Hey, how's it goin?

My names Sean, I'm a 20 year old student athlete currently living in Southwest Florida. My current vehicle is a 1996 Chevy S-10, but it is currently for sale and I do not think she we be mine for much longer. As you might have guessed I am putting the money I make off the sale towards a down payment on a Corvette. I already have my eye on a few C5 Vettes in the area, but we'll see what happens.

Here are some pics of my S-10. Far from stock as you can see with major mods being the front end conversion, full tailskin, paint, and interior work. The seat covers are only to protect, I personally think they look hideous.


There are plenty more pics and info about the truck here: http://www.cardomain.com/id/temporalfluxxx

Other than the projects involving welding (exhaust, welding the tailskin on, etc), I have done most of the work myself or with minimal help. Hopefully, I will be able to help some people in the area if you guys need anything.

I love installing A/V systems and I consider it my specialty. I do installs on the side for some extra spending money as well.

This website looks awesome and I'm looking forward to hopefully contributing to the site and getting to chat with some of you.

Thanks,

Sean

Welcome to the Forum!!!!!!!! I guess you are into modding. Best of luck finding the right Vette for you. Enjoy the Forums.

If you are into A/V you will have many opportunities with Vettes. The stereos in Vettes are pretty poor by most folks opinions'. I suggest you spend some time in the Audio/Electronics Forum as well as the C5 and C6 General Forums to learn what is going on with these cars. Have fun.

There are relatively few of us who regularly visit here in the Intros Section so chances of finding a Fort Myers resident is slim. I know there are several in the C6 Forums and probably the C5 as well. As long as you are looking for a C5 just pop into the C5 General Forum and ask. And don't forget there is always the Southeast Regional Forum for local eyes, many of whom don't come into the main Forums. You should check that out and ask there too.
