Okay, so it was a 305TBI car....do you still want that motor in there or something a bit more powerful? Those TBI(Throttle Body Injection) cars are slow, you could make it a TPI(Tuned-Port Injection) car fairly cheap and it'll be much more powerful, and I believe is better on gas as well. Just let us know when you want to take a look at it. You free on sunday??

ha its like u read my mind! lol i was actually thinking about that TBI. i wanted to to TPI but i wasnt sure how that goes. id like to do that, how much would that run for? i want to go look at it again, but the problem is that i prolly wont have the 400 to buy it until next week. hopefully he wont sell it by then. and yes i am free on sunday, why whats up?

That roller has been for sale for probably a year now so I doubt it's going to sell by next week. I'm really not sure how much it would cost to put a TPI system on there, you'd have to ask Mr. TPI(Brian).
Cool, if you want to go look at it on sunday i'll ask him if he is available then to show it to you. It's also the super bowl and Brian and I havn't seen you in a while and it would be cool to hang out. It's been a LONG time.
I may be buying another car and if I do, i'm going to try doing the paint and body work. If all goes well I may be able to do yours as well. Cut the costs of labor as much as possible.

Brian said that he saw a TPI system on craigslist for 400, i think ima wait a lil bit to put that on. Sunday sounds good to go see that body if hes available. and of course ill go chill with you guys for the game, but the problem is that id need a ride. and i live a bit far from where ur at..well just let me kno. and i hope everything goes well with the body and paint on the other car u might buy. thatd be awesome if it works out!

Well, it may be sold by the time your able to buy the TPI system but i'm sure we could find another one for a decent price. Don't worry about needing a ride, it's no problem at all, i'll pick you up and drop you back off when your ready to go back home. Patty has the day off also so she'll be there as well. I hope the paint and body works out too because that would be a HUGE money saver. We'll talk more about your plans and what you've got available to swap over on sunday. Is the car at the same location that i'll be picking you up at? I'd like to take a look at it.

Krystal, I found an even better deal. Corey, our roommate has a roller camaro, he said he would let it go for $100. He is free on sunday also and lives on our side of town. Send me a PM with directions to your place or call if you can. I'll be out late tonight so who knows what time i'll be waking up tommorow. Is 11am too early?
