Hey all,

Just stoping in to say hi, going to stay around on these boards for a while


Firebreed

 

nice to have you on the boards. do you know the quans? they have some of the baddest cars in your part of the valley

 

welcome got any pic's or you car

 

Howdy from the Bay.

 

No i dont But i got pics of my car, ill post them up soon, MY paint is pealing like heck and im going to get it repained as soon as i can.

 

Hanford, is that down towards fresno? Welcome to tgo.

 

Hanford, This where I pickup my Vette.
Welcome.... And many more post...

 

Hafords about a 30 min drive south of Fresno, you can take 43, and as soon as you hit 10th, or fargo st, your in hanford (which is faster) or you can take 41, then go east, hit 198, then go east past lemoore (7 or so miles from lemoore) and you hit the city of Hanford.

 

damn thats far, most of us westcoast board users are the nor cal folk.

theirs a specific so cal board that prolly better suites you, but i dun wanna scare you off. i see you got an SSA edition, rare.

 

Is it rare? THis is my First F-body so, i dont know squat about them.

 

Oops double post sorry!

 

SSA was a region specific package, its rare that thier werent many ssa, with special badges, thats about it though.

 

 

welcome to the site...stick around.

 

What up Firebreed Welcome to the site!

 

Heres a pic of my car. can't remeber when i took them though. (this was a few months ago, my paint has gone even more to hell)

 

Welcome to the boards. Don't worry about the paint, every thirdgen has paint issues. Nice car, looks like a very straight and well taken care of body, which is hard to find in these cars. Congrats again.

 

Thanks, I took care of the Frount quarter pannel (passenger side) seems some dimwit didnt put the car on the right lift point on that side.. and bent the part of the body where that small braket right behind the wheel is so i took a pair of plires and got that part preaty much straight, i got a few rusty areas, but ill get that cleaned up as soon as i get the cash for a good paint job.

A little surface rust won't be to hard to take care of at all. I have some around my t-tops that I will be fixing this summer. I know what you mean about saving money for a good paint job. I hate having to paint a car, too expensive, but it protects and makes your car look so good, and that's very important, at least to me.

 

It is important to me too , as soon as i get around 6000 dolllars (a bit expisive?) The car's going black with Gold racing stripes and maybe a bit of ghost flames with it (not to sure how it is gonna look with the ghost flames), and im gonna get my rim's repaited, (same color, just needs to get repainted, their dirty as hell, and ive scrubed, and powerwashed them, and they are still dirty.)

 

Welcome to TGO

 

$6000 is about right for a real good paint job. I like the color scheme you will be going with, and flames should look sweet with it. When your rims are that old don't bother trying to clean them, just repaint them and they will look like new. Good luck with everything, and keep us updated on how things come along.

 

Damn, $6K?

IMHO, I would spend $500 and Earl Scheib it, take the remaining $5500 and have one killer street sleeper, and some extra bread to take my girl out with, maybe buy some food...

Just my

 

I don't think your paintjob should be worth more than your car.

 

Thats a $500 paint job on it right now

I rather have a good looking paint job (and a well done one at that) then have a crap job done

Ill keep you all updated, (right now im looking for another job, i just got fired ) And it seems no one is hireing right now

Firebreed

 

Sorry about the job issues, hope it works out soon for you. Thanks for keeping us updated.

There is a big difference between a $500 and $6k paint job, you can see and feel the difference. Cheap paint job is going to have a bunch of over spray and will be very thin and just won't hold up in time. Spend $6k and your car will be taken apart first, and the paint will be orange peel thick and will last 10+ years if taken care of right, it would be a factory paint job basically. Please don't think I am dissing on people who get $500 paint jobs. That's what I will be getting soon just to get me by until I can save up $6k or more, plus not everyone is like me. Oh, and to me my car is priceless. There is my

 

Exactly how i feel!


anyways, right now im trying to trace down some engine problems, my choke seems to be going out (car stalls when cold, but runs fine when warm/norm operation temp), my Cruise Control just stoped working on me and my a/c is out!

 

Sounds like a typical thirdgen. Once something goes wrong on these cars everything wants to break at the same time, I know how you feel. It will get better in time though, and with more money of course.

 

You can say that again!

It's like a freshly rebuilt Holley carb, you gotta keep f^&$%ng with it, but once it's right, it's sah-weet!

 

Well, i found a little car club out in hanford, im the only third gen camaro owner out there (many nice old cars includeing corvettes, mustangs, hot rods, ect) though, Im gonna go to a meeting to night, at Target (show off my car and hang out with the rest of the members) If any of you want to check out my car in person come on out! it starts at 6:00pm today and goes to 9 and it's every friday at the same time.

Got it! had to change the extention from .jpg to .JPG lol darn computers!

 

Well since i got the other pics to work heres a few more to look at and these pics were from when i was working on the car to figure out whey my driver side door's power window wasnt working, and a few general maintiance to the engine, Sadly, i need a new power window moter, so im gonna be replaceing both driver side, and passanger side.

 

May I suggest that you get this professionally done and save yourself the high blood pressure.

Glad you "Welped" out your pics. You got that wacky 85 MPH 1/2 Canadian Speedo lol, that must be distracting.

 

Accually when i first got the car i was driving a little 4 banger car, with the speedo on the right side, so i keeped looking at the Tach in this car for a long time the only thing that pisses me off is that i cant tell you how fast i have really gone :P

 

youve done over 85!?

 

Amazing aint it I was quite surpised my self, if my Speedo isnt lieing to me that is
