UPDATED!!! UPDATED!!! YES, I'VE FINALLY UPDATED THE PAGE!!! IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!

Hi everyone and thanks for checking out my page. Please leave me a comment in the guestbook. I'd like to know where you're from and what you think of my ride. If you are in or near the Hattiesburg area and interested in forming a Camaro/Firebird club, shoot me an email. It would be great to meet up with other owners to cruise with, or to swap stories/parts/info. As for my car, it's a black '93 Firebird, has a bone stock 3.4L V6, and has 138,800 miles on it. Anyways, on to the list of mods and pictures. The first pic is when I bought the car in '97. The other pics are from Oct '06 or later.

UPDATE 10-30-09 Hello again! It's been awhile since my last posting. I know, I've been slacking...being lazy actually. I still haven't done anything new to the car. I just haven't had the time or the money to do much other than drive it some. Since the last posting, I've pulled that dark assed window tint off the doors. I know, I too thought it looked cool all blacked out...but I couldn't get a damn inspection sticker with it. Plus, after coming close twice to getting into a wreck with it, I said "enough is enough".  Once again, for the 3rd time, the damn headliner has went to shit and decided to come loose. I'm getting sick of this crap, why can't GM make a liner that won't come loose? I was gonna pull off the fabric and leave the backboard for the sound-deading...but that didn't happen. The damn board was really brittle and broke apart when I pulled it out of the car, so I just threw the damn thing into the trash. I wish I could have saved it though, you wouldn't believe how noisy the car is without it....especially in a rain storm. OMG!!! I think when I go to buy a replacement liner, that I'm gonna buy the new plastic for the A pillars as well. They've seen better days and now some of the clips on the back are broke off. I also need to see about the power steering pump/and or lines. I've got a leak on one of the three, but not sure which. I have a good mind just to replace all three. I know the lines are fairly cheap, it's the pump itself that worries me. I saw online where the 2010 Bandit Run will be going through Florida next year. If it goes through the panhandle, I might sign up. Anything else would be a bit far for me wanting to drive. I also noticed that the Hot Rod Power Tour will be coming through next year...well through Birmingham, AL to Mobile, AL. Depending on how much it is to join, I might would do that too. I'll do the B'ham to Mobile leg of the tour....I'm not even gonna begin to attempt the whole thing beginning in Iowa. Screw that. Anyhoo, back to the car. I'm still trying to save up for the Corvette Front brakes, but everytime I get money saved, something comes up and I have to put it to use on something practical. Geez, I never would've thought I would do that, much less say it. I wish I could fall into some money and just have everything that I wanted done at one time...but that doesn't look like it's gonna happen anytime soon. Alright, I suppose that's it for now. I'll try to update a little more often from now on....catch yall later!

3-22-09 Hi everybody!!! Nothing new to add (unfortunately). I drove my baby a little bit here and there but havent put a whole lot of miles on her recently. I also need to wash her too, it's a damn shame that I've let her get as dirty as what it is. I've just been so busy with work, trying to get my house situated,  building a deck and a shop. Hopefully after getting the shop done, I'll have more time to enjoy my car. Oh well, that's about all there is to report right now. Yall take it easy and I'll catch ya later.

8-10-08 Hello again, long time no see. But that of course, would be my fault. I finally closed on my house July 16th and now it's all mine. I still haven't moved into it yet though. I've been busy, painting, fixing wiring, fixing sheetrock, plumbing and a few other things. It seems like when I fix one thing, I find two or three more things that I've gotta take care of. I'm hoping like hell that I get everything done soon, I'd like to move in offically and completely by Sept. 1st. As for my car, well it's sitting under the carport and it's dirty as hell....it needs a bath pretty badly. I still haven't put in the new wiper motor, or fixed the stopped up a/c drain, or figured out why the dash lights won't light up. Yeah, I know, I'm such a fucking slacker weasel. But all that's just gonna have to wait until I get the house finished. Well I best be going for now, I'll catch yall later.

I highly recommend the following sites for your parts needs.

BMR Fabrication. Great quality, prices, powdercoating, fast shipping and superb customer service.

TA Creations USA. They have a pretty good selection of stuff that you may need, are reasonably priced and have a good info/tech section on their site.

MS-fbodies.com. Kevin is a local guy here in Hattiesburg that buys and parts out F bodies. I know he's been working to build a shop and has been busy with his regular job, so I'm not sure just what parts/cars he has at the moment. Just email him, he may be able to find you what you cant find somewhere else. (Tell him that I sent ya)

I also plan on getting:

BMR panhard bar relocation kit
BMR C5 Corvette Front Brakes kit
BMR tubular k-member (once I get a V8)
BMR tubular front upper & lower control arms
LT1 V8 & Transmission
Ram Air Hood (93-97 style, the 98-02 style hoods are nice but I want to keep a factory look)

Sweet firebird looks great nice job on changing the wheels. Not a big fan of the ninja star wheels that came from factory. Good job on the mods too!
