He is my car being dropped off to be restified. It has come a long way since then.

You have a nice car there. Where did you drop it off to get the work done.

Rivhard · « **Reply #3 on:** July 07, 2007, 12:26:02 AM »

I brought it down to Restore A Muscle Car in Lincoln Nebraska. I have it back now almost ready to go. You can see it in the restoration section, should be able to do a search for Y88 in title. It has been awhile since I posted any progress. Thanks.

Here are some updated pics of my 1980 firebird after I got it home and finally got around to taking some new pictures of it.

Your pics turned out well!

Is your house really that far off the road?

chev717 · « **Reply #7 on:** November 03, 2007, 08:50:17 PM »

My car is at my parents house right now because i dont have a garage where i am living but yeah they live on a dirt roard and there driveway is pretty long. There house is the white two story with 18 acres in the second picture.

Rick · « **Reply #8 on:** November 03, 2007, 09:07:40 PM »

So that's their horse in the pasture too? And the barn is behind the house? Now that's something I kind of always wanted -- a real barn instead of just a garage.

chev717 · « **Reply #9 on:** November 03, 2007, 09:15:55 PM »

They are thinking about selling it in the spring if you want to move to minnesota..

What are the property taxes like? I just cut a 5-digit check for my 6 month tax payment...

chev717 · « **Reply #11 on:** November 04, 2007, 07:37:54 AM »

Not sure but that does suck to put out all that money

I am in Detroit Lakes. There are a few other 2nd Gen owners in town, although I don't think they belong to the forum.

I'm not real familiar with the area as I moved here just a couple years ago from NH. How far from Fargo are you guys? It would be great to get together.

Here's mine. Not much to look at right now. Got her about half way stripped down right now but ran into some rust issues that slowed things down. Then of course winter and an unheated shop don't help much. lol

Here's my thread in the Projects and Restorations board. I need to update it with some parts I recently received.

Well Larry, i'm about 5-6 hours from Fargo, the south central part of the state. It's to bad theres such a gap with not much for car shows.

chev717 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 10, 2008, 05:24:19 PM »

I am about 3 1/2 hours away from fargo. I dont think that is too far away. Looks like you got your hands full with your car. I know when I start to tear into mine I am bound to find more issues also not something Im looking forward to but It will be all worth it in the end.

i live in north iowa just 8 miles from the minnesota border

DakotaKid · « **Reply #22 on:** January 10, 2008, 08:21:55 PM »

Detroit Lakes, 45 minutes from Fargo on Highway 10.
My bird is in the shop with the front clip off so i can finish the engine compartment and the engine is sitting in my garage fully rebuilt waiting on some bolt-ons and a new home. Transmission is done and waiting on paint.

chev717 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 11, 2008, 06:16:35 AM »

Looks Like there is more people around then I thought. Thats cool. I can not wait till spring comes and I can take my bird out and spread her wings again. I just love going for a ride in it.

Joker (§ir£Ðragon) · « **Reply #24 on:** January 11, 2008, 10:44:02 AM »

Maybe we can all get together once the weather warms up. I did make it to the Car Craft show down in the cities last summer. And there are a couple small shows in Fargo too.

chev717 · « **Reply #25 on:** January 11, 2008, 10:57:25 AM »

I would be up for getting together when the weather warms up.

Heres a couple pics of my son and the TransAm. We started work 2 1/2 years ago on his 13th birthday, these are from around the 15th birthday. We're working on a 3.42 rear end to put in right now and hopefully will be all done by birthday # 16. When he gets his license! These cars are a great project to do with your kid. He learned I wasnt as dumb as he thought and we both were pretty proud when the engine we built actually ran!

I have a 1968 Firebird with a 400/400 combo and live near Lake Minnetonka. It is not picture worthy yet, I still need to get my tetnaus shot. LOL

Hi - new to TAC but have been in 'Minne-snow-ta' for a long time. Currently live in the western suburbs of the TC metro area.

Bought our 'anniversary' car in late October of 2004. Drove it from Mankato directly to a storage facility. In June of 2006 it went over to a body shop and didn't see daylight until August of 2008. Just missed having it ready to drive to Car Craft last fall but will be there this year.

Still have the final color sand and buff to do in the spring before the rest of the graphics go on. Also have a set of 8x15 snowflakes that will replace the originals (both sets were refinished locally). Here's a few pics taken coming out of the shop, first local cruise-in, and shortly before the snows came last fall. Click on each one to see a larger version.

btw - "BIGBRRD" is a '78 TA and has the 400ci with a 4 speed, Hurst t-tops and the original velour interior. We're the 2nd owners.

Nice looking car. Too bad all we can do is look at the cars in the garage this time of year.
