Default I'm new!

Hello all,

My name is Bill and I am from Clayton NC. I bought my 99SS from a member of this site (link) I love the car and really glad to be back in a F-body.
Previous Fbod's include a 99 and 97 Convertible Z's (wife's) 97 SS and a 93 Z28. Outside of Fbod's I have had just about everything including family sedans, Jeeps and an EVO. Obviously I have returned to my GM roots and I am loving every minute of it. Spent 8 years in the Marine Corps and now I sell HVAC parts and equipment.
Thanks for putting up such an informative site...looking forward to contributing my part and getting to know some of you.

B

welcome, but a word of warning. The car may seem fast at first, then you'll want to modify it, and that's a train pushed downhill with little chance of stopping

Been down that road already with the 97. I still have the 383, heads and intake that I am trying to sell from that car. I think the 99 will have to stay like it is for a while...HA yeah whatever....I've already put my old 12 bolt in and bought an LS6 intake. So much for buying a modded car to avoid having to buy a bunch of stuff.

Thanks for the warm reception so far.
