The Building with 2 Overhead Doors, Gutters, and Insulation plus Concrete and the Heating System cost right around $50K. (This is the reason why I'm waiting to purchase a H/C Package and Upgraded Rear End for my 99.) My brother and I didn't put up the building, but we did put together the in-floor heat and helped to pour the concrete, as well as did all the wiring. (My brother and Dad are both Electricians.) So that saved us a little. It wasn't cheap, but I'm glad we did it. And I'll be even happier once its paid off next Fall. Then, soon after, you're gonna see one fast LSx Firebird runnin' 'round Southeastern Iowa.
I have an issue of High Performance Pontiac with an article on your blue 3rd Gen. Very nice, man.
Good lookin' garage too.
I believe we have a new front runner. Nice shop, man!
I work 12 hour shifts 3-4 days a week (and alot of times 5-7 days a week during the busy Fall Season) as a Pressman for an Offset Printing Company called Vertis Communications. I've been there 12 1/2 years and that's how long its taken me to earn/collect what I have.
Nope. I wore a condom and this is my first (and only) marriage.

The 35th SS is my brother's car. I can't take credit for buying it, but I can take credit for helping to keep it looking good. Seems like I'm the only one who ever washes and details the damn thing.
The 91-92 Firebirds were the best looking 3rd Gens. I definitely have a soft spot for the Formulas. Wicked ride!

I also had a 1989 Formula back in the day and have always loved the 3rdGen 'Birds. My current one has 97K, I'm the 2nd owner and she makes ~220rwhp/290rwtq with just exhaust/tune. I'm in a quandry as what to do with her now that I have the 1998 TA as a driver.

Actually, all eight of our vehicles actually ran/drove, but some (like the 650rwhp Z28) weren't exactly daily-drivers. The herd has currently been thinned to six vehicles including the motorcycle...
