I'm not really aware of any events coming up locally, but i'm in the buffalo area (hamburg). It's always cool to find more gearheads in the neighborhood. =) Where abouts in b-lo are you from?

Hey, its good to here from you guys, i have a really hard time connecting with third gen lovers around here. If anyone is interested in the area, i work at a paint repair shop near the galleria, its MUCH cheaper than a repaint for us broke people that still want our cars to look nice, if anyone wants to know more let me know. also you can visit me at autozone at walden ntransit, which carries a limited supply of parts for our cars, they didnt have a replacement headlight motor and that ticked me off ( i wanted my discount on it!!)

I want to know more! The S/E looks like crap, the guy that had it before me never took care of the paint, so its all faded and in pretty rough shape all around. But I dont want to paint it cause i cant get a stripe kit for it. Not sure how good a paint repair job would work, but is it an option?

Well, paint repair is actually a very narrow option. it only works on vehicles that are not totally torn apart, although it can improve almost anything. what i do is match each touch up paint to each individual car, and carefully fill each chip and scratch. for dull cars, if there is enough clearcoat left on it, we can buff it to a shine. also, alot of scratches dont even need to be touched up, they can be removed! its quite an interesting process. with rust, and cracks and serious paint damage, a blend is necessary, but we dont blend above mid-door, because the risk of screwing up is high. lowers, especially bumper area is the easiest to blend. I would have to look at each vehicle individually to tell you what we could do, its hard to tell from description
I am thinking about purchasing a 1987 trans am t tops new 350 engine(6,000 miles on it) paint is great, no rust on top!!!!!!!!!!!! barely any rust underneath! shes a beauty, and i think im obsessed with her

Yeah, my paint isnt really scratched or anything. Just incredibly faded. Not sure if there is enough clear coat left to be able to get anything with buffing. Congrats on the T-A finding a rust free vehicle in WNY is damn near impossible.
