Dude pat, that sucks. Good luck with getting it done. What tintting place you goin to, and how much they run? I gotta get my hatch tinted.
My car is almost back togather. Wound up having to use a '91 RS hatch cause the other TA one I had broke on me. The car is 3 different colors with the center piece of the 3 piece camaro spoiler on it. I got my old firebird one and that'll go back on when i have money for paint. I'm gonna hate driving a multi-color car around. Probably wont be painted till summer.

You still up for a meet this spring?

Matt

well i have another disk brake housing, but its in storage and not very accesible right now. i have the 4.10 posi drum rearend that i took out of the car, but its all rusty and crappy looking. i dont know what im going to do yet

matt, i think the place is called 1a auto, its in southbend someplace....i just hope i can make it down there it time.

let me know when you want to get your car painted, i should be able to hook you up with some good prices. im up for a get together this spring, after this show is over, i can start getting it together
