WELCOME!!!
92WhiteMaro, Nice clean ride. A LS1 would be a nice addition.
knightryder86, Im kinda partial to stripes. lol
How long have you had your car? We did a car in those same colors a few years back. Right before I we did mine. Did you have it painted or did you buy it that way? It would be cool if it was the one we did. I think it had a 305 TPI with a polished tpi and a/c.

I now have about 1500 miles on the 355 and the 700r4 lost overdrive and drive. I would like to put in a 6 speed. Does anyone know someone reliable in kentucky who does these conversions. Thanks for the help.

Re: Fellow Kentucky Folk....REPORT!!
Looks like I've got a new job in Fort Knox, Kentucky...where they have no emissions tests. A welcome change from California where they get fanatical about it. So I've got and '87 GTA project car that's been is storage for 13 years. It's only got about 28,000 miles. Needs more work...but should be well worth it.

Re: Fellow Kentucky Folk....REPORT!!
I'm probably going to need a lot of help finding good shops to do some of the work, as I also have a motorcycle project and several guitar amp projects.
I contract to the ARMY; not actually IN the service. I'm a "nerd"...of the old mainframe variety.
So I'm looking for a small rural house with a large attached garage.

Re: Fellow Kentucky Folk....REPORT!!
I know! Ive been trying to reach out to other local guys, trade parts, keep in touch. Getting harder everyday. Even finding a body that isnt a rust bucket is getting hard.

Re: Fellow Kentucky Folk....REPORT!!
I moved to Glasgow from Connecticut in late 2011. moved to Cave city earlier this year. I brought some parts with me from CT, mostly interior plastics. If anyone needs some I'm open to trade for other parts or whatever.
As it is now, if I can't work something to get a tyranny in my car, I'm gonna have to sell it... and I really, really don't wanna do that.
