I'm not trying to hijack any threads here, but I want to let you all know that there will be a car show held on by the Shelby Twp. Lions Club on October 3rd. Registration starts at 8am, and ends 11:30 am. The car show will go onto about 7. I will be there, and I am really hoping some local 3rd gens would like to join me.

try this guy ladu3793@kettering.edu his names Jeff, and he's been trying to pawn some TPI fuel rails off to me since we started school in June.

He's an RA and the term is just ending, so he is probably very busy, and may not have time to write you back for a week or so. Let me know how it goes.

I only heard about that crash as well. Yeah, I heard there was a firebird, don't know how new. My wife's uncle thought thety were high school kids racing. I must have JUST slipped through before they got there. My wife went through a half hour later and saw traffic backed up.

"Fox Hills" sounds familiar but I can't place it. I was in the Bloomfield Orchards sub at the northeast corner of the intersection.

Sadly, my car is not on the road. I have a white/red/primer/silver/dirt- colored 1988 SC I partially dismantled and have not driven in 5 years. had to have it towed when I moved 2 months ago. Just a few more personal life things (baby #2 in 2 weeks) and hopefully i'll get back to work on it.

a gm engineer who was on the project back in the day caught word of it, made me an offer and i took it....i just enjoy the build up anyhow and the work i had planned over the winter would have basically tore the car apart. figured might as well start over then take a good car and destroy it. the next one will not disappoint...

Good for you.

Why not build two cars instead of building one, tearing it down and doin' it again.



the next one will not disappoint...
...was there a doubt?
