Default central florida trans am checking in

Hello all, figured id finally post an introduction. Been a member for almost 9 months don't post much, but I do read a lot ;-) . Anyway I'm 34, live in central florida, work as an engineer/ field tech. I did work at a chevy dealership as a basic tech for about 4 years while going to college. I have owned an f-body since I was 16, 5x total, and currently own 2x. My '87 t/a is a 350 tpi w/700r4 auto undergoing a very long drawn out forged 383 build, I've had her for 16 years now. My daily driver is a '98 t/a m6 nbm, currently with tsp headers, tsp ory, an old flowmaster cat back, full poly bushings and mounts, sway bars, drilled/sloted rotors, upgraded transmission, most if not all the free mods, b&m shifter, air lid/ filter, LS6 intake, led drl/turn signals, egr delete, torque arm, 3 point bolt in SFC, frost tune and I'm sure others I'm forgeting. Ill post pix when I get back to my pc.

Just some updates: I live in Eustis, Work in Mount Dora, A couple newer pictures with new rims and tires (suspension hasn't resettled when the pictures were taken so the car actually sits about an inch lower all around now, the off road stance was temporary) They are OE Wheels 17x9.5 front, 18x10.5 rear, tires are Nitto 555 fronts in 275-40-17, Nitto NT05 rear in 295-35-18

New project in the works, '07 z51 6-speed vette, bought as a salvage, hoping to be able to get her fixed up and turned into a widebody and hopefully A&A supercharger after that.

Where's the pics of that '87?

Nice DD. I like the 4th Gens without the Ram Air snorkels. Looks clean.
