New from the Florida Panhandle

[dynodanmanda79]

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.



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



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


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


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.

Slow and steady wins the race. Cars look nice. Welcome to the site and keep us posted

Welcome to board Dan! I lived in Crestview from 2003-10, I hope to be back there in July or so. There are a few members in the area.

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

Yup, long time no see! I'm in an I.T. role now, but still working for the schools.. I still have my GN, and I've added a 70 Chevelle.

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!!
