Me and a friend of mine do a good bit of stereo install's and can get equipment (CD players subs etc.) for a discount to pass on.

E-Mail me here for questions.

I do alot of stereo and aftermarket 12v electronics work. Been in the field for about 11 years,have my 1st Class MECP certification,along with a few other various certificates pertaining to my type of work. I do a lot of custom high end audio/video systems,gps,fiberglass,security,shaved handles,etc. I also do window tint,headliners,and custom vinyl work. I warranty all work and I am a lot cheaper than other places. I have MANY references and pics of my work. The audio/video system I designed and installed in my Ford Expedition has been featured in the Dec 03 issue of Ford Truck World magazine. You can contact me via email at blk91z@yahoo.com.

Bruce89TA · 04-29-2003, 01:48 AM

Just about anything at this point. I've done a motor swap and various mods. My supercharger comes to mind. Porting and polishing.

Lots of electrical stuff including stereo installs.

Miscellaneous framing and construction work, I could build you a carport or a ramp to drive your car up on to.

Jack of all trades, master of none. Just kinda do it for fun, not for money. I'll say that Jason does some good work. I've seen his Iroc and he's done a helluva lot to it.

I live in Paris right now, but I will be moving back in short time.

I will help/do anything with a thirdgen. I really dont care what it is, as long as its a thirdgen. Well maybe some minor fourthgen modifications.

Stereo
Engine
Drivetrain
Exhaust
Detailing

You name it and I will let you know if I can do it. If not, I will point you in the right direction.

Even if you need some house work done, Alarm, Audio, anything low voltage, I can help you out. I've been in that business for 5 years now. I worked for Hillcrest High Fidelity for abot 2 years and got a great deal of experience from that company alone.

PM me with any questions or answers.

Corry · 05-23-2003, 11:34 AM

I wont say I have tremendous experience, but I know my way around cars. If nothing else, I can serve as an extra set of hands. I wouldn't charge, since my services are limited, and since my schedule might not match up. I will be around Texas at least until July, after that, its all up in the air. Depends on where I decide to finish up my college (will be either UTD or back home to PennState)

Rock90rs · 07-02-2003, 04:19 PM

I worked in a shop doing just about everything for several years.. never went and got any certs

But will do tune-ups, brake-jobs, accessory replacement, catbacks, most intake work, rear end swaps, and all the good stuff I can do without a lift. ( AKA transmission work, unless u have a lift, then I can do most anything) Interior restoration I can do as well, doorpanels, carpet, etc. Also have someone that i send paint work out to (He has done 3 different cars for me, MY personal vehicles), so GFX updates and things as such i can arrange as well.
Just ask I'll let u know what I can do for you.

kewl_blades · 07-11-2003, 09:29 AM

CAD work. 2D to 3D design. (AutoCAD, Mechanical Desktop, Inventor, SolidWorks, Pro-E, CATIA, Think3)
If you have a part or an assembly that you would like to market (for profit) or share with others (for fun), I can do whatever is necessary to make it happen. Drawings, pictures, solid interactive 3D models, and blue-prints.
I am a member of NTTGA.org and live in Arlington, TX (Dallas-Ft. Worth area). Currently I am organizing a database of modifications/repairs/upgrades available for the 3rd Gen F-body and it should be the most detailed, exact, and COMPLETE for each year model (not just a generic build for 1982-1992).
I work for trades (parts and/or labor). I also build/repair/upgrade computers (hardware and software). If you can't find a computer program, I most likely can.

1bad91Z · 01-08-2004, 06:15 PM

I can do mail order PROM / ECM tuning (85-92 F-bodies TPI).

But, as you all know, mail order chips will only "rough in" a tune (every car and motor combo is different!).

It's better if you bring the car to me that way I can datalog (scan) your car, then burn a few chips to get the tune as good as possible.

PM me or shoot me an e-mail if you are interested.

I can also do almost anything needed period on a thirdgen (except paint and body work, cause I prefer not to do that). LS-1 in a thirdgen anyone?

Mike

I wouldn't say I have professional experience, but I know my way around cars and I'm very mechanically inclined. If nothing else, I can serve as an extra set of hands. I'd love to help and even learn a thing or two while in the process.
I've done most of the basics: Motor swaps, Motor builds, any mechanical accessory swap/fixes, Brakes, Rear-end swaps, Tranny removal/installs, Familiar w/all suspension swap/upgrades, Interior swaps, Stereo system installs, Minor Wiring exp.
I also build/repair/upgrade computers (hardware and software).
I'm a MCSA/MCSE and currently work for ExxonMobil in the IT department.

63_SS_TPI · 10-06-2004, 02:19 AM

There's not much I won't or can't do when it comes to automotive projects. I'll take on jobs as simple as a tune up and as complicated as a full restoration. I'm doing this on the side, so work will be completed in the evenings, weekends and periodically on days off during the week.

My work includes, but is not limited to:
Engine swaps, tune ups, setting carbs, timing curves, custom plug wires, basically anything engine related. Clutch or tranny swaps, rearend swaps, brake jobs and suspension rebuilds. I am able to trace and fix electrical gremlins, wire and install stereo systems or alarms. I enjoy and take pride in my paint and body work. I will repair minor blemishes or do a complete repaint as well as full detail jobs, inside and out. When it comes to paint, I'm not limited to just automotive work. Interior work includes carpeting, refinishing interior plastics and soon to include custom seat covers and head liners.

If you need metal fabrication, that can be handled too. This includes welding, subframe connectors, back halves, roll cages, minor exhaust work, etc...

I pride myself in being fair, will treat it as if it were my own and will do it right the first time. If a job comes up that I'm not comfortable with or don't think I can complete it properly, I'll tell you up front. My prices are very fair, PM or e-mail me for more details.

pasky · 10-27-2004, 07:59 PM

I can hook anyone up with CAGS or any other feature deletion for OBDI LT1 PCM's. Just pay the cost of shipping for to and from. I accept donations
