    Im finally going on vacation to Florida for 2weeks.
    Because the swedish "krona" stands strong to the dollar i want to buy some speed parts for my Nova project.
    Is there any good speedshops in Florida?
    Some shops with homepages would be perfect!

    Seriously, most speed shops here seem cater to more modern cars / drag racing. But you might try checking this site out. Or the Goodguys / NSRA rags. Or the vendor list for big shows like the Turkey Rod run. There are plenty of rod shops too, but I'd bet only a few are what you would call stocking dealers for tons of parts. Gary

    Try searching http://www.racingjunk.com Lots of parts, cars, projects, etc. Might find something in the area you plan to visit.

    X2 on this. I don't think you'll find a So-Cal Speed Shop type place anywhere in the state. The shops building cars are generally small and are not open to the public (kind of like a body shop) and the parts places are geared towards racing (with a disappointing stock of parts).

    National Parts Depot NPD right off I75 in Ocala would have a lot of stuff for your Nova.You can see the warehouse from the interstate then cruise down the interstate south for about 20 miles and checkout Garlits museum while you are here.

    Perfect,im going to the Garlits museum.

    One option is to order parts to the hotel from Summit or some big shop.
    But you know how it is,you wanna see and feel the parts,thats more fun for a car nerd :D
