Hi guys I decided to spend the holidays in Orlando FL. Just wanted to ask are the some AMC performance shops there that I can go and visit and some other must see items I can take a look at ?
I arrive in Orlando on the 18 of Dec and will be leaving 2 of January..
Please let me know if there is something interesting I must see in Orlando or near by.
Regards from Iceland Lenni

Depends on your interests. You could spend the entire time at the theme parks and not do the same thing twice. I don't know if there is any AMC performance places there but I would think so. There is American Performance in Cocoa, about 40 miles east. They have some NOS items and a bunch of old parts and cars. The "show room" is on the bottom floor and a lot of used parts are up stairs on rows and rows of shelving. Then there's the Space Center about 10 miles east of that. Then there's the west coast with lots to do over there too.

Ok I´ve already been to the Space Center when I was in Florida last time.
I was just looking for some Car stuff to do. I was thinking of going to the Don Garlits museum. And I really wanted to go to a Drag Race but the season seems to be over. I´m not big on Theme parks except if they are CAR theme park. With Dragsters and stuff like that.
Any ideas are appreciated

Just heard a great story about American Performance.... a guy in my area (Toledo, Ohio) was trying to buy a '71-'74 style cowl induction hood. Was told by them that they had a great full fiberglass reproduction hood they were making. Several calls, several pictures and set up a time to come and get it, since they preferred not to ship it. my friend goes to FLA and ends up a day early, so he calls AP to see if he can head over for the hood, and to see if they have some other needed items. AP's response??? "what hood"......... Friend heads over there, getting panicky and pissed at the same time. Described to me as a shit hole with little trails through a big building filled with crap, looks at their hood and says "this isn't a cowl induction hood, I need it to be a functional cowl induction hood". response, huh.. I gotta guy coming tomorrow looking for one too.....My friends reply, "that's me!!!!!". Long story short, their claim is that you can cut out your cowl induction parts and make it work with their hood... friend wasn't convinced and sent pics to his body man who said "no way"... drove back to Ohio with no hood, and wonderful memories..
