Time is set for March 7 at 1:30 pm at the Bedford Wal Mart. We will convoy down to the Roanoke Civic Center about an hour or so later. Looking forward to meeting everyone.
Justin, I got a look at your Formy, beautiful ride, hope you hold onto it.
1bird, thanks for the parts (especially the engine and rear end). I like the spoiler and I think it will make a good addition to my camaro. the old man said hello as well.
hey MJ, he ain't joking about the junkyard thing, lots of stuff to pick from if you got the time to go check it out.
I will have to meet at the car show....I can't justify the expense of driving to Bedford when I live 20 minutes from Roanoke on SML side...Blue Z28 Convertible and should have Armed Forces VET tags....See yall there
well ill hav to check out his yard sometime unfortunitly it wont be anytime soon. my mom neglacted to tell me she didnt pay on the storage unit where my camaro was staying until i could get the money for it, and guess what. i have lost her(my camaro) the unit is beening auctioned off. so time to start new, maybe ill start with a running v8 this time
let me now how it turns out.
Timothay, looks like they'll be about 20 or 30 of us going, so it lloks to be a pretty good showing for us. Looking forward to seeing all of you in March.

I bought my car from a dead guy too. All you need is a copy of the death certificate or w.e and have the signature on the car title from the dead persons next of kin.

i had a similar situtaion wit an 86 camaro i bought, the guy i bought it from didnt tranfer the title to his name when he bought it 6 yrs eariler, wtf ik, but then he washed the title in the washing machine...he said it was an acciedent. anywaz what i had to do was go to the dmv and file for a lost title. what they did was send a letter to the last known owner and if the owner doesnt respond in 30 days they give the title to the person filing for it. (the person i bought it from called the other guy and told him to ignore the letter).
the engine has a bent connecting rod on the #6 piston and half the piston shattered on it. I got enough parts to replace it. The rear end has a bit of road tar on it but it will work out fine. I put the seats in, a big change, I love them. I'm going to shave my spoiler trim off and put that spoiler you gave me on it. Hood latch is great. Everything turned out good, I just got to find the time to put it all back together. I hope that I can get that engine all put together in time but I don't think its going to happen.
I hope your kidding on the engine. But if your not and you need some parts, I am sure I have some 305 pistons and rods lying around. If you need them let me know and I will swap out bad parts for good. I alway make problems right as long as I know about them in a reasonable amount of time. I can swap out a full set of rods and pistons for the bad ones. that way you shouldnt need any machine work. Let me know! Thanks
I am also at Smith Mountain Lake. (see resto message board for my thread: low-buck father-son restoration)
If anyone can give me some tips on where to find some yards that have thirdgen parts, I'd be obliged. We have two... my son's project is an 87 bird with a 2.8 and the block is cracked. We are exploring our options. I'd like to tackle a V8 conversion, because it's a lot easier to get the motors and parts, but my son is very budget-conscious.

I know that Bedford Auto Sales has a few V6 Camaros. Vintons yards have a few firebirds and camaros, Roanoke has nothing.
theres one up behind the plant down there on the hill, the other one is hard to explain, but I've been there. Not too much to pick from, but they got a few things.
Every Saturday night, in Manassas there is a car gathering at the BURGER KING on route 28. It is near the corner of 234 and route 28. This would be a cool place for us to gather ( very large parking lot, lot's of HOT ROD's ) I would like to start a club, and have a once a month cruise ( if we had enough participants ). Contact me at jkyu5@excite.com if you think you'd be interested! I'm from Texas, living now in Manassas and I remember all the times we use to gather at the nearby SONIC on the last Saturday of every month. We could bring that type of excitement here and begin something fun. There are so many more places to cruise here in Virginia, like a Saturday morning cruise from here to Cumberland, MD ! Any ideas, drop me a line!
As far as I know, we are still good for the 7th at 1:30 in Bedford for the cruise to the car show.
Embassing thing happened to me. My rear view mirror fell off and took a chunk of the glass with it. Now I got a nice little 8 inch crack in the middle of the windshield. 1bird, start getting that front windsheild ready, I might need it sooner than I thought.
On a parts looking side of things, I am looking for an 82-84 Z28 hood for the wifes car. I'm working really hard to get it going before the car show but I think I might come up a little short.

Its a kinda long drive for me [almost 3 hours], so I need to know for sure whos going. If its just a few people, I dont feel like going.
Couple of my friends with LS1 4th gens wanna go, so I dont feel like them getting pissed if its only going to be 2 or 3 people.
I'd love to meet up... The 7th I'm at MIR drag racing my Ninja 636 though I can bring my '92 Formula anywhere within an hour of DC, but I'm starting a rebuild on her 305 this weekend so most likely I'll just be on my bike if we meet anywhere else. If you do the Manassas thing I'll come check out the cars.
Lookin forward to Saturday. 1bird, all you buddies still coming? I'll be in Bedford at 1:30 at the Wal-Mart to link up with anyone that wants to come. Can't miss my Cammie, teal hardtop w/black ground effects. See you guys and gals there. I'll probably sit around until 2:30 until I head to Roanoke for the MDA Car Show so, that will give everyone plenty of time to meet and greet with everyone.

Ill be there for sure! I fixed my cars overheating issue, it was just the thermostat.
I should be at the walmart at around 2 hopefully, but its a long drive. I know my 1 friend is coming 100% for sure with his 1999 LS1 Trans Am. You'll see me riding in the 1992 Red Firebird with gold cross lace wheels.
I haven't heard anything from 1brd about him going to the show, and I don't think he ended up calling anyone about going to it. I'll probably go though.
I'll give 1bird a call and see whats up with him. I got a few guys that don't have access to the net the word too and they are down. Looking to have 20 or so third gens running around with me
Next time I should get some cell numbers........ I drove 250 miles and my car kept crapping out on me so me and my friend dident make it to walmart til 4pm. And then we went to the car show in Roanoke and it was pretty weak and I dident see any 3rd gens there.

long story, not my fault
