Looks like some work, but don't over-pimp a nice ride like that. The 4th gen dash doesn't appeal to me, but the seats would work. Keep some third gen components on the interior. I found it much more to my liking vs the 4th gen I sat in....no ride, what the..?!?! haha

It looks like a great project. The rollcage is out of the ordinary for sure

There's a 4th gen white TA here for sale with a roll cage, though it was not listed in the desc. Very strange, but super cool

How long have you been on TGO? You should know him by now. That's just our "Bill". He's not like the rest of us.

Sorry for offending anyone with that, I think it relates to people who are interested in rollcaged F cars. You can't entirely confine the 10 years of the F cars w/o discussing the history of GM before and after that period. That's my way of [absurdist] thinking anyway

That's a strange thing to say! How do you get 11 from 1982 to 1992??

I don't want anyone here getting bent out of shape for sharing various stories. I may rant a bit too long but I like sharing my interest, no more, no less.

Alot of times I'll pass someone in the street talking about something I've already looked into, and for fear of butting in, I don't
The online forums offer a good resource though for sharing useful info we've picked up along the way. I just replaced my alternator with one off eBay the other day...it did what I hoped. I wasn't sure I'd even made a proper assessment of the problem, but worked in my favor

Anyway,I certainly feel I'm hijacking a thread in this manner, so, I'll quiet down for a bit. I'll be getting my top done next, as mentioned here already, and supply pics...likely after the event though
BILL
