No LTs for me anymore, but I enjoy lurking and staying semi up-to-date on some builds. My T/A project is on hiatus.

Man, I keep saying I'm gonna get back on here and keep forgetting. Been doing some lurking lately to see who's still around haha.

Nope, never getting rid of the Camaro. Due to many life circumstances it got neglected. Now I have the time to fix it right. Also, I have inherited our family car collection and own 10 collector cars now in total. The Chevette started off as a possible ltx swap, but V8 Chevettes have been done and they rarely go well. I just pulled the stock 1.6 and rebuilt it. I've pulled all the old emissions crap and "hot rodded" it a little bit. The surf wagon was my youngest son's idea so we went with it. It gets more attention than all the other cars we have and I love when it gets more attention than some high dollar stuff at the shows it has been in. It was chosen for the GM Heritage collection display at Carlisle 2 years ago. Your fox body looks badass! Not many of them around anymore ynat are clean.

I understand that, it does suck going through everything and redoing it all. And 10 cars??
