Proposal: F-Body specific directory.
As we get further removed from the forums and a lot of the tribal knowledge around our cars and their builders starts to fade, it’s getting harder especially for newer F-body owners to know who to trust.
Let’s fix that.
I’m proposing we build a community-driven directory of trusted builders and specialists, using individual posts that are easy to search, reference, and maintain over time.
How this will work:
We’ll create one post per shop/builder using a consistent format so everything stays clean and searchable.
Post structure:
Title format:
Area | GEN | Focus | Shop/Builder Name
Example: Greater Los Angeles | GEN 3 | Engine Builder | West Coast Engines
Body format:
- Area: (e.g., Southern Texas, Greater Los Angeles, Queens NY, etc.)
- GEN: (1, 2, 3, 4, or All)
- Focus: (Engine builder, restoration, electrical, tuning, suspension, etc.)
- Shop/Builder: Name
Description:
Short, straightforward summary of the work they did and your experience. Keep it focused on quality, reliability, and what they’re known for.
Contact:
Website / Phone / Socials (whatever is available)
Guidelines:
- Keep it factual and experience-based
- No pricing discussions
- No bashing—this is meant to be a trusted resource, not a review war
I’ll also put together a pinned index post that organizes everything by Area → GEN → Focus so people can easily find what they need.
If you’ve worked with someone you trust, add them. This only works if we build it together.
