I'd love for you to drop by my parents' place in Riverview (south of Tampa), and yell at my dad about not shipping my Mach to me in Seattle yet. Damn Mach has been a 3 year project and it's almost done, and I don't know when I'll ever get to drive it!!!
Other than that, just enjoy yourself. It's a good time of year to visit... 3 months from now it'll be a freakin' sauna again.

I just checked out your site and you have some good links there. I'm in Riverview also. I plan on building my '72 Mach into a pro-touring car some day. Just trying to absorb info for now.

Old Town goes off every Saturday night, 300 to 500 cars. Lots of old JUNK as many by any old car old enough to get in, just to get in, but lots of nice stuff too. Other then Old Town, I cannot think of anything going on in July. Daytona is a ghost town if there is no special event so do not waste your time. NPD is really nothing to see, tiny showroom, a couple 2nd gen cars and a couple display cases.
About the closest to July event I can think of is there is a No Bull race on August 6 at the midnight drags.
There are groups that cruise sometimes, moslty strret / race rides, but with no schedule and moving locations. You can check in with me as we get closer and I will know what is going on, if anything. If anything is going on, if we are going out, you can catch a ride with us if you want to.Last edited by ProdigyCustoms; 03-07-2005 at 04:37 AM.

Frank, where in Orlando are you located?
I live here in Daytona. Haven't had a chance to read much here on PT lately, going to night school for welding M-W.
Love to come check out your projects.
Let me know.

We are just off the Altamonte exit about 10 minutes. About 45 minutes from Daytona. When you get ready to come over, just give a ring, PM, Email,Smoke signal, Skywriter, you get the picture.
