Wagon makes it's debut

[Rocket Power]

I am sure everyone saw me as I drove my wagon for the first time last night for 6 blocks :goof
Tomorrow it becomes the driver :headbang

Just in time for the snow? ;)

Big pimpin'.....should keep that thing from the salt, its rust free right?

[Rocket Power]

It's rust free now :rolf
It will get frequent washings and I think will be ok for the few times it'll see snow for the rest of the season. I don't plan on it seeing snow next winter :D

[PB86MCSS]

Sweet....maybe I'll have to check it out sometime :D. And dream of the day I get a nice g-body wagon to play with.

[Rocket Power]

Well It's got about 80 more miles under it's belt. I now have one tire that has a poor attitude about keeping air :goof and looks like my temp sensor doesn't want to play anymore. I got the check engine light on all the way home. Oh and 1983 was NOT the height in car audio. :rolf I will be robbing the wife's 442 this weekend for my CD player and her 4X10's. I would like to kick in the junk, whoever decided to put 4x10's in the G-bodies. You used to be able to pic up decent new ones for $40 but now you have a choice of 1 at Best Buy or Circuit City for a little over $100 and they sound worse than the nearly 10 year old Jensens we already have. I am going to have to get/make a box or something if I want a decent sized speaker.

Just get the $20 adapters and some 6x9's.......:D. I wouldn't bother with 4x10's anymore. Can even rig up 6x9's without the adapters for the time being if you are creative ;).

[Rocket Power]

I'll have to see if there is room for 6x9's . The speakers are on the rear wheelwells, I am not sure if there is enough plastic there to have room

Here a pic from this morning when I discovered a suprise flat tire, the left rear wasn't the one I was having problems with :goof Also note the COOL brown gas door from when it was a woody :rolf

Well I have now stolen my JVC CD player from my wifes 442 and her 4X10's :rolf
Definate improvement. Now on to the huge 3 1/2" dash speakers :goof

[PB86MCSS]

Sweet :D.

Do you want some Alpine 3.5"s? I have a set I yanked from my SS when I got new RF 3.5"s a couple years ago. They worked just fine, were brand new in like 97 or 98 right before I purchased the car. Have had them sitting around taking up space.

[Rocket Power]

Sure :thumbsup
BTW did you need another one of those 307 rad top plates? A friend was parting out a cutlass and I snagged it in case anyone would need it.

[PB86MCSS]

Nah, I don't *need* one anymore, got one for my LS that I just put on for some new electric fans...although I'm always looking for more of them, it would merely be a spare at this point ;). Thanks though...

Let me know when you'd like the speakers, next time I'm at my parents I'll bring them back with me.

Whenever you get a chance would be fine.

I "stole" the 442 rims off Angie's 442 today and put them on the wagon because I had a belt break inside my rear tire and it developed a tumor and looked like a porcipine (sp?) with steel quills :rolf

Man those 2.29 gears are killing me :goof
I need to upgrade this summer to 3.42's or 3.73's.
Then upgrade the engine :thumbsup

Guess what I found? The column shift tilt I KNEW I had somewhere! Yeah, yeah a day late....yada yada...

[PB86MCSS]

I'll get the speakers next time I'm over there, probably this week sometime.

My LS's rear might be available sometime this year, 3.42 open rear out of a 84' SS....if I finally get that 8.5" under it.

That's ok I forgive ya :rolf

I love this car especially the performance exhaust leak, I think my donut is going/gone. Guess it's exhaust swap time :headbang

Sounds good !
If you do sell the rear let me know, if I haven't already swapped and have the cash , I'll buy it from ya.

[PB86MCSS]

Sweet....will do, but the way things go it might not happen until 2007 :D.

[PB86MCSS]

The 3.5" speakers are in my garage on the LS's roof. Whenever you wanna swing by to pick them up let me know, anytime in the evening/night during the week or most times on the weekend I am around. :D

[Rocket Power]

Cool I'll try to figure out a good time and you can PM me your address :thumbsup
