not much of anything, just an RPM airgap, med size oval port heads and headers.and a mild cam. Anything more and the car will twist a little more.

No, but they're Zed28s and IROC-Zeds :V

I gots a question- if you just bought a '74 Z28, that makes 4 cars for you, right? How do you get the money for that, and how can I get in on it? :/

If I were 60 grand richer, I'd consider it- as it is I've got $8000 left to pay on the IROC-Z and $4000 debt on top of that, and I take home no more than $1800 a month.

Life, she is fun :/ Where was that Alberta Advantage again? I must've missed it.

Although I applied at a few Chevy dealerships so we'll see what happens there.

That's after taxes, ei, cpp, union dues, etc [&:]

$14.17/hour gross after four years working with Safeway- applied straight out of high school. Needless to say it's not a job I want to stay with- I only do it now until I can get another job secured.

D'you hire drivers with a Class 5 GDL license? I'm not eligible for the full class 5 until Oct. 2009 >.>

Seems like I'm gonna be delivering mail for awhile in any case- looking at $21/hour to start and I start training on the 3rd- 'course, I'm open to other suggestions should something better come along

Just got the call Thursday morning- been out in rural Saskatchewan for a couple days after that- 'tis a good thing I didn't take the IROC. Dirt roads, broken roads, off-road driving... had a relative's SUV for the trip, and it sucked to drive the thing, but...
