I was a little off....ChrycoPsyco

Bob · July 09, 2007, 09:27:05 AM

I finally got to meet the infamous ChrycoPsyco at Carlise. I was even fortunate enough to have a pic with him. Over the years I pictured ChrycoPsyco as a 300 pound guy, unshaven, greasy baseball hat (Git-R-Done), miss spelled tatoos on right arm, greasy t-shirt with hole at the belly button, front teeth missing, scraggly hair, untied greasy army boots, serious plumbers crack and 3 stray dogs running around. Well, I was a little off. He looks like none of the above, thank God, well he does have a hat and it appeared clean. Very nice guy. Thanks for your help over the years Chryco.
Oh yea, he has the beard.

Troy · July 09, 2007, 09:46:46 AM

That's his disguise. Don't forget the sweatshirt...

Troy

Bob · July 09, 2007, 09:49:50 AM

O yea the sweatshirt. It mus have been 96 degrees and he was cool as a cucumber.

Troy, believe it or not, you are close to what I imagined.

Chryco is one of the nicest guys on this site...................

I have had the pleasure of meeting him twice in the last couple of years.

The last time we almost did a 180 coming down the side of a mountain on a gravel road and I, AHEM, did a little power slide that ALMOST got a little out of control.

but he obviously survived our little encounter in Banff and made it to the show........

Troy · July 09, 2007, 12:07:00 PM

That picture of Bob and Chryco was probably taken approximately .261 seconds after the group photo since that's about how long it took for the place to clear out.

That picture of me...

Bob · July 09, 2007, 12:48:12 PM

Chryco looks like the "Intimidater".

Troy, well to many brats and beer.

If I stood sideways you would need a wide angle lens.

Chryco is a great guy! I had the honor of him riding with me and Frankie from OKC to the TDC Ardmore meet a few years back. We spent a good deal of time talking during the weekend at the show. His knowledge is unbelievable!

Getting beer and root beer from Frankies trunk!

I went looking for Neal on Saturday and didn't find him. I didn't even know what to look for.
So I'm hanging out by my car in the tent late on Saturday I look up and there's Troy and Neal standing there and I knew who it was

Great meeting you finally Neal! It was a great weekend.

Chryco has helped me more times than I can remember...I think he lives on top of a very tall mountain in Canada and waits for people to climb up and ask him questions

It was funny looking back on it when he rode with me to Ardmore we stopped along the way a few times as the group would stop here and there and he got out at the first stop and popped the hood on Frankie and made a few adjustments on the carb and the Dist. as he had the small allen wrench in his pocket. Any one else I would have said WTF are you doing. I let him do his magic and after a few more times he was happy. All the time we were talking going down the road he was listening to the engine. I ended up getting about 2-3mpg more on the trip home.

Carlisle was a Blast but is over Waaay too fast
Hopefully we can get back together next year @ Carlisle

firefighter3931 · July 10, 2007, 10:08:38 PM

I finally got to meet Chryco

Super nice guy and pretty darn smart when it comes to all aspects of car building.

It's too bad the show is over so fast !

Look forward to a little benchracing next year oh holy one !

Ron

Ghoste · July 10, 2007, 10:33:05 PM

Your advice has become somewhat sacred around here as well. It'd be mighty interesting to just sit back and listen to the pair of you doing that benchracing.

Ponch ® · July 11, 2007, 01:42:28 AM

I once got to see Chryco do his thing on a member's car...even got to do some wrenching (sort of) with him. It was like the "Bonnie Situation" scene in Pulp Fiction and he was the Wolf.

Old Moparz · July 11, 2007, 08:30:54 AM

I might just mail Chryco my car with some money in the glovebox to finish it, at least I know it'll get done right.

Bob · July 12, 2007, 10:59:34 AM

I surf the other Mopar sites and lo and behold what name always pops up ChrycoPsyco or Neil. I don't seem to know when he has time to come down off that mouintain and socialize. I think he has a "Following".
The Cuda-Challenger site.

Troy · July 12, 2007, 01:12:00 PM

By the way, that guy on the far right hugging Danny (69_500) is the Cuda Guy from Cuda-Challenger.com who seemed really happy about his new car. The guy in the back ordering food is 4cruzin.

Is that Charger Kid popping his head up in the back, on the left?

Troy looks like the great Jeremy McGrath.

Chryco who??

69_500 · July 13, 2007, 05:14:32 PM

So now how did I wind up on a Cuda site? Something just isn't right with that.

So I wonder which photo that was, because I think that we posed for about 3-4 different shots then.

Lostsheep · July 13, 2007, 06:30:10 PM

I know Chryco gave me a world of help when I first got my Charger a few years ago. At the time I was quite the Mopar rookie. Im not much better now, but I am better.

Chryco is a wealth of appreciated knowledge. We met with Todd and hung out at the ardmore show a few years back and I had the pleasure of spending a lot of time with both of those guys.

Thankfully things are speeding along when it comes to career, I may be able to get the charger running in a way in which I want and make the trip up north for another show and bring the wife and kid in a year or two. If I can still piece together the parts after all these years I was still intending to take Chryco up on his offer of building me a bullet-proof 833OD and converting my baby over to a manual.
