DSMITH,I just had 3 days off so the next day I have off is sunday.I`m up for meeting sunday If everyone is off then.You dont have to work sunday do you D.I keep forgeting to go check out that dyno in pearl you told me about D.I`d atleast like to see what they have going on and if it`s even worth paying for a pull or two.

I'm in the Jackson area, we talked on the first page of this thread way back...I remember you saying something about living in clinton for a while then moving to vburg.

I'll be heading out of town around noon tomorrow and have to work Sunday so I'm out. Sorry. As for football, its it the only thing on tv I'll sell the tv.

hey Shady, sorry I didnt call last weekend when you sent your number. things have been busy around here. I got my black leather 4th gen seats today, still need new carpet and recover my headliner. My transmission should be in this week and maybe the car will come home finally. Since I got these 4th gen seats, my grey GTA seats will come out soon... anyone around here need a set ?

New to this 3rd gen. I live in Petal. I am slowly restoring a 90 Iroc all original as of now but needs tranny work But hey there is a car show 2nd Sat of each month here on Elvelyn Gandy parkway in Hattiesburg.Open to any type of car.

I think I will be free tomorrow evening.
pm sent with my #

Nice meeting you today Dsmith. We're going to shoot for this coming saturday somewhere in Byram...probably the Sonic. Anyone interested shoot me a PM with your phone number so I can get up with you. Friday is ok with me as well if that's preferred.

oh yeah, anyone else on here see those 3 thirdgens on craigslist? I don't need them, but I could probably use a few parts if anyone is going to buy 'em.

What parts do you need? I'm still thinking about checking them out I just hate to buy another car when I don't have a place to put it. It wouldn't be so bad if I had a couple people wanting parts.

BTW, your in on the other place we were talking about.

where is Byram exactly? can ya post a route from 55 ?

scratch that, just found it. Byram is juuuuuuuuuuust south outside of Jax. coming from Byhalia it'll be about 194 miles for me.

194 miles ain't bad! Think you can make it? It's looking like sometime Saturday around lunch is going to be the best time at this point.

I need some good tan trim. I dyed/painted all mine years ago and now it's peeling up. I'd like to find some good stuff and go with that instead of taking it all back out, sanding, and redying it.

im thinking about it but with my throw out bearing making noize im probably not this trip. its been chirping for a while and i cant seem to understand why after 3 bearings it stil squee squee squees.

Hey, looks like I'll be in my GTO unless you guys wanna come by my house. Here's what's left of my left front brake rotor.

You can't drive a GTO to a F-Body meet. You have plenty of time to get it repaired before meet time tomorrow.

So when and where yall talking about meeting up?Sonic in Byram?

Sonic in Byram is what I was told. I should be down there around 11:30

I had a good time in Byram today, it was good to see you guys out. For those who missed it, maybe next time.

Sorry I didn't get to stay long, just had a bunch to do today. I hope I didn't miss much by leaving early.

Lets do it again soon.

Why not? I plan to drive my Monte to one.

I'm debating which brake upgrade to go with...ls1 vs c4hd. full kit vs plate/hub & get the rest on my own.

I believe you're going to spend about the same either direction you go. I'd go with the newer technology (and the newer stuff looks better too).

Just picked up the two old ones today. Rough shape but the price was right. If anyone is thinking about the 87, bring a chainsaw, a trailer, four rims/tires, two friends, and a big 4wd truck.

They had pulled one up the hill, but the other one didn't have any keys to steer it so we had to bring the trailer down to it.

Kevin D.

Where were these cars at?

They were in vicksburg. Pics may still be up on jackson craigslist.

Hey Kevin I think I bought some Z28 stuff from you a few years back and we swapped it out in your driveway. If any of those have some good tan interior panels that are nice & not faded then I need 'em. I dyed mine about 10 years back and they're finally peeling. Don't really wanna go through that again.

I'm also looking hard for a 12bolt or 9" OR a 90-92 Z28/GTA posi disc rear end if you know of any.

What color tan? Both of these are tan, but the early type (doeskin?) It's a pretty light tan.

Kevin D.

As of yesterday I could use a rear hatch pulldown. Mine went into pieces after a hard launch, the plastic piece that the motor and pulldown rod bolts to broke and when all that came out the plastic guides fell out in half a dozen pieces. Must have been worn out to pop open like it did.

Mine is a light tan. I'm also looking at doing the ls1 brake upgrade if you have any parts to help out with that.

I am in need of a crossmember to put a th400 in my 90 camaro if anyone has a used one for sell or has a pattern I could use to make one get in touch with me,thanks.

Most of the swaps I've seen are for a th350. if you're keeping the torque arm you will probably just have to find a good welding shop and have something fabbed up.

Thanks Iroc but if I had something to go by I could fab it myself I want to make one before I pull the 700r out if any way possible.But if not I will use the 700r crossmember for measurements after installing 400.

Whats your plans for the 700? I can't make up my mind to go with a 700 or a T56 but the T5 has to go.

Dsmith.When you get ready to do the swap I`d love to take that t-5 off your hands.I know its probably tired behind your setup but I could get it built.It would have to be cheaper than the t-56 and a little bit more of a direct swap.

You are more than welcome to check out my transmission while its still in the car.

I'm not sure what year the 700r4 changed from 27 spline to 30 spline but if you have a 30 we can talk trade if your interested.

I dont have any plans for the 700 once I take out it slips when going into 3rd gear.The guy I got this car from said its the 3rd, 700 thats been put in here.

Mines the later design as far as the valve body goes and i`m damn near 100% sure when I bought my converter it was a 30 spline.Let me dig my paper work up and make sure.

I would have to get the 700 in my truck fixed first.I`m having to drive my car more than I like now,almost as a daily driver,cause of no 4th gear in my truck.
the 700 in my car was rebuilt just over a year ago and its developed an issue.I was told it was the forward sprag.You`d prolly want to beef it up any way for your set up.It does have corvette servo and stage 2 transgo in it now and drives perfect under normal condition just wont hold 3rd gear at heavy to WOT.Slips about 90 mph under wot when it warms up.freakin sucks and pi$$es me off.

I'm from the Tupelo area...Just seeing what's up with our 3rd gen family in our state.
