New to the boards.... even though I've been reading just about every post on here trying to learn some things so I can build my 1970 RS Camaro..... She is pretty rough right now.... I'm trying to decide what tires I want to run on it so I can get started on rebuilding the rear subframe for a new 4-link and a super low ride heigth. I will start a project tread her in a few days to show were I am at this point.

Welcome Ryan, I live in Crestview. There are several of us up here in this area. Try and let us know if you need anything specifically and we can probably find it. Do you ever go check out the cruise on 9 Mile Rd in P-cola next to the Burger King on Sat nights? There are a couple of good shows coming up, this weekend at the Navarre High School and one next week (Sat) at the Eglin AFB Armament museum. I know Danny will be at the Navarre one and I think both of us will be at the Eglin one.

I actually live righ there off 10 mile. I usually go up to BK, never to show just to see what was new. I try to get out to Eglin whenever there is a show but I think that I'm going to miss this next one. It will all depend on the kids activities.
