Hello I'm Gunner

[Gunner]

Hello

I'm Gunner, and I live in SW Missiouri. I checked out your board (it was linked to from a Trans Am site I'm on). Of course, the evening I tried to create an account, was also the evening this site got hacked, and I had to wait a few weeks. ANYWAY

Here is my starting point








I had one of these before, when I was in high school. And yeah, I was a dumb kid who was harder on her than I should have been. But when she was beginning to show her age, I was planning on fixing her. All my freinds had muscle cars.........They'd run like a rocket, but corner like a tank. I wanted something different. Of course I wanted the power, but I wanted something more out of my machine too. I wanted it to corner and stop. This was in 1985, and I don't think pro touring was even around then.

Fast forward to now. I was lucky enough to get another chance. I picked up the white TA in the above picutes this may. All I've done to it is put a new windshield it, and a stereo. New wheels and tires are coming for Christmas. And my plan is still intact.

What I've got in mind for my car so far

A 400HP Butler Performance Pontiac 400
A 6 Speed Corvette Manual Transmission
Suspension Upgrades
4 Wheel Disk Brakes
Subframe replacment

Now, please notice that the last three are fairly generic objectives. I'm fairly handy with engines, but I have only VERY basic knowlege of suspension and breaking systems.

I guess thats why I'm here. You probably won't get much out of me, but, hopefully I can pick your brains, and you can help me out.

Thanks
Sim Taylor
