I'd love to meet some Kansas 7 owners. There are a few in Lawrence, but I never see any of them actually being driven.

its a 1988 gxl, i would love to turbo but im in highschool and dont make enough money to do that. im trying to get rb headers and full exhaust, cai, and a new throttle body and thats about it for the engine. i plan on uping the suspension with some new shocks and springs, strut bar, new sway bars and a cambering kit.

I need to get working on the 7 again... It's been way too long. Unfortunately I have to use my money to buy some new tools for work right now. Unless somebody wants to sell me a cheap SE or GTU

Yea I went to a couple Fast Friday's during the summer. Do they still do them during the winter? And we should really get something going at a coffee shop or something. I've only met two other 7 owners while I've been up here.

If we can get decent amount of people, why don't we hold a meet at a coffee shop somewhere around town or something?

Hank! I'm working at Vintage Vettes right now in KC-MO, not sure how much longer I'll be there. I need your number I got a new phone and lost all my numbers. I hope we could reach the MAC guy, I wanna get a utility cart from them and shipping is ridiculous on those.

There could very well be a spot for yer ***, Matt-man. I have to replace a piece of 2" hose on the TII that cracked while being removed due to this fun cold **** we're moving into, but other than that it's ready to roll. If someone is inclined to, throw out a place/time idea for a meet.

I'm in Great Bend and seem to be the only one around here. Still working on the 79. Someday I'll actually get this thing done and make it to a meet.
