Welcome!

The forum is set-up in such a way that you need a few posts before posting pictures. It keeps the spam down. I think you may only need 5 or ten posts...

Pan-handle near Destin.

I am retired AF (out of Hurlburt) and lived in Crestview from 03-10. There are a few members in that area from FWB to Pensacola. What kind of car do you have?

[Bygblok]

AF guy here in Pensacola. I teach an A&P school in Pensacola and work with the reserve unit out of Keesler on J-model 130's. Show us a ride!!

Andrewb70, thanks for the info. I tried several times to post a photo as suggested in the "Welcome to our Message Board" narrative but, I see they are just kidding.

130fe, Thanks for the response. Yep...Crestview. Son-in-Law is at Hurlburt. Wife and I are here chasing grand babies.

Project car is a 1988 IROC-Z. Many mods in the works.

This is what started it all back in 2003. A ZZ4 350 with all the TPIS intake goodies. It's old skool but hey, so am I. When I put it in the car it became painfully obvious the engine bay was lacking. One thing led to another and well,...you know how it goes.

Cool iroc! I sold my 3rd gen a few years back after dropping in a 6.0 LSx motor, 9", coil overs, tubular k-member and all the suspension. Car was pretty cool but I went too far to enjoy it.

[rurnt]

Thanks. Sounds like you had quite the 3rd Gen. Always really liked the 70 Z28. Had a 70 Dart w/340 and 6-pack. Always liked those little cars.

A lot has changed since I started this project. It will be tracked occasionally (HPDE) and driven on nice days. The polished items are sealed but I'm liking a brushed finish these days and will probably change things up.

Welcome! :D

Thanks Josh, I plan to use Ridetechs rear coil-overs.
