I just purchased my first 1987 Grand National! I have been building hotrods since I was a kid but I love my GN way more! I took it to the track in September and ran 14.17 completely stock. I want to get this thing in to the high tens and be somewhat streetable. I live in Grand Island Nebraska and was wondering if there are others from my area that would help me. Thanks!

I live in Aurora. I have an 84 pretty much stock that I reconditioned. Not used to going fast with what have, but would be willing to help if I can. PM me sometime so we can trade #'s if you want. I farm, so I am busy in the summer months, but have some time during winter.

There used to be quite a few TB's in the area. I remember going to a couple of GN-Mustang shoot-outs in Scribner back when Ken Mosher was putting them together. They used to get 10-12 pretty quick GNs & Ts there. I don't know anyone in the area anymore. I would recommend going to the track, and seeing who is out there with a TB.

I wish Scribner was still around. 
The nearest drag strip left out here is the 1/8th mile at MAM.
I'm half an hour south of Lincoln. Not sure what kind of help I could be, as I'm barely even making progress on my own car. There's a few turbo buick guys around here though. If you ever want some dyno time, tuning, or even some serious upgrades, give a call to Pat or Chad at The Shop, Inc. in Lincoln.

I knew you were a butt sniffer from way back
You don't have to be THAT close to a nebraskan to smell them.
I'm probably not making any friends in this thread...

Little town called Firth, just north and to the east of Cortland. Ever hear of a salvage yard called Watt's outside of Wymore? I'm told that guy has tons off G-bodies, but I haven't been there myself in over a decade. I need to head down there sometime.

Firth wow, used to go to the countryside coop there. There is another member in Fairmont up by York with a cool GN. BretH on here.
Oh yeah i been to watt's. But there's another closer to me, full of g bodies, great prices. I know the guys pretty well, i'm one of the few with "drive my own vehicle in there" privileges (though i no longer own a truck capable of making it around the place, NO rock). I live in Seneca. Used to own a couple shelby chargers, an 83 and an 85. Both were beyond saving though.
