Jason, I'm down for a GTG. Name a time and place and get the crew together and drink some brews and we'll catch up on ole times. Kinda caught up with Scott while we were draining our wallets at the gas pump last night. It turns out that our Mall Crawlers get the same gas mileage.... crappy!

I just started my car to move it around in the garage, spent 4 bucks on gas.

It doesn't like to be photo'd I guess.
I just went & snapped this one in the garage, not much better. (Attempt #2 from this angle, washed it up tonight.)



Where are pics of yours?

OK, I went out with my real camera, car is dirty, pics aren't very good, but I updated the 2 previous one I posted of the new wheels.

Here is a motor shot.

Thanks guys!

It won't be @ the track in the near future, no cage.
I'm going to making some suspension changes and just getting used to the car & enjoying it.

The turbo is a GT47-80.

Hey all, I was a frequent member a fews years ago until I got rid of my SS. My name is Levi, some of you may remember me but prob not lol. Anyway, I want my old SS back I've seen it once around the WDM area. It is red with the black stinger stripe and a silver pin stripe out-lining the stinger, it has tinted windows, is lowered, the lug nut caps are black instead of the silver they came with. Th guy who purchased it did so from Willis. If anyone knows the current owner or can get any info, that would great. If you do know the owner and it's not for sale I would still like to see the car so I can do some personal crying with the car
Contact me with any info, Thanks!!! : 208-2681

I'm pretty sure I've seen your old car around WDM a few times. University & 74th, maybe coming from Waukee. I'll keep an eye out.

Thanks! Yeah I saw it on the freeway headed towards jordan creek. I wanna say he works out there cause it was a weekday morning I saw it. I thought about putting up a few missing photos in that area to see what that would turn up lol.
I have a buddy that has a 96 SS, was wondering if you'd be interested in doing a header, plug and wire install?

Just got done doing a slp header, plugs, wires, and p1sc Procharger install on a 95 z28. All I can say is f*** it sucks. thought I could have it done in a day or 2. took about 5-6 hours just to do the headers and tune up.
