What's up guys.

First off let me say this. I just droveservices RAIGHT from chicago yo Jacksonville, I am moving here and took am unexpected trip, to give you the cliffnotes.

If anyone reads this and is in or around jacksonville, or knows somehow who is that they can put me in contact with, it would be awesome to meet up tonight and BS if available. Text me, 2197414270

Beatrice was purchased as not only my first DSM, but first forced induction vehicle to really speak of. Although I did briefly ow. A mkIv GTI, it was only turbo back and stock tune. I have, however, owned and built numerous 4th Gen fbodys, all being 12.9 or faster. So moderate horsepower isn't necessarily news to me. I do every single bit of work myself, and try to think WAY outside the box, bringing in a mix of 4th Gen fbody, corvette, and exotic notes that flow well with a car is a passion of mine, and I'm making a career of it.

I recently got out of the military, Active Army combat engineer on route clearance duties to be exact, and am now pursuing my welding certifications in florida and will be using such attained skillset to launch my fabrication business entitles VETS fabrication - Veterans Exclusive Tig Fabrifation Services. This car, among numerous others that will be posted over the coming weeks, will be company build showcasing not only my skillset and attention to detail(OCD), but my progressing fabrication abilities and assets as well.

Basically, tune in betches.

Beatrice :

6 bolt block, 7 bolt head frankenstein. EVERYTHING is stock in the powerplant. Stock spring, retainers, valves, cams, pistons, rings, crank, etc. Has 6 bolt head studs. All cylinders test out acceptably via compression test. Spark to every plug boot. Plugs that came in the engine were good, oil was fresh but will be doing a quick change and replacing with Herman Castro 5w40.

CAR WILL BE FED EXCLUSIVELY E85
Fed via a used Wally 25t, came with car , used steal of a pair of FIC 1450's, and stock rail/lines/filter. An aeromotive AFPR tops of the full system, and the E316G is ready to spool to a goal of 30 psi all the way until redline. I'm shooting for a TRUE budget built street monster here, and should have just that.

BUDGET BUDGET BUDGET

I love driving, and I'm en corporating this love in my business as well. I will be delivering expedited car shipping services and auto at I've sales. Basocalg, I'm going to purchase various desirable makes and models on a regular basis that need a bit of work. I'll pick them up in my racing trailer pulled by my 1 ton duramax sierra, bring them home to my shop in jackaonville, Then selling AND delivering the cars interstate if such services are desired. Oh, and here is the neat kicker. My work shop, for fabrication of automotive equipment like manifolds flanges mounts etc, is located in the front of my race trailer. This section is portioned off from where your precious shipment lay under quality car covers, unscathed. It's equipped with everything I need to potentially pull over, weld up that turbo mani you need RIGHT now and deliver it just as such, for cheaper than you'd think.

VETS will match ANYBODIES rate of shipment for your exotic/muscle/imort bike or collectibles TO YOUR DOOR in less time. Guranteed each time, every time, or your money's back. Period.

Buy an LSX trans am, clean 2g awd, rare 2gb, rare 3kgt vr4, rare galant, turbo Mustang, classic car, and everything else under the sun from VETS. In the process, you solve locating, buying, and shipping of your next performance vehicle ALL IN ON PLACE. Not only that but at the Guranteed lowest price, fastest delivery rate, and BEST CUSTOMER SERVOCE/QUALITY CONTROL. I am limiting myself to a maximum of 2 cars per load, as choice not due to limitations might I add, to allow myself a higher level of detail and care paid to the vehicles in which is my job to protect to the fullest and maintain the beautiful finish they existed in when I took possession of your luscious lady. Oh and did I mention buying, shipping, or ordering fab work with me also EMPLOYS A VETERAN OF THIS GREATLY NATION, that still has to count for s o me thing in this country of ours. EACH AND EVERYTHING THAT WE DISTRIBUTE, whether it be a custom turbo manifold for you large holset track monster, a one off built LSX powered FAN boat, or just the envelope we use to bill you will have "MADE IM AMERICA BY A VETERAN OF THIS GREAT NATION" proudly stamped onto it.

Until next time

So is this a non supporting member promoting a business he hasn't created yet? Or a build thread.

Read the rules. And become a supporting vendor or freelancer before advertising your business.

"Be welcoming and friendly to all."

Dear Lucas I think most of what your saying should go in the introduction forums.
Everything you said about your car sounds exciting and I'm sure we would all love to see some pictures of it if you can post any.

Jacksonvilles dsm crowd Doesn't appear to be as active as they once were ever since sonic was shut down but I'm a local that's willing to wrench a few thing with ya.

And it's replies like this that mainly reinforce my opinion about this website. That opinion being that too many self proclaimed "moderator gods", if you're even a moderator, think they can treat "news" like shit


This is a forum for fellow enthusiasts, I expect to be treated as such. Not as your INFERIOR


I can guarantee I've gone, seen, done, and experienced more than you have you entire sorry life in just a short 23 years.

Oh, and I'm buying honing my skills and putting together an effective resume / seeking funding while you perform duties of cyber troll under the cyber "dsm" bridge. Cool story, bro.


GUESS WHO'S NOT, getting on of the first AT COST coilovers, manifolds, etc.

You weiner.

I could care less about what you have done or what you sell, your like 3rd post ever was basically a "I'm starting a business this is what i offer" and then you conveniently re edit your post. I dont care what you have done I'm not here to start a pissing contest. Read the rules

Hey i like the new avatar "urban", but i agree with urban, this does not appear to be a build thread in any way.To the OP , parading your self as a vet/soldier is completely unnecessary in this community. Many active and prior dsm'rs will probably agree that this is a poor example of self discipline and professionalism that is not typical of members of the Military (but there's always that guy). I vote this thread moved or closed based on the argument already made by the to members above me.

Give the guy a chance. I've talked with him and he seems to at least have a head on his shoulder and goals he want to accomplish. He's excited to be opening his business and that's not a crime so it's wrong bash him and mini mod. He is new here so cut him a break, offer advice. He will learn in time, not everyone here is expected to hit the ground running. Boilerfan91 I would recommend looking at the forum rules for this site and this section. Also post some pictures of your ride and make this more of Build thread by editing your first post. I'm interested from talking with you earlier what the car is all about.

And it's replies like this that mainly reinforce my opinion about this website. That opinion being that too many self proclaimed "moderator gods", if you're even a moderator, think they can treat "news" like shit


If your opinion is as you state, what are you doing here? Maybe it's time to move on to a forum that allows anyone to spew whatever they like with no regard for rules. Being a veteran, you should be well aware of rules and why they are important.



This is a forum for fellow enthusiasts, I expect to be treated as such. Not as your INFERIOR


Urbansmoker asked you to follow the rules, how is he stating you are inferior? My guess is that you inherently feel that way and are projecting it outward.



I can guarantee I've gone, seen, done, and experienced more than you have you entire sorry life in just a short 23 years.



How do you guarantee this? You don't know Urbansmoker or anyone on this forum intimately. Everyone has a story to tell. You've been in combat, as have millions before you. It doesn't make you any more or less special than the guy who watches his wife die from cancer.


Oh, and I'm buying honing my skills and putting together an effective resume / seeking funding while you perform duties of cyber troll under the cyber "dsm" bridge. Cool story, bro.


If you're promoting a business, it's time to stop acting like a child and learn grammar. It goes a long way in acquiring customers who can afford your "services".



GUESS WHO'S NOT, getting on of the first AT COST coilovers, manifolds, etc.



At cost coilovers? You don't have a business established yet, nor a vendor who is giving you cost on parts. You have a long way to go before this is a reality.


You weiner.


Again, childish.

Sweet, everyone's a moderator now. Now the actual moderators has to clean up your shit also. Props.

If everyone acted as a moderator, the position of moderator will no longer be needed and the site will run as intended. The need for moderators means the site isn't in an ideal condition, ie, it's constituent members need moderating.
