65 Vette project done
Started on 9-15-05 --- done 2-22-06. New spindle brgs., 1/2 shaft U joints, diff. rebuilt (3.36 posi), new suspension rubber, new drive shaft & Keisler/Tremec 5 speed, new clutch, ZZ4 crate motor, new 750 Holley carb., MSD ign. box, dist. rebuilt with Pertronics, Sanderson center dump headers, new alum. radiator, and tach. & speedometer rebuilt, new tires (BF Goodrich Radial TA 245/60 R 15 rear and 215/65 R15 on front).
WOW!! Is it fun to drive. I did all the work myself except for the gauges and differential. I bought my girl friend new and it was my "daily driver" for 20 years. My wife and I are taking it on a 1,200 mile trip in March, now that everything is new. Looking forward to "miles and miles of trouble free service".

You should get one they're great and the prices have come down a LOT.
An easy alternative is to take regular film pictures then when you get them developed they will put them all on a CD for an extra $5 or so.
For posting pics, www.tinypic.com is real easy. You go to their site and click host a picture, they will display an "IMG" address which you just have to cut and paste into your post.

Congrats on getting your car on the road. Get me some photos and comments about the project and the transmission! I will get them up on our website so folks can visit and see your awesome ride. As a forum sponsor I can post links to our site and I will put up a direct link from a post to your car. That will be great for everyone! Gray.
