I just made a post about myself and the bonneville that I picked up in the your ride section.

I'm 26 years old, originally from the motor city. I have owned a S/C 3800 in grand prix form and know that they are without a doubt one of the best engines ever made (maybe beside the ls1 :D). I'm in the army infantry and am currently stationed at Fort Campbell, KY with my wife and unborn daughter.

I've been a gearhead, and GM junkie since before I can remember and love taking on projects. I have a 99 Camaro SS an 07 Trailblazer SS and a 2003 Bonneville. The camaro has a catback, slp lid, cat delete, HID's, black berger panel, and coming this summer is long tubes, a built trans w/nitrous converter, a nitrous cam, ls6 intake, 150 shot and a tune. The trailblazer is the wife's ride and I drive it when its raining, or when I don't feel like driving the camaro. It has a 4 inch fenderwell intake, electric fans, a trans cooler, resonator delete, and a tune. I'm not going to do anything more to that. The bonneville is going to get a few mods, but not too many. I plan on tinting the windows and taillights, I already did the clear corner headlight mod. I'll probably put a stereo in it and I'm going to port the LIM when I do the gasket and put on a new UIM to avoid any future problems. I'm going to put a fwi or just a cold air on it. Nothing extreme or anything, just a little power improvement.
I'm also in the middle of restoring this cool 1971 snap on tool box I picked up. That should be done soon, I'm pretty excited to have it done.

I look forward to learning a lot from you guys in the community, and will keep everyone updated about the Bonneville as I make progress.

Check out my thread in the your ride section to check out my bonnie!!
