Anyone in houston area

Hows it going, just fell into a 91 firebird 3.1 project in pretty good shape. Wanting to do a v6 to v8 swap. Just wondering how many of you are from around here. I'm actually in La Porte so give me shout if you are close.

glad you got everything worked out. i assume you've seen the meet driving by, but if not everyone parks between chickfillet and chilli's, the older cars are right by chick fillet, and going towards chilli's its usually a bunch of vettes, then its USUALLY us and some other newer chevys, then ls1'a or mustangs or gto's, depends on the night. im(maroon car big block hood with chrome c5's) gonna try to be there at 630 or so, justin(blue with zo6's) and anthony(red with ttII's) will be there at some point, i'll problyu talk to them later this week, there are some other guys there but not consistantly, white car, yellow car, another blue car, depends on the night. my number is 281-796-8165, name's Alex, and if we get organized before sat night we may try to take the mustangs' spot against the fence im painting my car tomorow, and finishing up the exhaust, so i SHOULD be ready for sat.... ill be there either way though, and ill let you know if justin, anthony and i get anything organized lol

I got the interior of of Ebay on about 3 seperate auctions, rear seat was on one, passenger seat on another and then the drivers seat cover. I picked up a 4th Gen seat locally and then swapped the covers.
