Grand National newbie..
Well, i've done it... i was big into ls1 camaro's and i've just traded my low 12 second 00 z28 to a 86 buick gn.. it needs a lil work but i'm really banking on the people on here to help a newb out.. i don't know much about em so i'm gonna read up as much as possible... anyone got any tips or pointers let me know.. the guy i traded did say it had an aftermarket cam (specs unknown), bigger turbo and bigger intercooler and a forged bottom end.. i'm hoping with some sticky tires it'll at least go low 12's off the bat.. any help is greatly appreciated! thnx

Looking better & better. Even though mine had 35,000 miles on it, the original owner had it sitting on a trailer under a plastic tarp. It looked like a wreck. But now its right. Good luck and take your time and do it right. Mike

Looking good, looks like it's coming together. Now it's time to get that front bumper on and the tranny situation ironed out. Soon you'll be terrorizing Happy Valley Road, I assume that's still the hangout.
If you need a front bumper give me a call, I've got one out back that needs painting.

I guess it's been close to 20 years since I was last messing around your neighborhood at night on a weekend, damn that makes me feel old.
Let me know when you get it together, we'll hook up and have some fun with them pony cars.
