Default Hello from South Florida

Hello everyone, my name is Matt. Ive been lurking here for a while just admiring over some of the cars and fabrication work here. Ive been a pro-touring car fan for a while, I just never really thought about making a car that could turn (I was happy with going in a straight line). After I got to drive my buddy's '69 Camaro (Pavell on this forum, im sure he'll chime in) that could handle I saw what I was missing.

So here is my '69 Firebird Convertible I restored roughly 3 years ago, doing all the mechanical work, body work, metal replacement, and even painted the car myself. Its a 350 4-speed car about to recieve a healthy 400, toughened wide ratio M-22 and a bunch of new suspension mods. I dont want to make this a full blown race car, but a nice car that I could occasionally take to a track or do some autocross on (ill save the fast stuff for another car, with a roof preferrably).

Cool to see some others from South FL. Im in West Palm Beach. I try to cover a good portion of the state with car events and car shows, so maybe one day we might run into each other.
