Car: 1988 Firebird Formula 350 Engine: 350 Transmission: 700r4 | Re: PIttsburgh Thanks. I'm hoping to paint it this summer or over the winter. The paint on your car looked great. Whoever painted mine before I bought it did a crappy job. The font fenders were spray painted when I got it so I repainted them very quickly. They dont quite match and they dont look that great but it's better than spray paint! With any luck I'll have some new rims in a month or so. |

As far at the 350 goes, that sounds like a VERY good price. I would be curious as to what condition it was in and what was included. I remember how difficult it was to come up with some extra cash when I was that age. I'm 29 now and its not much easier! |

Car: 1988 Firebird Formula 350 Engine: 350 Transmission: 700r4 | Re: PIttsburgh That sounds like the way to go. It definitely helps when you know someone who does body work. Thats what I do for a living. I pay for my toys with $ from side jobs. Fortunately, my boss lets me use the shop at nights and on weekends. The only thing that sucks is its not actually a body shop. Its a bus garage. No paint booth and things are pretty dusty.
Any way, time for me to go home and eat dinner. I plan on being at the show friday. If any thing changes, I'll post it. |

Car: 1988 Firebird Formula 350 Engine: 350 Transmission: 700r4 | Re: PIttsburgh Since several of us are here at the same time for a change, I say who ever gets there first, try to find an area to park and save a few spots. I'll definately be there if the weater cooperates. I'm going to try and leave work early, but i cant guarantee it will happen. I shoud be there before 6. |

I plan on getting there around 4:45ish so I can save a few spots if anyone wants.
EDIT: we could meet somewhere in the area then go but that would have to happen earlier or the chances of gettins spots together are rare |

Last check on weather.com looked pretty good. I'm going to try to clean mine tonight. I'm still waiting to hear if some friends are going to make it or not. Everybodys trying to get their cars running or cleaned. |
