The 2010 Third gen Roundup was a great success, we had 33 82-92 F-bodies there from all over the state, which made it the largest gathering of its kind in the southern United States! This year we are adding a group shot, high res car shots for each participant, and thanks to our corporate sponsorship partners, we're going to do a car show! Please join us at Duke's on the 21st of May this year for more food, fun, and F-body fellowship!

And if you don't have a thirdgen, But you like them!
COME OUT ANY WAY, And join in the fun!

I think this deserves to be a Sticky

 

Great!

Thanks,
Robbie

 

Love it! Thanks for the annoucement and the sticky!

 

I'll be there, of course, with the convertible and some STS units.

Hello,
Did you reply over on TGO? The official thread is over there. So that we can have a better head count!

Or you can follow the links in here www.thirdgenroundup.com

And sorry what is "STS" units?

 

I just posted on TGO for Mark to add me to his list (no idea why I'm not on it yet, we decided months ago that we will host another statewide meet here in Central Texas ).

STS units are the famous Sequential Turn Signal units that you can install on your car to make your tail lights sequence with the turn signal. Just search TGO for STS and you'll find a bunch of videos. For illustration, here is a video of a Mustang with STS: [autostream]http://autostream.com/camaroz28/?page_type=firebirdplayerthumbnail&framepage=512&t ransactionid=1300200199-13016468184&posted_by=BigBadLou_camaroz28.com[/autostream]

I thought you were talking about the rear mount turbo stuff

 

Nope, nope, just the Sequential Turn Signals.
Are you coming to the round up? If you'd like a unit or more, let me know, so that I know how many to pre-manufacture. It's only 2 months away!

Lou

 

i'm really tempted... how difficult is it to change a turn signal light to red on a camaro

 

Not as hard as one might think:



I did it in a few hours (with great attention to detail, otherwise I could have done it in 20 seconds :-D ).
I used Testor's Candy Apple Red translucent paint and was happy with the results. I need to do some polishing, though.

Lou

 

suuu. weeet..

love that look... is it legal in texas?

 

Very good question. Never checked with the DPS or DOT but by following basic logic, I made a safe assumption that if other vehicles on the road can have red turn signals (see the GTAs), I am not breaking any laws.
I just could not bear looking at an orange turn signal on an American muscle car, for crying out loud. I simply had to fix that.

Back on topic: my car will be available to view at the roundup so if anybody has any questions about the tail lights, I can explain what I did and how I did it and can show the results in person.

Lou

 

beautiful man. see you there. I'm not worried about inspection, BTW, I have another set of non grids I could throw on there if I had to

 

it is this weekend.................
