Just north of Grand Rapids Michigan. First camaro in over 25 years
Was looking at them for my daughter and I was bit once again. Wife says its mid life something or other LOL. Daughter bought a 85 Z28 in beutifull condition. And I bought a 88 Iroc in DIRE need of allot of attention. Going to bring her home this week. Strip it to the shell and start fixen/replacing/rebuilding/repainting.......Man Im getting to old for this chit......but what the heck you only live once and i miss playen with some good old fasion chevy HP!!!!!!!!

 

HAhaa Set a $ limit now or else you`ll have 50K into it like some of us! LOL

BTW Michiganspeed is a nice club and online forum over in your area

 

did you crack 50k in yours now? I thought I was bad with 25k into mine not counting buying the car.

 

Heck no but it could happen at this pace!

 

LOL hopefully I wont!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thow Im getting mine for a few hundred bucks being a project car. I just got the 4 bolt main block for 25 bucks. So hoping it dont add up to quick. Having been a mechanic in the late 70's early 80's I can do most the work myself. I know a few people that work at or own bodey shops so hopefully that will help with paint. I can do the bodey work myself just cant shoot the paint allergic to something in it. And I know several guys into scraping and junk yards so hopefully that will help with allot of parts. I know allot of hope's and assumptions LMFAO. But with allitle luck it might help keep the investments down a touch anyways. Michigan Speed I joined when I had my supra before my wife fell ill and then myself. been a rough 5+ years and just getting back on my feet.

 

ha man, its nice to hear about (no offense->) older guys getting back into the hobby. I got people telling me all the time that Im just young(27) and that by the time i'm their age(40-60), that I wont want to wrench on cars ever again. Considering Im a technician and thats my career choice, I sure hope they are wrong and that my love for cars and wrenching will live long, especially when considering the considerable amount of cash that has to be invested into the tools of the trade, plus all the education and seminars, yada yada yada.

Nice that you can share your f-body passion with your daughter, thats awesome man. You should have her join up here. Not sure how many sites you visit or whatever but I know there are at least a few guys from GR at the other site I use a lot which is mifbody.com . Well see ya around. Oh, by the way, in case you didnt notice yet, I responded to your pm.

 

Started wrenching at 14 on a FORD fairlane......next car was a 72 chevelle wich I played with untill I was 20 something years old. Owned a 67 camaro for a while.....Monza spider....LOTS of trucks.....got out of wrenching for years....Then took it back up for a while doing some jeep stuff to play with.....sold that stuff got into the supra for a short time untill Wife got ill.....then myself. Pulled wrenches professionally from 16 untll about 25
