After hearing about the mild turn out at the nats due to many members workign on their cars, i was just curious and decided to make a poll to see the overall spread of members with running f bodies compared to members with non-runnign f bodies, and by running i mean as in with a 5 min notice you could drive the car anywhere in NJ safely.

I am on the non-running list, and its been about a year...


EDIT: i just realized now i should have put a third choice for those who dont even own an fody(ls1 swap cars, imports,grandprix, etc) and i cant seem to edit the poll, so sorry, admins, if you can, add a 3rd choice for "no f-body" please.

Actually, you would need 4 choices.

1 - Running
2 - Not Running
3 - No Fbody
4 - Both 1 and 2.

Put me down for 4!:mrgreen:

Hm.. .it runs and I'll drive it... but bad brakes, drivetrain problems, exhaust leaks, missing lugnuts lol etc makes it necessary to have a "yea but my **** is ghettorigged" option

The Monte is running and driveable! Got about 200 miles now on the new ZZ4-cammed 355 TPI motor. I like it. Need to do it's first oil change, put on the bellhousing/clutch shield, change one burnt plug wire, and tighten up the oilpan bolts.

Haven;t driven the 97 since oct.2001 when i blew the motor in Bowling Green and decided to make it fast.Its been at Bob Kaspers for a year and a half, almost done then i just have to wire the motec. The 84 runs great, just being held hostage at Vanishing Point since Christmas. The 95 Formula is at the shop getting a new fuel pump fo the last 3 weeks. Would have done it myself but my garage is occupied by my cousing 92 RS that i took apart over the winter and have been too busy to finish
