek road at the Currituck water tower. It will be the 5th traffic light not counting the one at Border Station. There will be several miles between the 3rd and 4th traffic lights. Turn left onto Tulls Creek road. A couple of miles past Moyock, you "may" notice the new Currituck water tower way back off the hwy. IGNORE IT!! You've not gone far enough!

2) If OBX traffic is heavy, you can turn left at the 2nd traffic light (not counting the one at Border Station) onto Puddin Ridge road approx 2 miles past Border Station. Landmarks there are a large white Bank of the Commonwealth on the right and Dream Restorations on the left. As soon as you turn, the road curves to the right and becomes Tulls Creek road south (nice 10 mile drive). Watch your speed through Tulls Bay Colony, it drops to 35.

Maps still show the north end of Tulls Creek at the Moyock water tower/Hardees. During construction a couple of years ago, they curved it to end at the Puddin Ridge traffic light. If you find yourself turning at the Hardees per navigation, just continue past the school and turn left onto Tulls Creek at the stop sign. DON'T SPEED THROUGH THERE!!!

Brian, is your pops gonna join us?

Well dang, I am still trying to talk my Dad into joining us...he is a hard sell. With the cars and the wrenching, and the bull chitting going on (he will talk you to death about guns) I am sure he would enjoy it.

wait, wait, wait, wait, wait....does that say AND a ZR-1?????
Yes! It's a BLK/RED 93 (#017) Belongs to a longtime friend that's moving from NY to FL and doesn't have room for it down there. So being the kind hearted person I am, I offered to store it for him. Oh yeah, I also have to pull the dash and replace a leaky heater core while it's here.

HUGE THANKS! to Tony and Ed for riding along, breaking down the lift, and packing everything on the trailer for the ride home. 865 miles round trip 3:40PM FRI-8:15PM SAT. Most of all, for enduring the agonizing pain of driving the ZR-1 back to VA!

Here's a sneak peak of our road trip. I'll have a full write-up later this week. The trip was well documented and a good run.

So ummmm, as I said before....beer, I don't drink the stuff, but never hurts to have a few cold ones in the cooler...what is a good all around beer that most people like?

Then I plan on being there about 7:03 am...LOL I figure the earlier I get there the better, maybe call an "unofficial" 9am start time. That will give the cars a few hours to cool down, and time for Lee and I do pick up some last minute things....We will just take the ZR-1 that is being boarded...:D


Randy offered to bring his Tahoe, but HOPEFULLY I will be able to talk my father into coming down and driving the Duramax so Lee and I can throw our headers in the back, and Randy will be free to drive the Vette if he wants.

Tony,

Thanks for the offer. I'll be happy to grab the pass seat or drive something down if you need me too.

The vette is officially gone as of this morning.....I'm pretty bummed about it. On the other hand, I'm looking at the big picture of moving back home and am happy about that. Besides, I'll have another or three one day.

Oh and the couple that bought the car lives in Suffolk, so some of you might be seeing it around.

She's gone. They came and got her at 11am this morning. I watched her leave:o

It's been a weird day. I hate to sound shallow, but I felt like the car was part of the family or something.

I did get my asking price, which was nice. The came Thursday and the husband and i took it for a drive. It didn't take them long to tell me they wanted it.

He said they've been looking at Corvettes for quite awhile, but didn't find anything until the saw mine. He said...man that thing is in pristine shape...which it was. I loved that car. Ok, I'm done. Was just venting and fubaring up Joe's thread again..:lolsmile:

But I might have to drive mine down Mom loves her Tahoe. I will be down next weekend for Cars and Coffee so we can figure out the Logistics of that then.

Looks like I have tomorrow off, I will try to get my lazy butt out of bed to meet at your house @ 8AM. If I am not there, don't wait for me I will catch up with you at the Shrek Man Cave.

Jeff,

Is there anything you need anyone to bring? I have a 20pk of 100% beef patty hamburgers from Costco I can bring.

Tom,

We have burgers but now that Greenman is going to make it please bring your pack just in case :hurray:

All loaded and gassed up and ready to roll from Poquoson around 8 this morning. Looks like we may have a "convoy" with Tom, Jeff, Ford, and me. Big Bill may try to hook up with us on the road as well.

Jeff: Thanks for the invite and the hospitality. I know I wasn't of much help besides handing a couple of tools to people needing them but I had a great time.

Great bunch of guys. Hope you got all finished up. That rain was like about 10 cows on a flat rock. Thought we were going to need to build an ark.

Hope you guys got the patients closed up, Team C5 made a heck of a lot of noise but looked to be in the home stretch.

Team C4 had Daddy Lee ready to go hide his eyes more than once but seemed to be past the worst of it.

Thanks to Mr and Mrs Shrek for hosting and to Lee and Joe for feeding us all!!!

It was a long, long fun day.

Lots of trial and error getting Joe's headers installed but they are done and the car actually ran when we were finished.

Hope Lee got home at a semi-reasonable hour.

I am not sure how many pics we have since we were all busy getting dirty (or cooking, Thanks Tom).

Jimmy to Tony... "Yea, I just grabbed it like this and I don't know how it broke."

Tony... "I'll have to remember that trick next time Cathy wants me to fix the pool."

Sorry I was a no show... was exhausted after vacation with my parents and needed some sleep, plus I only have 2 more weeks to get the silver car ready for the track so its down to the wire and I had to put the hours in on the car.

So far I think I'm safe, there is no hard evidence of me actually doing anything :nono: so she still thinks I'm totally :confused5:not just semi-incompetent!!!:lolsmile:
