I just came across this thread, and do not have near enough time to read it, but am wondering if any kind of regular meetup time and or location came out of it?

 

I'd like to know that too. I think I've seen one or 2 of the cars posted here at the Wexford car cruise. But outside of that I don't know anything.

 

Not a "thirdgen specific" type meet but wexford happens alot, and so does irwin/norwin hills on rt 30.

We once had a meet or 2 out in Norwin/Irwin and thats how I met a few guys here. But we really havent had a thirdgen only type thing going.

 

You still in Houston? Or in PA?

I'd be down for whatever, at least in another month or 2 when I get my car out of winter hiding.

 

Moving back to PA in 11 days or so

 

I'm at the Wexford show just about every Friday. It runs memorial day weekend to labor day weekend. I missed the norwin cruise last year, but I plan on making it a few times at least. Not sure of any other regular meets. As far as out of town stuff goes I plan on going to Woodward, the TA nationals, and maybe thirdgen fest, if somebody gets their car done and has the faith to drive it there. If anybody's up for a road trip let me know.

 

hahah the plan is to have it done and ready to go but you are asking alot out of me to finish it in a month and tune it in a month to get it road worthy to drive 7 hrs!! its a race car remember?

 

Lol. Just a little motivation. If you can go an hour, you can go seven. Just a few more fuel stops.lol There's always the trailer.

 

Fuel stops will be necessary thats for damn sure!!

 

Suddenly 3.4l looks a lot more appealing doesn't it :P

 

Pretty sure I've seen your bird there a few times now.

I drove my car 14 hours home from Illinois last year sight unseen.

I'd drive it out there if I were compelled enough to do so. Its in Crete, IL right? As far as "ready" I guess after I get some new rubber on it this spring its as good to go as it can be pealing clearcoat and all.

 

Yeah, its in crete. I wasn't planning on going but Orr had mentioned maybe taking the camaro out if it was done. If he gets it done and wants to go then I'm in. Never been to that show. Haven't had mine further than Detroit, though I've done that 5 or 6 times.

 

Hey! My cars done the weather is unreal is there anyone getting together anywhere to show off our Thirdgens! PS, I'm in Pgh, City of.

 

anyone going to irwin car show this upcoming weekend? i believe its the first of the year.

 

Brothers, I hate to say this but Damn this winter type crap sucks! I'm thinking of moving south, I'm gonna retire soon anyways! I want to drive my car!

 

I've been saying that for like 4 years now lol, I couldn't agree more.

 

i ve said this since i was 16!

 

I said the same thing when I was 16. Moved here to Las Vegas when I was 22. It's been high 90s all week. Spent the weekend at the Venus pool at Caesars Palace.

 

I moved south and didnt bring my 3rd gen but had my 4th gen... weather is nicer during winter but just brutal during summer. I didnt like it at all. I since moved back north. Long winters here may suck but it gives enough time to do serious winter rebuilds/mods

 

if every winter was like this past winter no one would ever leave western pa.

 

Hey guys I just found this thread but my dad owns a bar in Cecil (about 25-30 mins south of the city or less on a good day) and I was thinking maybe we could have a third gen meet there. I'd have to talk to him about it first if there's enough interest but I think it'd be cool for everyone to meet up to show off our cars. Like I said its a bar so there's drinks (non alcoholic or alcoholic if you're old enough) I could also get food from the pizza shop I work at right down the street and there's some good bands that play down there sometimes so one of them might be able to play that day too. I think it could be fun if there's enough interest and maybe it could become a regular thing this summer too at least until I go to college.

 

sounds interesting.

 

Im living in Delmont, can anyone tell me where I can get C16 around here other than the track?

 

what! Thats where I'm at right now! Did you just move here?

Join our other local forum, unitedgearheads.com and swpamotorsports.com. Although united gearheads is more active now. Good site to meet all the local racers in the area.

Not sure who sells C16, but i'm sure the local guys would know.

Edit: I'm asking around and found a place in Butler up north that sells it. Purvis Brothers

 

Just signed up. Have an 85 iroc that i am starting on. Anyone here down to help with misc projects for cash or beer? Im 10 mins north of the city

 

 

What are you looking to do?

 

Rear end work for now.

 

Has anyone seen any Iron Duke F-bodies at the cruise in Wexford?

 

I have not. Was not there on camaro night though.

 

Ok. I might bring mine out when I go through it and bet it touched up and cleaned up. Definately before I turbo it.

 

Yea ill prob be out there. My car isnt close to done yet to show it

 

I think we should give this a try... Set up a Fri or Sat night date and everyone show up in a Thirdgen! Cecil is right down the road from me!

 

Once I get a rear diff in, I'd come.

 

I was out at the first cruise in wexford this year, didn't have the IROC, had the z34 though. Saw one of the members Formulas, looked like it had 82' pace car seats.

 

Yep, that was me and they are pace car seats. I got to the show and never made it back to my car til about 9.

 

Lol i was gonna say pace car seats at wexford it must have been josh lol. Those seats look good with your color combo

 

Thanks. I remember, the first time I saw them, thinking they would look great in my car. Fortunately Stippy decided to sell them at the right time.

 

Yeah that car is getting parted out for another drag car project down the road.

I'm just abit upset i havent had my car finished by now. I figured end of may but now its mid june and no end in sight. Hoping before july 1 cuz there is a show i wanted to attend with it but if not, i'll take the trans am. Its more reliable anyway haha. Nice having 2 "toys"

I was up norwin irwin show last weekend. Nice turnout but only 1 thirdgen. Bout a dozen new stangs and shelbys there and new ss camaros to boot. Thirdgens seem dead around here

 

I was going for the two toys thing, but I can't get enough time to work on the other one.lol Might make it to Norwin some day. Seems like every Saturday I'm either up north or have other plans. This weekend I'll be north, next weekend Maryland, then north again.lol

Hopefully yours is up and running soon. Gotta get some miles on it before they take your registration away. Damn people driving race cars on the streets, scaring the locals.

 

If any one wants some free louvers that are in decent condition with all the parts, let me know, I will eventually throw them out, if no one takes them.

 

Interested. Pics please.

 

 

Looks nice man, Where you located? Wanna meet up somewhere between here and there?

 

I'd love to do some sort of mini-meet locally. Gotta get the IROC back up first though!

 

OK Pittsburghers....It's a beautiful warm summer evening, and you've just spent the day shining up the third-gen. Time for a nice cruise to...........where?? Are there still places around western PA where people actually cruise? When I was younger, there were quite a few "hotspots" you could cruise to, with the probability of seeing a good mix of customs and classics on a hot summer night. I live in Beaver County, and we have Jerry's Curb Service in Bridgewater. It is an old-style burger joint with carhops, and one can usually find a good mix of rods and customs there on any given night. I was hoping you guys could share your favorite spots to visit when you're out cruisin......

 

Back in town for a few weeks. Anyone interested in a get together? I'll definitely bring my car!

 

Sorry for such a late reply my life is quite hecktick right now. They are for pick up only.
I am located just off of exit 88 on 79 , which is Zelienople/Harmony.

If my car was inspected and had a plate I would take it up to Cruise-a-Palooza on Main Street in Butler and put a $5500 price tag on it. Haha, the show runs from 10 am to 7 pm this Sunday

 

Hey anyone near johnstown? Just looking to cruise, maybe some good information on where to find parts around here.

 

Any of you guys live in the south hills area? I am looking to buy an IROC but i would love to check out some of your rides in the mean time to learn more about the third gens and to be able to see how nice they turn out....
