Newbie from South Florida
Hey guys, Im Dave from Miami. Just turned 30 years old, been into F-bodys for 11 years or so. Im a VW Mechanic by trade, Ive been doing it for 15 years. Im also a ASE Master mechanic.
I just purchased a 99 Formula rolling chassis from a friend of mine and Im going to start slowly putting it together as I get time and money. Ill be starting a build thread when the car is closer to coming together. The car is Blue, has t-tops, power windows/mirrors/seats and cruise. All and all, its a good starting point.
The engine Im putting together for it is a 6.0 LQ4 with LS2 Vette rods/pistons with ARP rod bolts. A mild ESP cam, ported 317 heads. The rest is up in the air as I put things together and find deals on other parts. Next up on the engine is putting the cam retention plate in, install a timing set and degree the cam.
Other vehicles I own include....
89 Camaro RS with a 358, AFR 195's, Holley Stealth Ram and XFI. Now that I have the formy, that might become the race car.
95 Ram 2500 12V with some work. Its the tow rig.
07 Charger RT Daytona. A few things done, its the daily.
