What happen to all the car shows and events... week nights and weekends? It seems to me most of the F-body groups disappeared with the F-body??

I will go to any shows...or meets just to hang out with car guys. I think the only thing still going is ...

Lethal Group On Thursday near lowes...

Other than that I think UCF may have a car club??

Fuel Slut still meets on Friday and Saturday nights...

Nothing else? I remember the hooters or Winghouse meets or Steak and Shake... that stuff was fun??? NO MORE??

Or am I just out of the LOOP? I guess I could be??

The only show that I go to anymore is the New Smyrna Show every second Saturday of the month.

But besides that most of the car club shows have vanished.

Just my 02

the ucf car club is actually doing pretty darn good now, every wednesday at about 930 on the top of the new parking garage

i think they're averaging like 30 - 40 cars now, a couple of times more than twice that.

yea check it out, its not crazy like the ricer car meets because the UCF cops arn't too far away

last night there was a pretty good showing of i'd assume 30 cars, and it was raining!

good thing about a parking garage is that if its raining you just go down one level.

yeah UCF can be cool... alot of imports but they are pretty cool but we have had like 14 f-bodies, and I'd say 6-8 Mustangs before. F-bodies are the alot of times the "largest group". Meaning that there will be like 3 Srt-4s, 2 Wrxs, 3 3000Gts, 2 mini trucks, etc... We prety much weeded out all the idiots, seems to be no ricer crap.

I generally make it out every week.

X2 about the parking garage makes the meet rain or shine, which is whats great about having car meets in FL.

Meeting at the corner of 434 and Tuskawilla at 6:30 and cruising over to I-Drive shortly after. Last time we just lined up at Olive Garden, ate there, and then headed over to Race Rock (they already had a show going).

Car runs nice and strong... I need to find a .5 amp draw on the car... kills the battery in about 2 days. I need to do the hood (get it painted and put on)... change the power valve. I will hopefully get a 750 DP for X-mas. :D

Car needs waxing BADLY... orginal paint. Almost as old as me. HELL my SS needs wash. LOL :eek:

Glad to hear it... if I can find some spare time, I may try and help you with your hood. It's not that big of an item to deal with, and white is very forgiving. I'm good at painting smaller pieces, used to do that at my old job... just not confident enough to tackle a whole car yet and put my name on it.

Thanks for the offer on the Hood... but are you good handing the Glass?

I was going to get a sand and prep so it will fit just right.

Ususally you have to be pretty handy with the glass. I think I may use Burke's Corvette that way when I get ready to paint the whole car... I will not have to worry about the hood.

I'm decent, it's best to work the hood on the car. I would go with your plan... come repaint time they will hopefully treat you better.

If you want a hand trying to fit it, etc. - get in touch with me and I'll be glad to help out.

Yeah... after I get the hood on. I'll go from there. I jus twant good prep work on the hood.
