that will work, i will get off work at 3 so i can make the show for a while. Are you going to have your camaro in the show?

JamesC

iTrader: (5)

Yes, I'll have it there. Hopefully, there'll be some other thirdgens--but I'm usually the only lonely.

I will join you in the spring, the GTA is going for paint over the winter, and getting the 383 refreshed also. Its not so pretty rite now, definatly not car show werthy even as a "under construction" car.

STREETDEMON

squiggy2

Sounds cool, you doing a LS1 or 5.3?

STREETDEMON

The show in Lawrence today was spectacular--wonderful weather, a ton of great cars, loads spectators and some pretty cool music. All in all, it was the best show of the season for me personally. I especially enjoyed the downtown venue. My hope is that Rev It Up will use that South Park section of Mass in the future. I was the only thirdgen, of course.

JamesC

I got to the show aroud 3:30, it was a very good show, the only thing i think that would make it better, is if they would put the cars in the park and off the street. The grass area would really set the cars off like in ottawa's car show.
I looked for ya but i never did find ya. I did get there alittle late though, this working for a living is starting to get old, need to find a job that will pay me to stay away.

For the hell of it I thought I'd chime in here, I went to College for four years in Kansas, at McPherson. You guys should hit up the annual campus car show there. Surprising what you see, and you never know who will show. We had McKeel Hagerty himself show up with his Porsche. Roger Morrison also has shown up. There are a couple of third gen owners there. I know of a 92 Heritage edition camaro, a 91 RS with a V8, a 87? RS and an 83 Z28, my 84 TA was not there I wish I had it there though. And the same guy who owned the blue 87? RS camaro had a 82 TA that was modified. Damn that thing was fast. Cars come and go naturally, but for a few years you might meet up with some fellow out of state third gen owners.

Wichita here.
been a part of the board for a bit, gathering info for working on other peoples cars, but just picked up my own 92 RS. looking forward to spending more time on here as I have a 406 swap in the works and I will be needing tips and tricks on making the swap easier.

L695speed

My friend's 82 TA, that I mentioned has a 406 in it he backed it with an automatic I can get the specs for you if you want. I believe it was just drop in and go. Bigger radiator, and he said he used a 3 inch Y pipe to single pipe exhaust. The car was bashed on here for looking ricy bec of a GT sports car style rear wing, but no denying its no doubt in hell american performance. It spun the rears for the first 100 feet that I could tell at the strip running a 13.2 best on street tires that particular night.

Glad to see another kansas person good luck on your 92 racewrench.

swapping the engine/trans. should be the easy part and will have plenty of guts to move the car around. it pushed a 2nd gen t-top trans am to some solid 10.40's with a best of 10.28. making a couple of changes though, gonna put it on e-85 to make it more street friendly, and gonna have to put a different rear end under it to get it to stick. my biggest concern is with the electronics, I am not sure what to keep and what to take out.

Next Saturday, May 5th, is the annual Lawrence swap meet, which is huge. You'll be pooped by the time you walk through. That night there's the cruise-in at Set'em Up Jacks (saw StreetDemon at the last cruise-in. NICE car).

thanks for the kind words about the car! how did the cruise-in turn out this month? we ended up being in topeka for most of the day and had a niece's bday party to attend in the evening.

JamesC

All was good. Quite a few cars, though I'd seen most of them previously. No other thirdgens unfortunately.

James, the wife and I just missed you guys in Holton this weekend. You were pulling out as we were getting there. Didn't have the car out, too hot, and my AC compressor is still sitting on the shelf!

JamesC

Nice show in Holton. And, wow, some super cars!

Don't forget that Set'em Up Jacks is coming up Saturday.

Hit the Topkea Laird Noller Ford dealership yesterday. Though the show was open to all makes and models, Fords predominated. Set'em Up Jacks that evening had a better turnout than usual. Only thirdgen, of course, at either show.

What time did you leave Jacks last night? I got there about 7ish, lots of nice rides there.

JamesC

According to my wife, we pulled out around 7:30. Sorry to have missed you. Did you bring a thirdgen?

JamesC

My wife and I talked about it, but decided to leave it at home, i been driving it around town without any exhaust at all just open headers, the local law frowns on that and have been hangin out at the end of my street speed trappin. We came down on the Harley. I bet it was you I saw leaving, I saw a Camaro turn south on Harper as we were rolling up on the stop light.

JamesC

Sounds like me. Maybe next time.

I was there also, without a Camaro. I had my 2011 Curze Eco. You parked on the other side of the Impala wagon from me. I saw you go up to register and then I guess you went in to eat.

I went in to eat a bit later and you have left when I came back out. It sounds like we missed each other by about 10 - 15 minutes.

Anyway there was a good turnout with a good variety of cars. Nice to see all of them.

I'd love to check it out, but I think we have to work OT this weekend. Besides, I don't think my Z would be up to par for that far of a drive yet....hahaha...

JamesC

iTrader: (5)

The Rev It Up show was the best that I've attended this year (and last). Far more cars this year--so many in fact that another block both north and south was opened. Beyond the north block across the street, cars were jammed in a parking lot. One west side street and a second lot on the east side of the park were also used. The weather couldn't have been better. My favorites: a Suburban, an XKE, and a Matador (which looked fresh off the showroom floor).

No other thirdgens of course. I had a lot of lookers and some took pics.

All in all a terrific day.

Im in manhattan, just registered for the boards because i picked up a running 1991 Camaro RS with 84,000 miles on it for 300 bucks, it was driven into a ditch and has some damage. But I think with some love and money it could look and run great. The guy i bought it from said he was going to scrap it, just so he could get caught up on rent. I wouldn't have been able to sleep at night if I let him do that to this classic piece of American muscle.
