Default Moving to Dallas!

Hey just wanted to get a post up to find out about the car scene and what to do out there. Moving to dallas at the end of September from Orlando. I wont have my Trans Am w/ me at first till I get settled/save money to get the engine built. I know there has to be quite a scene out there being Texas and so many open roads and the huge meets like TX2KX. Frankly the scene here has dwindled and is just a couple muscle cars and the usual imports.

Also I have a huge list of parts Im selling. If anyone here wants any and can wait, Ill bring them out with me and save on shipping!

https://ls1tech.com/forums/parts-cla...l#post16621738


Looking forward to a new scene!
KC

Good lord all of your **** on your list is a steal. Dibs on that ebony dash pad, shoot me a PM and let me know what's up! When you get a chance, come check out the Mr. Frosty's meet in Denton. It's a 30 minute drive, give or take, from Dallas, but we've had people come out for over an hour and a half away. Pretty decent car scene all around the DFW, you pretty much can't turn a corner without seeing an LS1Techer

Welcome from Austin as well. Set your calendars for the first Saturday at Classic BMW. Cars and coffee starts early, cars arrive around 7am and usually start leaving in droves by 10am. Like I said above, it is an awesome collection of hot rods, exotics, vettes, and everything in between. There are roughly 200 cars that show up every first Saturday of the month.
