Id say not much besides the hood, rear, suspension and maybe a few other things that i cant think of but ive been wrong a time or two

And good luck either way id do it man sell what you can to help save money on the build and take the rest to a scrap yard to get some gas money.

Good God, it appears the average guys on the F-body craigslist are actually indeed retarded.

Makes me SO glad I sold my F-body and really question if I'd ever pick one up again.

Well, hood will be replaced by a nice cowl one, rear will be a built 9" with quick change setup(track/roll race gearing), full adjustable suspension setup, bracing etc. 9.0 legal cage, and most likely some heavy duty weigh reduction. I want as close to 3100lbs race weight as I can get, along with as many rotational weight reduction mods that can be done. And oh yeah.. only weight I won't take out will be A/C..... gots to have mah a/c.

Hope to have the chassis setup by mid summer, with the engine dropped in by end of summer. Ready for fall cool weather racing, and money taking.

Friend of mine has tuning experience, and I have some Greg Banish tuning DVD's I am going to start looking at. Hopefully we will be able to do our own tuning and will have access to a dyno pretty much for free... so that will cut some cost out of it.

I definitely want one for a daily. Too good of a car; great mileage and fun to drive. I don't care if retards mostly own them, I love them. I'm going home in a couple weeks for an MRI on my knee to find out exactly where my ACL is torn; I am thinking I'll buy a car while Im in Florida; been looking at a few C6's on autotrader emailiing back and forth. One is built but has 90k on it, the upside is it's cheap. The other is bone *** stock with low miles but it's A. an auto, and B. its expensive. Also looking at a modded 09 CTS V sedan, but it's also an auto. I know they are 2 completely different cars, I'll make a decision though. I just don't know if a C6 is practical for me. I'd have to get another vehicle. If I get a C6 I'll get an Fbody too so I have a back seat; if I get a CTS V I might keep my Z06.

Thats why I live in Florida. Actually right now I'd actually like a little cold. Every day in Cuba it's 95 degrees, perpetual swamp *** gets old.

CTS-V and don't look back. Easy to mod, fast, and freaking nice interior. 1 car that can do all well. There are faster out there, but they're legit.

I'm leaning more and more that way. I love those cars.

I actually didn't like Texas all that much, except for austin. Florida is where it's at, average temp during the summer where I live is 85, and the winter the coldest it has ever gotten is 20ish, and it's only snowed 2-3 times since I was born. You go any further north or south of me though, and it gets miserably hot during the summer.

I'll consider wherever the jobs are. Will be doing auditing for an accounting firm in Des Moines starting June.

Old man is trying to convince me to do a bank examiner job (occ/fdic) since he has the ins on that but not sure yet. Really depends on where.

Not gonna lie, if the girlfriend and I didn't have such big families and weren't so close with many of them, we'd be down south like yesterday. We're still contemplating doing it, anyway. I just hate hate hate hate hate hate the cold and LOVE the south.

I like the NC area a lot. Lots of racetracks and shops...lots of racing here. Don't think I'd move back up north personally or any further south and certainly not out west.

Thankfully I have a smaller family, and I know we would visit each other a lot.

I think my biggest issue would be starting my life over. I'm talking the social aspect, not a career aspect. I also like knowing the areas of things and knowing where the nice neighborhoods are and whatnot to avoid the riff raff.

Last I checked, for the banking stuff it would be moving to NC, Chicago, Denver, or KC. None of those were enticing enough for me to pull the trigger.

Forgot, where are you at now?

Edit: Jk, saw Ohio. South is the way to go man

I had the opportunity to move to Charlotte for a career, but meh... Just wasn't sure about it.
