Default female back to the forums!

ive been a member since 2005 but havent gotten on in a year cause guys can be cruel on here cause a chick is intimidating.i have 3 years of automotive schooling and 1 year of welding. im a lube tech at midas i currently have a job offer from hibdon though. im so bad at these intro things i guess you can say i am better at talking about cars rather than myself. so let me skip that part and go straight to my car! i have a 1998 Ls1 trans am its a long story of what happened to it but (threw rod, parts got stolen) i will tell you what my beast has now.

new Ls1 holden engine
Ls6 heads
Ls6 intake
magic stick V.4 cam 239/242
.651/.608 LM
114LSA
1 3/4" LT quick trip pacesetter headers
3" ORY
50 series delta flow
3600 stall torque converter
373 gears

so that is the main things. i love my car so much that i wouldnt trade it for a new camaro. im in the process of saving money to get the engine put back in and the tranny needs to be beefed up. but its hard cause i was so close but 3500 bucks in money and parts was stolen from me so i am trying to get those steps back. if you want to see pics of it look in my profile.

Wow, not to sound like an idiot, but you really are attractive. And your car also looks really good - very nice job.

How old are you? You said you had a few years experience, but you look really young.
