There's a couple of Spokane guys, and I think there used to be a couple in Idaho. Don't know if they're around anymore at all though. Most of us hang out on our own site. www.cascadecrew.org check it out.

I personaly run a Moser bolt in 9 inch tis stock width, tis going to be expensive because you cant use your stock brake kit on the 9 inch i have about $3200 with the rearend and brakes. It works great with the power i make and the transbrake.

Re: Anyone out there from the Boise area

have not been on the board recently - I live in McCall - 84 Z-28 305HO - original owner - how about setting up a Saturday afternoon/evening get together for cokes and burgers at maybe Bad Boy Burger on Fairview? maybe over Christmas holiday, or for sure this spring? - if any interest, I will volunteer to help coordinate an informal gathering McCall burger run. boby47

Re: Anyone out there from the Boise area

Nervermind guy backed out, I couldn't get it right this minute so now they are going to crush it. Sounds fishy to me. I would guess they got some much interest that they are now going to raise the price. We will see.

Re: Anyone out there from the Boise area

David Agee who lives in Nampa wants to form a F-body Club. I told him I would go, he said another lady was going to come. I told him he should post over here but he hasn't yet.

He has posted it here.

http://www.camaroforums.com/m_169264/tm.htm

and here

http://thirdgentech.com/showthread.php?t=844

Not sure why he hasn't posted it here yet.
