Held in Ft. DeSoto Park, 3500 Pinellas Bayway South, Pavillion #12, this gathering is open to all generations of Firebirds and Camaros. Camping is available, and many spaces have already been reserved by attendees, so make your ASAP. Visit the website for the details. Park admission is $5.

—Luis
I put noon as the time, but you can show up at anytime. I will try to be there when they open or just after they open so I can block off parking and setup some things before the crowd starts rolling in.

Wow Joe, you ARE closer to me now. Love the paint job! I need to take you up on that distributor too! Maybe I will have a weekend free here soon and tinker with her some more.
And, I may take you up on the offer to drive her down too, it would make more sense than making Jim come from Plant City.




The 2013 goes into production Monday! Super stoked!
you can have the dizzy. i dont need it. i know its good. i used to ride dirtbikes behind your neck of the woods with my kids off osteen/plathe rd. thanx for the compliment on the paint. did you get your new ride yet? castriota? my brother-in-law works there. send a PM if you need anything at all. thank you for getting this going.

Re: Florida Gathering!!

I believe the park opens at 730ish, there is a 5.00 fee to enter, not to mention the toll plaza fee coming off I-275

Re: Florida Gathering!!

Sorry guys, but a No-go for me. Have an upcoming 6 week job at the Crystal River Nuclear power plant, just hoping I dont wind up glowing when i get done.

Its 6 weeks of 12 hour days, 7 days a week, but its great money. Should have the car back on the road after then though if another meet crops up.

Just sucks cause the car runs great, and I wanna drive the hell out of it, just dont have the money for reg and insurance

Using some of the money to buy a complete 3.4l and complete 3400 engine for my 3.4/3400 Hybrid. Will give everyone something to look at when its done, plus the Classified project I'm working on ontop of the Hybrid; Its gonna be ridiculous and all anyone is gonna say is, "You did WHAT?"

Wish me luck guys

I know where three of those Iroc wheels are. Want me to check on the price for you? I could bring them to the show. Are they marked front/rear?

I thought it would be cool if we could set-up a little swap meet there. Not sure if the park would have a problem with that or not though.

thank you. i knew somebody would come through. yes, its marked rear. i would like to get a rim before the meet-up, if i can. is shipping one before the gathering a possibility? IDK if they would care about a little swap meet or not? probably not, if its kept small and neat.

Depending on the price, I know someone who would be interested in buying it from you. She will be in attendance as well.

Re: Florida Gathering!!

Wow, I was just kinda thinking out loud when I said that. I've been thinking a lot and maybe it's time for me to jump on another project so if I can get $2,000 for it I'll be able to do it. My 81 Camaro needs a lot of work and I need a lot of money so maybe this way I can invest on it that way. Obviously the price is negociable.

Re: Florida Gathering!!

Damn this sucks. Wish I could go. Looks like it's going to be a good gathering... and a ton of fun. I committed earlier this year to Rods N Rockets, the NPD GM Oktoberfest, the Pumpkin Run, and the Turkey Run, so it's going to be busy this fall. Hoping to see some of you yahoos at the latter three shows....

Have fun guys.

Re: Florida Gathering!!

I'm back to 50/50 on going. I dynoed my car yesterday and realized my smoking issue has returned and the smoke was coming out from the turbo manifold as well, so my sealing efforts have not succeeded. Also I wanted my new stall before the trip, but my boat got wrecked (insured thankfully) but I need to put some money towards a bottom paint job and the deductible.

Still might go, but we shall see..

Re: Florida Gathering!!

Got my campsite! I'm going to have to buy a new battery this week and do some work on the van too, because all our kids and 2 of their friends are going for a total of 9 people. If I can't sell my GTA maybe I can trade it for something else...

Re: Florida Gathering!!

luvofjah, will you be attending this gathering at Ft. De Soto?

Krisw, it is a nice show. There is a fee to register though. Best thing to do is be one of the first 500 to register and it's all free.

Re: Florida Gathering!!

Yup, we've talked on line a few years... now to meet the people...
I have done a lot of work on the car myself, and some stuff I have to pay others

I just drove it this last weekend with new MSD box installed (new injectors, ported plenum, EBL P4 Flash) it ran so smooth!

Nope...although I hope there ends up being more 3rd gens than any other. The Tampa 5th gen crew has quite a few members but they are already scheduled to go to Wiregrass that day so we won't be seeing them.

Re: Florida Gathering!!

Not good David. My flywheel is bad. Will need to limit how many times I start it before the event.
