All of our cars at the same time?!? That would be a miracle!

I've had 99% of what i needed since December of 05, just never the motivation. I figure I gotta hurry though, or I might start challenging Jeremy, Denny, and Nick for the title of longest running garage queen.

Actually planning on taking a few days off in the next few weeks to get it running.

Re: Paging-thirdgen89gta

I've been driving mine around and around all year. Gas mileage sucks but that right pedal sure is fun.

As fun as a right pedal is, a right pedal in combination with a 3rd left pedal and a stick is much more fun to me anyways.

BTW, steve, remember this photo?

Re: Paging-thirdgen89gta

yea it looks sweet as hell, which makes me want to do it more and more. Now loan me a 1st gen front clip someone...??? Also I want to make a rear roll pan this winter out of 18 guage steel, then make a fibgerglass mold. That way instead of the bumper sticking out, it would be flat against the taillights like they do on mini-trucks. I think those two would be sweet.
