Opinion on my site SO FAR "TEST"
#17
definetly work on the proofreading.......noticed a few spelling errors.
i just look for an easy to read website, that is broken by vehicle, then by type of parts. that makes it easy to find what you want.
once you get up and running..........its very cheap to host a nice get-together BBQ type deal...........find a public park with lots of parking space that allows gatherings...get permission......goto wholesale store and buy $100-200 worth of hotdogs, buns, coke.............make posts on all the local messageboards, and other car sites, about a month before-hand, and invite everyone for a MASC sponsored car show and free food while it lasts.
im sure youd get a whole ***-load of people to show up, and it definetly gets the word out for your new shop........probably one of the cheapest forms of advertising, and everyone gets to hang out and check out some nice rides.

Thanks 'drew but I wouldn't go that far, yet. As for the drop down button idea to select the make/model/powertrain I am working on a setup so that when you scroll over the Make button the models will open up directly below it, then when you scroll to the model of your choice a menu for the year and/or powertrain will pop out to the side. That is the cleanest and most efficient way I can see to do it. As I said before the grainyness of the buttons will be fixed and they will "pop" when you go over them with your mouse rather than just highlight in red. Also, notice that I've started initiating the GTO area of my site as well.

I'm probably hooking up with Trans Am Creations out of Hialea Florida to provide the used stock parts, and once I start advertising on cz28.com I'll probably post in the WTB section that I'll consider buying all good condition used parts. There's a lot of issues with selling used parts though. Anyway, I like the no click idea, and I'll work on that some more.

As for TAcreations
Hopefully you can work a deal out, I ahve worked a deal to buy a more then one motor form them in the last 4-5 years for more then one Camaro I have owned and they have a deal, and it always falls through, even when I have the money, they have given me the run-around. They seem ghetto and a semi-crappy comapany but they have good stuff. Its like they do not want me to buy stuff from them, I find myself happier getting parts as big as complete rear axles with brakes shipped from speedautomotive in Ohio and paying for it, instead of me picking it up in Hialeah with no shipping, 30 minutes from my parents house.

And once agian throwing out the v6 f-body market again.
3.8L series II f-bodies (95.5-02)will use about 90% of the same internal mods as the 3.8Ls in GTP/GTXs.
Suspension and drivetrain(ohter then the tranny) is Identical to v8 f-bodies.

Well I finally found someone willing to do the site on a professional level. The previous site was your's truly's first attempt @ a site w/ a minimal amount of help from an HTML guy. I've wiped the slate clean and gone for a whole different look. You can view the site on its real home now, www.MASCperformance.com. There are a couple things that are still typoed, and there's a joke (relating to media coverage of the war), but other than that and the fact that the product pics are being reloaded, what you see is the basic layout; so once again, what do you think? Oh, make sure to click on "My Account" and register yourselves if interested so that if/when we get a monthly newsletter going, you'll be the first to know. Expect several GPs in the upcoming months as soon as I finish up a deal with cz28.com to advertise, so that I can do it legit.

thanks ghp. The site is being built very quickly for content, rather than graphics and then I'll go back over all of it for graphics. Check out the available (through me only) GTO parts that are up so far. Though I won't forget the f-body crowd I want to be @ the forefront with all of the GTO parts so that if the car is a hit, I will be too. There's a company out in Las Angelas that talking a little smack about a East Coast/West Coast challenge for the fastest GTO. I'm up for it, so stay tuned, a lot of the parts you see posted are being ordered to go on the MASC project GTO with a couple secret weapons to dessimate any and all competition. My goal is to be the supreme source on the GTOs, we'll see what happens.
