Default (JUST AN IDEA) dfw mod party???

Its just an idea to toss out but I had mention the idea of getting a group of cars together to have a mod party? The size of the job would have to be limited as we wouldn't get a lot of cars done if we all got stuck on a 6hr build! Lol, anyways I seen the vette guys do this a few months back and thought to my self how this would be a good idea on how I can get some hands on experiance by working on our cars.. ideas are welcome and I would offer my garage! Its not the biggest garage but I can fit 2 cars in it and 2 in the alley driveway too? I think it would be fun! We could get a few beers and make it a day of turnin wrenches... come peops chime in? And adam your more then welcome to be a part of this if you want! I'm sure there are a few of us that would like to get some stuff done the the V

If you need some help with mods let me know. I'm always in for helping a fellow V owner out.

What are you looking to install?

Well, for now its just maintenance work. I have to install a new starter but I'm still waiting for it to come because its on back order. I plan on installing my shift shift eliminator and I just found out that I may have a small radiator leak so im in the process of having that checked out within the next week... Really I just wanted to see if I could get some V guys together so I can learn how to work on my own car... I have a guy that will do the starter for $70 if I cant find someone to show me how to do it.. If you want to help then I would for sure be willing to even do the work if you just tell me what I need to do? lol, I sound like an idiot but I have to learn somehow... lol

Not many DFW V owners that check this forum that often.

Next mod for me is TSP 228r cam. SNL is doing the install. Going in next month!

This is good to see guys. I wish there were more V owners near me. I would like to try some maintenance things (bleeding the clutch, replacing diff fluid etc) on mine but I've never done it myself and it's about time I learn.

Ooowwww.... I would LOVE to learn the install on that! I've also wanted to do a turbo/supercharger install and not necessarily in that order! lol

I came across a thread a few months ago on the vette forum and they were doing this! I thought it was a great idea and a good way to meet other people that love to work on cars and also for those like me who want to learn...

We all need to agree on a weekend day and plan it out so that we can guarantee a good turn out! Im offering my place! Its not the biggest but I could fit 4 cars in the back. 2 in the garage and 2 in the driveway... I think this would be a good way for all of us to finally meet, have fun and do what it is that we all like to do! Work on our cars and go for a cruise after!

Nice, my buddy Danny lives off Independence in McKinney. He and I will be swapping stock to Creative Steel motor mounts. We're trying to set up a motor mount party in April.

Beer will be provided.
