Re: [DFW] Dallas & Fort Worth
I'm up in Denton as well. Haven't had my 91Z running in almost a decade since I've had my 01 ws6. Every time I get on here it makes me want to get it going again :-). If anyone is ever in dentin stop by Mr Frosty and I'll get you a cheap burger or milkshake!

Re: [DFW] Dallas & Fort Worth
I might have missed it somewhere, but what is the plan for meeting up and caravaning to Austin? Still undecided about going but would like to know some details.

Re: [DFW] Dallas & Fort Worth
the plan is to meet at the braums in hillsboro between 10 and 1030AM, visit for a bit, and hopefully pull out between 1045 and 11 to continue the drive to Georgetown
thanks for asking! I was going to post up that information soon anyway

Re: [DFW] Dallas & Fort Worth
Yea, I read the main gathering thread again and saw it in there too. Got to find a way to justify the trip though. Sucks being a broke college student and paying butt-rapingly high gas prices. Add the fact that the Friday after the meet I'm going home to Houston for summer break. Tough call.

Re: [DFW] Dallas & Fort Worth
That explains why I haven't been able to get you to attend the 3rd gen statewide gathering in Georgetown. You need to get more sociable and show off that sweet 92 Formula.

Re: [DFW] Dallas & Fort Worth
I've also got the original 91 / 92 Formula nose to go on it. Though I've got to get it painted.

Re: [DFW] Dallas & Fort Worth
I've also got a power bulge hood to go with it as well. I'm not sure which hood I'll end up staying with. I like the hood that's on there now, especially with the black stripes. That really helps break up the yellow paint nicely. I'm not sure I'll be happy with the current hood though after I switch back to the factory 91/92 Formula nose. Hence the reason I've got both. I'll test them both out and see which works best for the 91/92 nose.
I've also replaced the shifter with a B&M ripper, new shift ****, (SLP leather), Grant GT steering wheel, new door seals, spare set of T-Tops, I've got that black hatch plastic with the cut outs for the storage cover / pull down shade. I've also done all the suspension links, urethane bushing, and a new rear sway bar. Oh, the starter gave out on me so I replaced that with an LT1 mini-starter. Lots of work done but there are so many more things I have to do.
Eventually I'll strip her down to her bare chassis and repaint the thing. I'll go in with new / refurbished interior parts and the new 383 engine, suspension, radiator, etc. I'll probably do a TPIS Mini-RAM for an intake. I'd also eventually like to slap a supercharger on it. These are of course plans that I won't see come to fruition for sometime, but those are my eventual goals. When I have it all done, I hope for it to look pretty much like it does now, except show car quality. (With the correct nose.) The interior will pretty much remain the stock interior. I will go in with fourth gen leather seats though. I may do some custom Firebird logos on the headrests or something like that.

Re: [DFW] Dallas & Fort Worth
Join us for the March NTTGA meeting a a NEW location!
We are going to meet at the GREASE MONKEY, which is 5 minutes south of I-30 in Arlington. Good food, good prices, and a car themed restaurant, who could want anything else?
Let's meet at 4PM to 6PM on Sunday, March 10th, and go until we get tired of visiting. the grease money has Live Music during those hours, so it should be a blast. Clean up your third gen and bring it to the meet, but of yours isn't up to the drive, just come anyway and visit with the rest of the club.
here's the website
http://www.greasemonkeyburgers.com/
The Grease Monkey
200 N Mesquite
Arlington, TX 76011
(817) 665-5454
here's the Google map, let's all park in the lot across Mesquite St from the restaurant. It's a large lot that we will have all to ourselves, and you can pull into it from Division ST, and avoid the north/south one way streets of center and Mesquite.
See you all there!
Don't forget the Third gen roundup on May 4th as well. we'll have flyers at the Meeting this Sunday or you can visit the website an/or Facebook page. http://thirdgenroundup.com

Re: [DFW] Dallas & Fort Worth
I grew up in Mesquite until I moved out to CA after high school. I still go back every year to see my folks and siblings for summer/Thanksgiving/Christmas. I'm going back to school, so these days I can only afford about two trips a year, but would love to run into some of yall one of these days.
