Do you guys always bring your f-bodies? Because I'm starting to rotate between 1st and 3rd shift so on the weeks I'm on 1st I could stop in if you guys don't mind another. I'm always looking to hang with f-bodie enthusiast.

I have a set of 4 real decent stock 82-84 Z28 wheels with almost brand new tires on them, and I live pretty close....I'll sell all 4 mounted, balanced and include center caps AND lug nuts for a reasonable price...unless you're bargain hunting, then I'm not the guy...

Re: Calling all WISCONSINITES

Cool pics from the meet in Rhinelander.

Was just at Sturtevant Auto today, they have a few thirdgens and have a pretty complete/fresh 87' Trans Am , 305TPI/Auto car. Can't miss the paint job, yellow with black stripes. The engine/TPI is mostly complete. I grabbed a couple minor items. Digital dash, hardtop. Has a funky spoiler that I'm not sure is an option or what, fits ok but looks like off a 2nd gen T/A. Just a heads up for those looking for parts. I know having TPI myself it's not often one makes it in the yards.

Firebird City in Delavan usually has a few 3rd gens in the back also. Drove down there for a t-5 a few years back and he had 3 to choose from.

Hey Louie,
Your car looks like a great starting point. The "no rust" part of it puts you way ahead of the game. Since you bought it with no engine you can do what ever you want with it. Maybe by spring you will have it on the road and hitting local car shows. Come on up to the Green Bay area and maybe we will run into each other. This season of crusing is coming to an end, unfortunatly. Another month and most of our 3rd gens will have to be in storage.

Thanks! unfortunetly I have found a tiny bit of rust in the floors boards, but nothing a little cutting, welding, and flap wheeling cant fix. It did come with a motor, but it came with what Id put in it anyhow, so thats the advantage I have. Also my plan is to have it out to some car shows next year, and definetly out to green bay!

Re: Calling all WISCONSINITES

Hi Guys -

Been on ThirdGen for about 1 1/2 years, but never saw this thread until today. Great to see all these great cars are here in the Badger State. I am the original owner of an '88 Trans Am with 305 TPI 5-speed, WS6 performance package, and T-tops.

I'm in the Madison area, but I really haven't seen too many third gens out the pavement for awhile. Good to know there are still some around the rest of the state.

Here's a photo I took last year. (added the graphics in Photoshop)

Thanks! Yes I took the pic myself. Photography is another hobby of mine and I've learned how to do some cool things in Photoshop. I took this at a park, but I removed the background and blended in the sky and adjusted the color.

They all need TLC it seems. My car was sportin red oxide primer for over 5 years before I painted it. I was more interested in performance over looks.

-let me know if you run across a great interior - preferably sandstone color. Light gray will do also. I'd be interested in the whole interior if it's in excellent condition....the interior I have is decent for what it is...considering it's almost 30 years old, but it looks kinda run down.

As a last resort, I'd even change to red...but I'd need literally every piece to change color like that.

I have a bunch of good stuff I'd trade also...louvers, carbs, etc..PM me if you come across anything like that.

Re: Calling all WISCONSINITES

Live between Milwaukee and Madison. Have a '91 TA convert with about 19,000 miles. Hasn't been on the road lately because of health issues (both mine and the car). Better now (I got a kidney and the TA got fuel pump and injectors). We'll keep watching this thread for activities next spring/summer. Have good Holidays all.

Re: Calling all WISCONSINITES

It is officially spring in Wisconsin! I took the Camaro out of hibernation yesterday. Connected the battery, pumped the old Q-jet a couple of times, spun it over for a few seconds and it roared to life.
It felt pretty good to be shifting gears again.

Yes, it is official, but here in the Madison area is still feels like winter.

I too went and started up my '88 Trans Am on Saturday for the first time since mid-November. I keep a trickle charger on it and it started up like I had only parked it there the day before. Great to hear it come to life.

Grew up in Colfax, Hung out in Bloomer, lived in Elk Mound for a few years after the military, and now live South of Black River Falls. I have family and friends in that area. Unfortunately, my car isn't quite done yet...

This is in 2 days. W00T! So excited.

Just ask for Bill, I'll likely be working Tech in the mornings before 8am, and Grid until the afternoon. After that I'll be down in registration likely.

Re: Calling all WISCONSINITES

Spring is officially here in Wisconsin. Fired up both cars today and cleaned out the garage (sort of). Managed to find a reason to run both cars into town. First car show of the season tomorrow, NWTC car show, I'll be there passing out fliers for our car show in Aug. (Prince of Peace church picnic & car show aug. 11). Summer will be here before we know it.Name:  5-3-13016_zpse9bf9740.jpg
