My brother and i do work on the side here in town (College Station), no specific kind really. we do just about anything and take care of people realy well as far as prices go. just a brief overview but: heads, cam, complete motor rebuilds and swaps, paint and body...etc
if you need work done just call 979 694-7717

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.

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.

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)

willing to help out-cheap labor- I am a mechanic, work at a gm dealership in OKC, OK I can do just about anything, and if I am not sure about something or willing to do it, I can hook you up with the right person.
e-mail me at
chevylightnin@yahoo.com

i install stereo equipment. cd players, amps, speakers, subs, alarms, changers, moniters. just about anything. i even build boxes for the rear hatch well. i am mecp certified and i installed professionally for about 3 months last year before i moved. i can also do other automotive electrical stuff if you need. just ask and ill tell you if i can do it. ill be fair w/ pricing and willing to negotiate. i really just want to do it some more. its too bad no one is hiring. i would prefer not to have to go far, but for the right price i can go just about anywhere in the metroplex. just pm me or email at jacob_jaffe@hotmail.com and ill get back to you as soon as i can.

thanks,
jacob

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.

e-mail is cad_prof@yahoo.com

:rockon:

from brake jobs to motor swaps. i also swap carb to fi. provided all wiring, sensors, etc are available. work performed to spec(no shortcuts. i have good experince working with thirdgens. i now own 2 . most of my friends have thirdgens that need help . i can do almost any service to a vehicle(even non-thirgen). just finished a 86' Aerostar head job. boy nowthat was total PITA. it now runs great. Radio, speaker, and system installs are a cinch. no problem. i am in the San Antonio area. i also build, repair, and upgrade PC's. i also perform networking and network trouble shooting. email so i can help you out


Quality work only. no short cuts. i had to fire my "helper" for not listening and taking shortcuts.

A man of many trades, Well a few. If you need some computer work done, Website work done, need some concrete stained or some wood floors waxed, Autocad work (Great with houses and stuff but have done some mechanical(come by and take a look at some sometime.) and brake jobs. I am in garland and will work fairly cheap or for parts i want or need. Also sell Cheap cupid tweeters on ebay and around town. If you pick up only 5 bucks in town. Email me at card-kid@comcast.net.

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?

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.

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 .

I have delt with Jason from Texas Drivetrain Performance....i will have to say his work is awesome and you can't beat his prices. He has done many things to help out the performance of my car. Great overall person to deal with....would recommend him and his services to anyone!

While scanning the TPI tech board this morning, I ran across a thread that contained a link to a recent Car Craft article about doing up a thirdgen.

http://carcraft.com/projectbuild/116...tpi/index.html

While reading a little more of the thread, I found a post that contained a link to a whole list of magazine articles that some guy compiled.

http://thirdgen.org/techbb2/showthre...24#post1670524

I highly recommend that some of U guys (I know I have) save these links/ threads, whatever, for future ferfrence, especially some of the newbies that are going through the learning curve of getting to know and understand yur thirdgen as well as wanting good info for increasing performance!

As well don't foret about all the archived tech articles--many with excellent pics--here on the Thirdgen.org board. Go to the home page of TGO and find the stored tech articles and FAQ's --there's more info there than U could ever possibly use!
