fenton...fenton... sounds familiar. Are you in highschool? I remember hearing that name tossed around back in my high school sports days. Maybe Tyler Fenton is the name i'm thinkin of.

6 speed? eh just toss a built th350 in there, and bang the gears

I graduated last year, and am a freshmen over at Central College, so i'm still in the area. My name is Christian Huffman. Who all do you know from the big N.S.?

Tyler is my cousin,. and yes you would ahve heard his name tossed around since he was a stud. Personally, I like cluthces so I guess its just a matter of fun-ness. I know most of the fergusons, Brett Morris, the Stouts, and Alisha Ehret...woo woo...shes a dandy...thats justa few of them.

All in all the swap went well. Other than the 3 foot flames that were coming out of the hood when I tried to set the float levels on my 750 Holley. Gas and hot headers don't mix well. Maybe I'll run into ya at one of the cruise events in the area this summer.

Des Moines...sold the thirdgen last week. Just have the 01 left in my sig...

Just a FYI for those that dont know...I host an annual F-Body ONLY gathering here right by Des Moines. 2005 will be the third year of the gathering. Last year we had a little over 70 f-bodies from all over the midwest.

Please consider coming to my show, as a few of the guys in this thread, as said abovr, can vouch for this show.

I gaurantee you will have fun!

Deffinatly everyone has to make it to Josh's get together. I have been there every year, and it just keeps getting better. I hope some of you guys can make it out to the tracks with us some this year. Such as Eddyville on 4/29/05 .
For the guys that asked, the White WS6 is an 02, has 28k miles, and far from stock
