Well, a lot of people have been posting about possible spring meetings so I figured I'd better let everybody know what's up with mine. As some of you know I have a big Thirdgen party every Memorial Day weekend. This year it is on Saturday, May 24th. It will probably start around 1:00. I'm in Crete, which is about 40 minutes south of Chicago. I have over six and a half acre so I've got room for plenty of cars. I'll have a bonfire along with a keg and plenty of food. Also, I have one of the largest collections of Thirdgen parts anywhere so I can probably hook you up with any parts you need while you're here. Keep an eye on the Chicago suburb/NW Indiana board for updates. I'll set up a couple posts on that board in April so people can RSVP and request parts. As always, if you need any parts before the party let me know. I always have TONS of stuff available with more parts cars coming in all the time.

 

PARTY!!!!!!


no rain dances this year though denny.

 

You're not kidding...last year the weather really messed me up. I'd like to have around 30 or 40 cars this year. Or course, you never know...I might have that many of my own.

 

you picking those 2 cars up yet? did you guys figure out a date? i need to pick up a 88-up trans since the torque converter i want to run won't work with my 85 trans. I think john has another 88 car that i might swap trans with him for, but i'm not sure if that's going to happen. There's nothing wrong with that 85 trans, just the wrong spline number for the torque converter.

 

I'm picking them up Saturday morning. Then I've got another one coming on Monday. Happy Happy!!!

 

i would have to say that u r the third gen king of cars. they are all third gens. geez. that is pertty cool

 

If you think that is cool, you should see my basement. Actually, it should be totally finished in a week or two. I'll be posting pictures as soon as everything gets reorganized.

 

Gonna need directions from Park Forest. Maybe we can hook up at the first cruise on Main this year. I've got an 82 Pace---you'll hear me coming. I think I've seen you plate around town.

 

Who wants to get a caravan going?

 

CARAVAN yay....maybe this year it'll be a BIG turn out....

 

If you did it had to be a long time ago. My car's only been on the road once in the past seven years.

Sent you an email, just wondering on some questions and
parts. Thanks.
Nice list of cars.:hail:

 

Hey guys,

I live west of Aurora. I'm planning on attending the party on 5/24 and would be interested in joining the caravan to the party. When the date gets closer, let me know the details of where to meet at.

 

LFN at U

I have a '91 RS with the original Delco am/Fm Cassette radio. The tape no longer works and I was wondering if you had one to sell. I'm trying to keep my car as original as possible so I don't want to buy an aftermarket.

Let me know.

 

Here's the caravan post:

https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=163386

We're still trying to figure something out.

 

I got your e-mail but when I responded it came back as "undeliverable". I sent you a PM through Thirdgen so, hopefully, you get that.

 

I do have one but I'm not sure if the cassette works. I'll check it out and get back to you.

 

LFN at U

Great, thanks for checking it out.

Craig (aka Deck man)

 

Hey, I just wanted to let you know I checked that stereo and the tape deck is messed up. It's just about impossible to find one of those that works. It seems like they always just skip back and forth between forward and reverse.

 

LFN AT U

Thanks for checking it out for me. I'll keep searching!

 

Hey deck man, i have a original out of my 91 that the tape deck works, but you know how the GM factory radios tend to act funny occasionally and lose reception if you hit a bump well mine does that

i'm located north of st. louis, i'm not too sure where your at but if your interested PM me

EDIT: I think it's the the 2nd option tape deck as it has the search feature on the tape player

 

LFN AT U

Hey man are you the guy with the add in the trading times for 82 to 92 parts in the auto parts for sale section. Count me in for the bash, and if you have early rear disc parts for a nine bolt I'd be interested.

Bussman

 

Hey LFN at U,

Do you have any floor mats? Mine are shot. I'm looking for at least the front mats and the rears if the price is good for a grey interior.

Let me know,

Thanks!

 

Yep, that's me in the Tradin'. I pretty much have an ad running non-stop from spring through fall. I think I have one set of rear calipers that aren't on a rearend. I'm not sure what condition they're in but I know they worked when I took them off the car. As far as the floor mats go, I just sold the only set of gray mats I had. I very rarely pick up anything with good floor mats. You're better off just buying them new.

 

PARTY PARTY PARTY

ok now i got that out of my system....back to modding the camaro and putting it back together for denny's

 

Yo Joliet,IL here. you can count me in dude. E-mail me some more info. MGS8509@attbi.com

 

Does one have to have a thirdgen to attend??

 

nope last year i had to bring my SS truck since my camaro was acting up that morning. It was weird having a truck there instead of a camaro/trans am....but i don't think anyone noticed lol.

 

Non-thirdgens are allowed but they just have to park in a different section.

 

C'mon Denny, don't you think that before they decide whether or not to come you should tell them that their "different section" is a 12 mile walk from your house?

 

ahhh......denny

those corn fields with those little kids in there....

children of the korn anyone??

lol

but hey the walk wasn't "too bad" I could have done without the "walk of shame" banners that said "no thirdgen today" and the name-calling...

 

Nah, we can make them the poor people who have to stand between the cars as we stage for races. ^_^.

 

oh ok.....anyone trailering their cars to this thing? i think i might be the only one...hmmm

 

Quit slackin and finish your car Steve

 

it's not slacking....my car is happy in the garage.... :lala: :lala:

as soon as there's no snow on the ground i can get cracking again. Wednesday is camaro day don't worry.

 

Well i live in Freeport IL (half hour west of Rockford). Id be willing to drive out for this party in my 89 Firebird. Send me more info on directions/times etc to sorethumbz@yahoo.com and keep me posted! I bet it would be a blast.

 

What is your exact address incase i miss the caravan there?

 

Sorry I am posting so late on this...but would be really interested in going

Are we paying before hand? When we get there? I know..I'm a lazy S.O.B. and didn't read through the posts to see if this was answered already. Anyways...hope to meet some of ya then!

 

Could somone please sum up everything for me here.

Exact Location of the party.
The COST of the party.
and the Times of the party, please, thanks!

 

sorry for the double post. Also, does it matter how many people i bring in my car? cause i have 3 people who want to go along?

 

Will you be taking 294 south? If so, check out the caravan thread

The party last year was free, but bring money cause he's got tons of parts and you never know what you'll need.

Sore- You better not miss the caravan . But you take 294S to 394S, then take that way down til you see the HUGE stop sign, you can't miss it. Make a left, o about two miles down. You'll see it, it'll be the house with all the thirdgens. I think he said he wanted people there about 1:00. Hope that answers it all

 

I'll catch the 294 caravan ;-) I'm about 5 minutes east of it. Free huh? Is this guy loaded? <checking list of cars he owns> Yup...must be...

I'll be there!

 

Sweet, another one for the caravan. Check out this post for all the details:
