Been a while. Figured I would post a pic of the famous fiberglass box. So anyway, not much happened the year at junior college. I went through a series of jobs at ISP's and computer repair places. I was making pretty good money at the time (for me) and starting getting the white 92 like I wanted. I'm not sure if the junk yards liked me or hated me. 1: I purchased a lot of stuff they normally wouldn't sell, and 2: I asked about a lot of stuff they normally wouldn't sell. I think the realization that older cars would come with cool options mine didn't just blew my mind. Every time I went I would find something new I didn't even know existed. I think the conversation usually went like:

 Me: "I need some firebird parts"
 
 Counter guy: "What were you looking for?"

 Me: "I don't know, where do you keep your F-bodies?"

 I think I wound up coning my way past insurance regulations at every junk yard on the coast. As far as  I can remember, within a year I got the following just from junk yards:

   Glass T-tops
   Black interior
   4th gen seats
   WS6 Sway bars
   Wonder-Bar
   Carpet
   Aluminum drums
   
 And countless of other things. They were plentiful and cheap back then, wish I would have stock piled someparts! 

 I met my wife that year and followed her up to USM to finish out my college career. Most history then.
