More Riverview/Apollo Beach here. Anyone go to the DQ shows in Riverview?

I've been to the DQ show a couple times when I visit my parents (and my Mach 1) on a Friday evening, but I usually end up going a bit later for the import/drift/street racers that show up a bit later in the Home Depot parking lot. The folks that attend the DQ shows seem a bit stodgy, and sometimes just plain arrogant. But that may have just been the few *****s I talked to.

I did go to the NPD Silver Springs Mustang & Ford Round-up this weekend... nice gathering and it were way more modified than pure stock cars there, which was nice to see. That said, there wasn't one of what I'd call a proper pro-touring type car there... they always seemed to come up just shy of having the total package. But it's never bad to get a look at a couple real GT40s, Shelbys, Cobras, etc., and there were some very cool vintage drag, circle/dirt track, and even pro-street cars there.

Hey was up Miami in da house woof woof, I found out about this website this week and I just want to thank everyone who has been helping me out and giving me great advice like jy211, hivewax, dadtojays and wills55(your my boy blue) lol. Well I am restoring a 67 chevelle this is my first build and some how some way became a frame off resto I don't know how the hell. But its ok I am happy. So anyways I am searching for any engine builder in south florida. I have met with a few locals and I like keeping my options open and I rather deal with someone that someone on this forum has dealt with or know someone that they have dealt with. I did want to build my own motor but honestly I don't have the time to do it. Hivewax I keep your guy in mind but I rather deal with someone that specializes in building engines. But thank you for the recommendation. I heard your engine on your video and it sounds great. So people let me know I live in Miami and I rather stay local but South Florida is as far as I am willing to travel. Thanks once again. :grouphug:

I guess they've moved the Riverview DQ show to some other fast food joint around the corner (to the south on 301). But for info on meets and shows in the Tampa area, definitely check the "local events" section on TR: http://www.tamparacing.com/forums/local-events/ .

BTW, lately I've been hitting the USF meets. They've been pretty darn good, pretty good variety, even with some exotics and some serious muscle cars showing up. One night there were over 200 cars, including a Mercedes SLR McLaren.

darkbuddha: whats up man?! Whats the low-down on that 200 car USF meet?
Good to hear you'll have the car done soon. Better than me with the Mach... gonna go EFI, so I'm trying to figure a bunch of stuff out.

As for the USF meets, I haven't been to one since they started up again in August. By reputation, they've been doing well and moved to a new, more accessible parking lot. The ones I did attend did have big attendance, nice variety, no obvious stupidity, nice atmosphere, and all that. USF campus cops drove through a few times during the events (fine by me!). If you're interested, the best thing to do is visit/"Like" their facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/USF-Car-Meets/179515715423407 . BTW, there's a break-off organization that does events in the area as well, called Tampa Car Meets: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tampa-Car-Meets/184752531547360

One last thing... don't forget about Dupont Registry's Cars & Coffee event every month... usually pretty big with tons of cool stuff, usually including several pro-touring type cars: https://www.facebook.com/CarsAndCoffee . Next event is next Saturday, Feb 18.

My car isnt pretty enough to be in a show, but.like to drive it to shows. Im waitin on a new idler arm to throw my new steering together. Then I should be good to go for some shakedown runs. I ended up changing the wheels from the rendering you did for me. Car is finally getting to where I want it to be. Cant wait to get it sorted. What time is the Dupont show and where? I have to work but Ill get out about 2pm. Hopefully I can still make it.

Yep, the Dupont show is an early one. Bummer you have to work so early on a Saturday. Try one of the USF meets instead, or at least check out the tamparacing.com forums (http://www.tamparacing.com/forums/) for other events, meets, and shows. It's pretty active, and they actually have an auto-x/road race section with a good active group in there. There's tons of stuff going on nearly all the time, which is one of the best things about living Florida.

I bet that's true! But I also bet that if I were in LA, I wouldn't drive an hour and half to a Thrusday meet either. Besides, Thursdays are test & tune night at Bradenton Motorsports Park, which is only 25 minutes from my house.

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a reputable paint shop in S FL.
North Dade, Broward, Palm Beach

There are as many collision shops down here as there are Starbucks, so the trade is not geared towards custom paint at all.

Looking for leads, car is ready for ~80 hours of blocking and then BC/CC. I've replaced most metal...both qtrs, both rockers, both door skins...fenders-hood-front end have been stripped to bare metal.

Not looking to send it out of the area.
Thanks for suggestions!!

Anybody interested in meeting up at the NSRA Southeast Nationals next weekend (Oct. 12-14) at Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa? I went last year and there were alot of musclecars but only a few Pro-Touring, Streetfighter rides. This could be a cool event for us to get together for the 1st time.

Journey is playing Friday night at the Fairgrounds Amphitheater, and the Hard Rock Casino is about 1/2 mile from the event. There is a Ker's Winghouse across the srtreet from the fairgrounds which is a good place to grab some food and drinks and they are having UFC153 Saturday night.

You are absolutely correct and I apologize..... I just relocated to Florida and there is a chain called WingHouse I've known for awhile so I subconscious called it Ker's here. The weird thing is that I call it WingHouse??? The mind is a weird thing I guess...
