Well its been alot of fun, but I just sold the 64 today. Now the money's burning a hole in my pocket... hmmm... speed parts or interior???
Actually I'll have it in my barn for a couple more months anyway looks like. He did pay me in full, but he only took a few choice pieces away with him. |

Naw, not enough money for that anyway. Besides..MY formula allready has a poncho in it. Just needs a 4.25 stroker crank.
I'm thinking I might take the GTA seats in to the upholstery shop. See what he can do for them. |

Lance had a 502 big block in his garage waiting to go in the Camaro for more years than I've had my big block sitting around. But this does raise a question... I thought Blue89 was Lance with a new user name. Am I totally misinformed? Maybe it's high time I went to a Crew function.  |

Off on two counts Jon...
1) blue89 is Travis, nice V6 Camaro that is autocrossed on a pretty frequent basis by the sound of it.
2) Brandon actually follows through on his projects
Lance dropped out a while back. He told me that he was pretty upset that 'we' allowed a certain former member to hang around as long as we did. Always a tough call since all of us are 'we' and you have to be a pretty big tool to get turned away by this crowd - there have been a few over the years though. The particular scammer he was upset about has since been banned.
I never did see the infamous 502 and I believe he said that he sold it several years back. Last time we saw the car he had put big chrome IROC wheels on it. He had rubber band tires on it and big fenderwell gaps but I heard he had swapped the rubber and lowered it which should have made it look pretty nice.

Golly! I'm really out of touch with the times! I guess I should avoid any type of PR position with the Crew, eh?
By the way, who is this Schultzy guy and where the hell did he come from all of a sudden?  |

Ya know, I'm glad it's gone for you ,but at the same time it's sad.
We may just have to make a run up there so you can burnout with carb backfires on studded tires sitting on a cinder block once more.
Plus I always wanted to see what a BBC would do to that poor little frame!  |

I think we have an early morning (late night?) video of the velle backfiring through the carb from one of the cows gatherings. Don't think the quality was that good but if the kids ever let me back on the other computer I'll look for it.
As far as this Schultz jerk, not sure who he thinks he is. If you see him tell him I'm looking for him though. That SOB owes me a LOT of money.

last I heard from lanceypants was he landed a huge interstate contract or someshit and was going to be busy with it, but don't think that crap was supposed to last that long, and then never heard from him again _________________
