I've been around for 10+ years...posted a time or two in the SE category...and now here. In Summerville, we take my car out now and then just riding around.

What's going on as of late?

How about a cruise in for dinner in North Chuck or S'ville?

84z28BlueDevil

Any chance you are going to the F Body Beach Bash October 11 & 12? I have a bone stock 1986 WS6 TA with the optional cross-laced wheels like the ones that were later used on the GTA. The car is original with 30 K actual miles and is a good 10 footer. The car is very photogenic. Lots of people confuse the car for a GTA, but of course true F-Body fans know the difference. If you are planning to come to Myrtle Beach that weekend you can take all of the pictures you like.

Wow, car is really nice and yeah that would be perfect.
Now I had ideals of (if paint was completed) to kinda make that my debut, but would only be able to do one of the two days.

I'll def keep in touch.

ericjon262

any good junkyards around here? I'm needing to nab some parts for my truck.

Nitewulf98

78 and Royle rd in ladson/Summerville. There are 3 decent junkyards there. Specifically Don's is one of them. I am not a fan of the place on 78, but the 2 on Royle Rd are good to me.

84z28BlueDevil

good luck at dons... unless you are looking for body panels or a v6 motor.. or maybe some glass... you arent gonna find ANYTHING for a 3rd gen... i been there and done that and they have maybe 5 or 6 of em

ericjon262

for me, that's fine ATM, as I don't currently have a 3rd gen (might change that soonish)...

I need wiring harness parts, cooling fans, and a couple of other odds and ends for my '70 GMC.

So question for the local guys, need to get som3things done and was considering a trip to a professional
For some of it.


But who?

In Jersey I new a couple places to go, that I knew, "who knew 3rd gens"...

Would like to find a good overall mechanic and an exhaust shop.

Thanks

Nitewulf98

For exhaust I suggest University Tire and Muffler. If you find a good mechanic, let me know cuz I have bad luck around here, lol.

84z28BlueDevil

i got my exhaust done at morrison automotive... over on 78 next to the old merita bread store... kinda pricey but very well worth it... hes been mine and my folks mechanic since 2000

BlackTopKing

iTrader: (1)

University? That by River?

BlackTopKing

iTrader: (1)

Thanks for the info,
I'll have to call or stop in. Hoping to find a TPI guy.
Just add some conference, you know. I've had guys just booger crap up in my earlier 3rd years that created more issues and worst....they always dein it

Nitewulf98

Yep, 78 and Rivers. They did a great job on mine (fixing it) and for a great price. Friend of mine told me about them and how he did a pull up on the exhaust to show how strong it was!

ericjon262

I checked out Don's this last weekend, they had a bunch of LT1 4th gens, I didn't notice whether or not they were 6 speed or not. I saw I think three 3rd gens, all pretty rough. and I saw lots of parts I need/want for my truck. depending on payday, I may go and do some harvesting...


What's going on with your TPI car?

84z28BlueDevil

dang eric they musta cleared it out... when i was there they had 8 third gens but all were nothing but shells... unless you wanted a v6 lol they had a couple of 4ths too but again were v6s

BlackTopKing

iTrader: (1)

We need to get some one on the inside! I saw 91 on Ashley get nailed hard....thought about making an offer across the highway, lol...kinda wrong timing is imagine.

But the 4th parts are good!

I know im looking for
3rd
Column
Hood
Taillight Wing Nuts
And some misu, plug ends/vacuum lines.

4th
Seats
Door Panels
Console
Emblems

Just off my head.

ericjon262

yeah, alot of that will be kinda tough to find in nice shape in any junkyard... the wingnuts should be easy though.

84z28BlueDevil

i have the original hood from my 84... its rusted hence why i replaced it... but i got one

BlackTopKing

iTrader: (1)

Thought you had Camaro?
If its firebird or trans am hood, pm me
Thanks

ericjon262

I might have missed them, I wasn't looking for 3rd gen parts, mainly old truck parts. I'm going back this weekend for a suburban gas tank, and maybe a sending unit from a trailblazer.

84z28BlueDevil

bahaha so it is... my bad bro.. i forgot you have a t/a was a long day at work lol... so.. if we do a cruise for some dinner sometime after 5 on a saturday i could do that.. i normally get off work between 5 and 6... i'd still like to meet up and make some new friends and swap car stories

ericjon262

Anyone have a car trailer they would be willing to loan for about two weeks? I'm taking about 2 weeks off early next month, and I'd like to try and bring my Fiero up here so I can get back to work on it, and maybe drive it again.

GICATA

Wow....you don't see too many Bowling ball caps anymore!
Mine are hiding in the attic with the wheels, too afraid something will happen to them.

86WS6

iTrader: (1)

I am planning to get some reproduction bowling *****, use them, and pack up the originals. The KITT people have developed a fiberglass replica that mounts with three of the five wheel studs. They sell for around 400.00 a set, but that is better then risking the loss of the originals. I plan to replace the original tires, freshen up the brakes, and change all of the soft rubber items so we can enjoy the car a little. That is what we did to the 86, and it can be driven anywhere anytime. The cars are a lot more fun that way. Neither car will ever see over 1K miles a year, and it will probably be more like 3-400 miles annually, but that is enough to keep the cars road ready and have some fun with them.

theelite66

hey everyone, I just wanted to chime in since it has been a while since I have been on here. Work has been keeping me busy. The third gen has been coming along pretty good but I think I'm going to go a different way with the engine now so I may have a pro flo fuel injection system up for sale if any one is looking.

theelite66

I don't have mine in shape to drive and take pictures of, but I would love to see the wide body that you are doing. I have been wanting to do one myself but haven't really had the time to get out there and make one and I haven't seen any kits for our cars.

BlackTopKing
