My name is Dan and i'm 24 years young, I'm new to this forum but not new to the area of which I call home here in Crestview, Fl. Been living in the area almost my whole life, and this is where i've bought both of my old cars.

My 1989 Camaro Iroc-Z with a 5.3/MN12 6-speed swap.
70036
70037

And my 1979 Malibu currently with a GM Performance Parts 350/TCI Streetfighter TH350
70038
70039

Here's the 5.3 I plan on installing in the Malibu along with a 4L80E
70040

18x8 and 18x9.5 Boss 338's going on the Malibu with 245/40's up front and 295/35's in the rear
70041

I will get a build thread started on the Malibu when I get a chance. It's going to be a very slow build seeing as I'll be sending my wife to school the next few years, but hopefully we'll be rolling in the dough when she graduates.

Hey man how you been? How's the car running? Haven't been on Thirdgen.org in a while. I've turned my attention to the Malibu for now so the wife and I can have a third running car in case one of our primary cars are down, she doesn't know how nor wants to learn to drive a manual transmission so the camaro is going to sit until the malibu is done. I'll get back to fixing the camaro back up when the wife gets done with school

Welcome to the site Dan, nice to see another Florida guy here. We are in Tampa so let me know if your ever down here! The Malibu is going to look great once you mount the new wheels for sure!

What do you have planned for the suspension on the Malibu?

Thanks! I would love to go with tubular upper and lower control arms for the front and boxed control arms for the rear end, upgraded sway bars, lowering springs, etc. I plan on going all out

my wife's not at Bellview Middle anymore either, she's at Pine Forest HS now. If you bring the Chevelle out to BK look for us with the Camaro. It'll be the only yellow 70 out there from what we know right now!! Good to see you're still around man!!

I've thought about starting up a Facebook car group for the Panhandle if anyone is interested...

Our old one was called Gulf Coast Muscle.. but I think a new name would be cool..

the old GCM site was fun James. Don't see why it would hurt to do something "new".

keep facebook out of the deal and it will work better, a lot of people including me dont like facebook, if a big enough crowd gets on the site maybe a monthly get together/swap meet car show might work great,,,,just a thought

Sounds good, my neighbor is already starting something like that at his Buisness and he'd be happy to have more cars come.

Guys I started a group on Facebook if you're interested. It's called Gulf Coast Muscle. PM your email address to me and I'll shoot you an invite or you can join if you're good at searching on Facebook.

It will be a nice way to keep track of local events as well. . .
