So who is up for a small get-together Saturday (Nov. 10th)? I was thinking of meeting somewhere for lunch, then going over to the swapmeet afterwards. Anyone know of some restuarants local to the Ballpark area in Arlignton?

Count me in. I will probably be out there in the morning, but I will ahve my cell phone with me. There are all kinds of restaraunts right there, but at Joe's crab shack you can park right next door to the swap meet

i'll be there. there is a benagen's really close

 

yeah ill be there, i finally got a weekend off without asking

just set a time and a place and ill be there.

 

what are you guys thinking? dont any of yall remember there is a hooters right there?

geez,
jacob

 

good call

 

ok Hooters it is..

That makes 4 of us so far..
tamu130 Are you going?
So far..that's not bad at all for such a short notice!

 

i am going to the swap meet but i may be working early saturday afternoon . in that case, lunch would be a problem. ill have to get back on you guys about that one.

jacob

p.s. are girlfriends allowed?

 

that sucks....I'll PM you my cell# so we can at least meet up when you get there.
And of course girlfriends are allowed! lol
I'm bringing mine

 

what time ?

 

we should get a hold of mult68 and try to get the nttga.org about the meet so we get a whole bunch of people togeter for the meet.

 

at this time...NTTGA still isnt sure how many people are going. I know a couple of us will be there atleast....but I don't know if it'll be enough to call it a NTTGA meet. A lot of our folk are going through a bunch of stuff right now....some may or may not be out of town...We're discussing it on the forums though....we'll let you know.

Oh and by the way...there is a car show on Dec. 7th....more info will be posted later today on our site. Should be fun...come check it out.

 

ill try to make it about what time and the hooters on collins?
i drive a red 92 camaro with a 383 in it i would like to see other third gens around this area
thanks greg

 

<font size=4>Yea it's the Hooters on Collins about 3/4mi South of I-30.
Were meeting at 12noon </font>

 

ok guys...I got SATURDAY THE 9TH OFF......the 10th is a Sunday...I was confused out of my mind....just wanting to confirm that it is SATURDAY.

 

Hey, I got a few questions for you experienced swap-meet guys.
1: What are the chances of finding a T-56?! My 700R4 blew up today...makes horrible noises and wont get out of 1st.....its very annoying going at around 25 MPH @ 4000 RPM.....
2: Do people trade stuff, or is it just all out sale?
I have the stock I think 26 spline axles out of my car, and a posi differential to get rid of....I was planning on selling them for a T-56....just not this soon
3: If ya'll think I have a good chance of finding a T-56 for about $500 + axles + differential, would it be possible for someone to swing up to Denton and give me a ride...as mine just blew up , or if I manage to find a ride to somewhere near one of ya'll could I ride w/ you? Would you have room for a tranny?
Oh, one more thing....anyone have experience doing the swap....700R4->T56 that would maybe help me out with that....like in their garage (I have no place to work on it) Anyone want to try it on someone elses car before their own and have a garage? I know I'm asking alot here, I'm stuck though....
Thanks in advance.

me and my buddy can't make it Saturday, is anyone gonna go on Sunday?

 

yeah i might be up there on sunday if they have something i need for my chevelle or rs that i cant get fit in my car, ill have to come back up the the truck

just private message me later on a time to meet up there or something......i try not to pass up seeing a nice looking thirdgen

james

 

Yup it's Saturday, <font size=4>Nov. 9th</font>, not the 10th. Sorry for the confusion.

 

1. Chances of finding a T56 are good. Last time I saw 2-3 of them for 400-450 each. I think they were cores though.
2. Most of the time people strictly want to sell, not trade. But I'm sure there's a few who would trade. They wouldn't give much for a posi and axles though.
3. I did the T56 swap in my 89 IROC I used to have. I have access to a shop with a lift and all, but the owner of the shop will charge $$$ for the time spent in there.
I'm sending you a PM now.

 

Is there anyone on here from the Denton Area, or that would be willing to drive up here? I already got a ride down there, so all I really need is a ride back, possibly with a transmission. Oh yeah, and I'd need a ride from Hooters to the Swapmeet.
Please I'm on me knees here!:hail:
Corry

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I will pay gas

 

wont be able to meet you guys sat. got a ticket to the texas a&m vs. oklahoma game then. im a big aggie so im not gonna miss this one. ill diffenetally be there bright and early sun though. if anyone is gonna be there then, let me know and we can have our own lunch or something. we'll say 11:30 just to be different. get back to me if your interested.

later everyone and good luck finding stuff sat,
jacob

p.s. if anyone finds a good value on a 350, buy it for me

 

See you all the tomarrow!
Unfortunately I'll be in the 99 TA. It's navy blue and has a Ram Air hood. Look for it!

 

Also those people interested in joining NTTGA...or those who will be paying their dues....look for me (Joel)....Teal RS

 

Well looks like I am go....I am also going to try and get a short term loan on my next paycheck just to insure I can afford the trans, and maybe more hardware, hell might find a mounting bracket there lol.
I really dont like the idea that my trans blew up on me, but man am I excited about gettin the t56.....I wasn't planning on the swap until april of next year hehe, now its just too cool! Cant wait till tomorrow! Se ya'll there!
BTW, just in case I look real stupid looking for ya'll, I'm tall like 6'4" long dark hair, usually dress dark, so if you see this big oaf looking stupidly around for everyone, give me a yell! I'll probably be carrying a small cardboard box containing a diff, so that should make me easy to sopt

 

Good to see you all there! Sorry I was 2 1/2hrs late
I picked up a Mac tool box, and almost have it ready to be re-painted. That thing was all banged up and rusted, etc etc But it's looking a lot better now
I also got some other Snap-on sockets

I think we should start doing these Gatherings EVERY swapmeet from now on.

Jason

Also I am ho rrible with names. I know James' car, and Joel's car. Who had the other 2 cars? It's just hard to put screen names with faces with cars..

 

Katie had the white TA...dont think you were there when daniel was there...and Erik had the Gray Roc. By the way....when we met up with you guys...I was out buying that shop manual....didnt get a chance to say hello...and the rest of the day i was just out of it....when you were leaving i was like....oh crap I never even said hi to him. Sorry about that....it was a tough weekend.

 

Sorry I missed you Jason. We parked behind Red Hot and Blue, and lost the rest of the group. There sure were a lot of people out there. I think we walked about half of the swap meet, but didn't really buy much.
Jon

 

it was cool to meet most of you guys i was the red 89 formula. i picked up some polished tall centerbolt valve covers

 

It's cool, I had a tough weekend as well. I was buying a lot of stuff so it was hard to stay with the group.

 

I finally got those pics from the swap meet....sorry it took so long but my computer was down for about a month...now im having problems with posting the pics anybody know a good FREE website hosting that allows Hot-Linking or direct linking (Whatever you wanna call it)

 

i found a place. send me the pics

 

what place did u find? ill send you the pics this weekend, but i still need to know the site....

 

i finally got this to work, heres some pics

 

last one,
