My old wrenching buddies lives have all gotten a lot busier in the past few years. I attempted to put together a car for 2010, but just couldn't pull it off alone. Looking to get a good group together for the $2011 Challenge.
I'm thinking we could try to get together at QSL in early December to meet up, and see if we all mesh well, then probably start working on a car in Jan, after the holiday insanity is over. I've got a two car garage, and have one project going already, but can change it up, too. Here's my thoughts for a project:
My 1987 Firebird. We finish it, test it, and refine it. The most likely option.
Some sort of tiny hatch with a FWD drivetrain stuffed in back. I'd say this is only an option if we've got a group big enough, dedicated enough, and insane enough.
Other?
Main goal for the car is a respectable finish, and to have something that can be driven on the street once this is all over. Main goal for the group is to have fun, be safe, an work well with each other. Then maybe switch to someone else's garage/car for the next year, if we want to do it again.
If you're interested, and would have time to work on the car in 2011, let me know. You don't need to have a lot of skill, I'm not the greatest mechanic myself. However, abilities/skills/etc that could help would be: Experienced autocrosser, someone who owns a truck/trailer (or we're driving the car to Florida), someone with SBC or F-Body experience, and someone with excellent ebay/craigslist/negotiation skills.
