Re: Florida thirdgens
No problem pulling motor let me know. I'm in "carriage hill" subdivision. You' re welcome to swing by and shoot the breeze. I'll be tinkering with mine this weekend. As for motors, several available- they would need rebuilding but the price is right.

There is a regular every wednesday get-together from 7-9 at a local restaurant(a different one each week), tonite it is a the five guys hamburger shop at southside. I'm not sure if I will make it tonite or not.
There are also cruise-ins each week on Saturdays from 5-9 at different locations around the city. The info is on the river city f-body site also.
I'm in Mandarin, where are you located?

Re: Florida thirdgens
Hey I live in loxahatchee yeehaw lol. Does anyone know a good mechanic for my whole family that works on Duramax Diesels, Toyotas, and of course Camaros in the palm beach area? We went to a shop that was actually recommended by my mom's friend (Fail), for a power steering problem but they actually made it much worse, it moaned like a whale every time you turned and they said it would go away... It didn't (We sold the car it was so bad and we didn't want to go back to them again).

Re: Florida thirdgens
i'd imagine so! i've seen three others driving around cape coral... and i'm sure there's quite a few hidden in garages.
i'm hoping everyone will come out to the unveiling of the 2010 camaro today!

Re: Florida thirdgens
I am in Wesley Chapel.
I do not have an Fbody at the moment. I am on the hunt for a 91 formula. I have a want ad in the classifieds. I have owned at least 10 Fbodys over the years. At least one from all 4 gen's. I have just been out of the game for a few years.

Re: Florida thirdgens
Hi
I'm lookin for a mechanic in the S Fla area (S Miami-Dade) who has GM experience & needs a side job "waking up" my L98 92 GTA.
It's been a garage queen for almost 4 years with 57K on the clock. Like to get her running again. Possibly sell her.

Re: Florida thirdgens
I'm from Florida too, Orlando. Lived around there all of my life but I'm living in Oklahoma right now, gone back to school but thinking about moving back to Fla when this is over. Got a 91 RS that has been in the works for years, hard to do when its your daily driver. Hoping Florida hasn't enacted the new emission standards I've heard about (California's). What do ya'll know about this?

Re: Florida thirdgens
i've heard a little about the emmissions standards... but i don't think anything's set yet, or i'd be ****ed!
mine's a daily driver too... it's tough, but it does feel good to wake up knowing that you're going to drive your camaro today, tomorrow, and the next day, and so on.

Re: Florida thirdgens
Has anyone attended the "Party on the River" at Green Cove Springs near Jax?
It's on Memorial Day weekend and I'm thinking of attending. I haven't been to a car & bike show for over a year and when I did a Google search for "FL car shows" that show had a ton of links.
I was wondering more because I am a car guy, but if it's more of a biker rally, then I'll feel kinda awkward (not that I'm not any way..."Maladroit") <--
If you've attended one can you comment on it?
Info is listed at www.crippledog.com
(BTW: I swear that I am not pimpin' this show. I really do want some info on it!)
