Boston World Of Wheels, March 28 -30
Since I have never been there I'm going on either the 29th or the 30th. Maybe both days if the show is any good.
I got a hotel reservation checking in on the 29th at the: Seaport Hotel 1 Seaport Lane Boston, Massachusetts Anybody else going to this show? |
Im going to try and go, a guy i used to work with is competing and wants to take home first on a drag bike hes doing. He does awesome work and he placed 2nd last year.

David, the show gets worse every year. I have been going for many years and I'm not going this year. Save your money.

I'd like to bring the Z to either the Maratta Show or the World of Wheels show next year. |
My car will be there in the Town Fair Tire booth.

Your car makes a GREAT addition to the show. I'm looking forward to seeing it there! |
WOW. This year is different!
Just left the World of Wheels show. What a difference a year makes, reminds me of what it was when I was a kid. GM performance is there with 2 C7, the new SS Sedan, the SEMA hot wheels 68 Camaro and a new body Camaro under a cover (guessing Z/28). Blue Momba from Speed is there. I counted 5 sema cars from last years show there. The show wasn't even finished being set up and there was eye candy everywhere. I will be looking forward to going on Saturday to see it in full stride. |
where do you get tickets

I think they are $15.00 per ticket put I'm not 100% sure. Town Fair Tire has discount coupons if you go into one of their shops. |
I changed my mind due to some friends going to be there saturday. I'll be in there after 4 or so.
|
Ill be there tomorrow around 6
|
The show is 5x better than the maratta show. Driving around Boston is 5x worse though.
Getting in Kalstar's car was awesome. Getting out, not so much. I need to lose 20 pounds. It's a little tight in there. |
I'm on my way there right now lol ill be taking pictures

I didn't even really take pics, just soaked it in with my eyes. There comes a point where its too many cars to be walking around looking through your phone.

Thx guys for the kind words.
Dave can't wait to see your car. It sounds like a epic car. Just for the record it was not me that put the do not touch signs. I'm the type, more the marrier. |
The girls should have signs like that LOL

Good one Alex!

He got 1st place for Modified Muscle 1960 to 1969. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Wheels/927.jpg I liked the way the paint looks like it fades from red to black on this 1965 Mercury Cyclone http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Wheels/870.jpg |
I would give either of my nuts for the candy tangerine split bumper. Outstanding example of what can be done to a 2nd gen.
|
I really wasn't a fan of that 2nd gen... I didn't like what they did to the interior, the flush mount door handles look like they belong on another car, if you're gonna go with the flush modern style you have to do flush mount glass on those cars, I also didn't like the sparkly black trim on the grill and headlight bezels. Its not just that the style isn't my taste but it just didn't seem impressive. The Formula 400 and T/A were much more impressive 4th gens to me.
I also scored a super treasure hunt Hotwheels corvette at one of the tables for $1 so that made it worth it. |

Not to side track this awesome discusion but after the show I decided to throw the book at my Z. In the coming months I will ask opinons and suggestions. The car is a 94 Z. It is a mild build 383 LT1 with a supercharger. All the boltons and lots of pretty parts. ABS is gone...line locks are in, weight reduction throughout, 10 miles on the motor 1000 miles on the trans. I wanted to keep the car period correct hence the LT1. It is an auto car so it is now running a 3600 stall. I plan on going with a strange rear this summer. Thinking center exhaust but not 100% convinced yet. Currently running old school 18's all the way around. Saw some awesome 3 piece at the show but ouch... 5k though if it finishes the car, not out of the question. Installing or have already installed new shocks, lowering springs, hardpan, LCA, torque arm, solid mount engine/trans mounts. This is a nothing crazy set up, guessing 400-420 whp. I really would like to do the 4th gens some credit, I want this build to be over the top and one of the best out there. Thinking custom graphic air brush and top quality paint job. I purchased a new hood, and spoiler already. Car is currently the 94 teal that came from the factory, not sure a color change or keep it original. If sky was the limit (keeping the drivetrain the way it is) what should be included in this car if I want it among the best?

It's going to be a show car? |
Nice pictures! I can't believe that somehow I missed the rusty Chevy truck and the phone car.
|
Nice pics.
Dave, I was there on Thursday Saturday and Sunday and when the cars were leaving, there were outstanding cars that I completely missed. Not sure what it was about the split bumper, just did it for me. I thought it was the best F body there. |
