Default Full Size Pontiac Club get together. June 3rd. Chicago area.

Hello guys.

We're having our first get together of the year for the Full Size Pontiac Club on June 3rd. We're having it at TriPower Automotive restoration shop owned by Mike Ardito in Libertyville IL. He has a fantastic shop and is currently working on one of Arnie Beswick's cars. (Light resto/bodywork). It's a low-key and casual get-together but everyone is welcome. We're even having some grub and beverages on the house (but let us know if you're coming first so we order enough :-)

If anybody would like to attend, just drop me a note at: ponchopio@hotmail.com

Hope to see you there!

No way! That would be something if you took her down here!

It's in Libertyville which is North of the City. If you do a Mapquest of just the town, you'll get a decent visual.

Hey there Jeff. Just wanted to let you know that I've talked to a couple of our Libertyville locals about lodging. Should have something for you by the weekend.

Can't wait to see the Bonny in person!!!

C ya there Darksider! Email me at ponchopio@hotmail.com and I'll forward the "flyer" to you.

C'mon Dave, where's your sense of adventure?! Just load up yor 63 GP on a cargo plane and take a 25 hour flight so we can see your right hand drive poncho!

John,

The next time I have to go o/s with work I've scammed a trip to the US, but I think it will be to LA.
I will be over somehow.

The RHD GP is gone now, but I'm going to pick up a '64 Bonneville 2dr h/top that is LHD still this weekend. I'll get some photos over to you once I get back as its about 1450km's (almost 1000miles) away from home.

Dave

John....I'm jealous. Take a lot of pictures. I had some airline coupons for a free roundtrip. But, with the appendix just removed (the old way with a 12 inch cut and 38 staples) doctor told me to limit travels for the next 45 days or so. I was going to fly up. But he said no. I can't even drive the car for the next three weeks. It may impact the CA. POCI show too. I can't even turn any wrenches!! It's a bummer.

Pitts: if it's leaking around the pitman shaft seal, that's not too bad to replace.
