Thirdgen Fest 2012!!!
Let's get a list of people going and some organization on times and places to meet early so its not 2 cars driving by themselves this year. Me and Bluezee did it alone last year. Let's get a list going of what your bringing and were your coming from. Also feel free to add pictures.

Re: Thirdgen Fest 2012!!!
I might be moving back to PA and if I'm around, and have the car running, quite possibly I can try to make it. I know i've said this before in the past but I could never get home that weekend from texas

Re: Thirdgen Fest 2012!!!
I'm either coming to TGF12 or the Fbody Reunion in Atlanta. I don't know if I want to drive that far to Atlanta so that may be a deciding factor.

Re: Thirdgen Fest 2012!!!
Hey Steve! - Don't know if I'm gonna make it this year or not, which blows big time since by then I'll have a lot more done to the car....including vacuum hoses that don't "fall off"..lol
Still gonna see if I can swing at least that Saturday off work. If not, I'd still like to hook up with ya some time when the weather clears up.

Re: Thirdgen Fest 2012!!!
Hate to say it Confuzed, but it looks more like a 92/92 than an 83! Previous owner put 85-90 bumper and nose, and a 92 spoiler. I have a set of 91/92 gfx in my basement too when I paint. In the future I want to get a stock 82-84 just because they are so different!

Same here man, I'm rushing to put my car running! Not much to go, might be able to break it in tomorrow.

As far as the ground FX, yeah, seems like the first thing people do to the 82-84's is change them out with the 90's ones. I just happen to like the old school look myself...since I resemble it...
Good luck with the break-in, not sure if I'll show up to Thirdgenfest in my '83 or my Challenger yet...

I'm not rushing, just hoping I could make it to TGF12. Seems that the PO had gotten in a wreck and put the newer graphics on. About to go start it up in a few hours!
