I'm going to give props to Whistler. He is exactly who you are looking for. I needed a crapload of interior parts, and he had everyone just sitting in the shop. Started out only looking for a fog light switch, ended up with me filling my car with interior parts that I didn't realize that he had on hand.

Great guy to do business with, and outstanding prices.

yep its going in the sport coupe in my sig...it will be around mid to late may when i need the parts...but if whistler is like a shop, then he should always be there. I will end up prolly takin stuff like pedals for the T56 swap from my auto, and im gonna get a fuel tank since its easier and i have an original carburated car and it needs the "t-line or something and electric fuel pump and all that crap...idk...maybe some electric fans since i have the stock clutch belt drivin fan...i gotta make a list for ya. but yea orlando isnt too far...like an hour and a few. Good deal thanks ill keep in touch with you.

btw i see you do exhausts? so im guessin headers? cause the only headers around are Hawks for our third gens but i didnt know if u guys do better jobs haha

the stainless works are the only long tubes around. but you can use some shorties i think. but whistler probably has everything you need to do the swap.

Your in Port Richey? I'd tell you to check out Pasco auto salvage, but they only had one 4th gen last time I stopped in there, they may still have a ls1/t56 in stock though. I somehow got lucky and it was a 97, I needed a tail light harness.

When it gets done you should bring it up to the show on 50 on Thursdays, anything cool happen down Port Richey way car wise??

man there is nothing in Port Richey...just a bunch of retards who wanna race all the time on 19...no car shows, except there is one by Gulfview mall on Fridays, but its all rice, same for down in Trinity on Tuesdays by Mitchell Blvd.

But yea ill give pasco auto a call. Im guess your talking about the one in Hudson. I usually deal with Teddy Bears Auto Salvage in Holiday, but recently all thier F-bodies got destroyed or something, there only one or two 3rd gens left, used to be some 4th gens...

BTW where on 50 is this show?

If you turn onto 50 from 19 its down where the walmart is, its across from it, at chick fil a and the sears parking lot and such. I guess at mariner and 50 if you need a close intersection.
