I also live in the Tampa bay area, and I too can vouch for Simmons Automotive Dexter is a great mechanic as well as Lonnie a great sales man. Picked up a couple of parts maybe had a little issue with one of the parts, but he was real quick to solve my problems.

I'm trying to talk them into it. Apparently Matt makes some of the parts needed to do it. My car will probably be there guinea pig. If its a success and there are enough people interested in it I'm positive it will be something they start to offer. It takes a lot to do that swap right but I have faith. They are working some magic on my car.

Unfortunately I will not be there this week. The car is not done because of the poor weather we have been having. I will defiantly be there next week. I can't wait to take her out.

So I finally got my car out of the shop and I'm super excited! I think I put like 200 miles on her today. Along with the new motor and transmission she also got a new sun roof and some other goodies including 18 inch G35 7 spoke rims that just look sick on the car (the gs rims just weren't doing it for me).

Well I'm defiantly going to be at the meet next week. Also please post pics of your cars. I would like to see whats rolling around Tampa. Here are some before during and after pics.
