Re: Anyone in Alabama?

I'm just across the line from you on I20 in Meridian, what kind of parts are you looking for? I've got an 87 IROC and 92 RS parts cars, most of the good stuff is gone but ping me back and I will check for you.

Re: Anyone in Alabama?

I'm here in Northport, AL. I can give you a good body shop reference. However, I could use a good mechanic lead as well.

Give me a shout when you are cruising through.

Nothing in particular. I will start looking at interior soon. But eventually I want to look @ a motor swap. Probably years down the road. There is a Firebird cruise and show going through, and stopping in Atlanta. I just can't find the link again. That would be a cool place to go to show off. The cruise starts in Florida and ends in North Carolina, I think. They are driving to nationals of some kind.

Re: Anyone in Alabama?

So I haven't been on TGO in literally a year or more, and I just saw this thread.

I'm Jason. I live in McCalla and work in Tuscaloosa at an independent shop. I'm ASE certified in five areas and I've owned a thirdgen (and on occassion as many as three) since 1996. Right now I have a white '89 T-top Iroc that's pretty thoroughly modified.

If any of you guys need help/info/parts leads/work done, drop me a line or stop by Henry's Auto Care on McFarland and ask for me!

Re: Anyone in Alabama?

It would be nice to meet some other local third gen owners. Birmingham FBody never had many folks interested in 3rd gens. It was 90%+ 4th gens.

Re: Anyone in Alabama?

The BFBA always did consist mainly of fourth-gens, simply because 4th gens were current when the club was formed and there were SO MANY of them on the street. There was always at least SOME thirdgen participation though. Namely, me! At least until I moved away....

I'd be all for getting together sometime. Do you guys ever hit the Saturday night cruise-ins around Bham?
