What kind of camera do you own?

Never seen one that could do a surround shot from one angle, then let you rotate that view and see whats on the other side lens is not pointed at.

Every camera I've every own, included the high end ones, can only produce a picture of what's in the view the direction lens is pointed at.

Look at that paint, you must get 40 miles to the gallon!

I have pics of Mike sitting in my car.

When Wheeler Dealers did the '64 Corvette episode, my car was the fastest thing they had ever driven for the show.

When Mike came back from a "test run" his first comment was:

"I think I wet myself a little on that one!"

I do know where their location is in Huntington Beach, but haven't been there..., if it still exists.

Here's one you've all probably seen before of my 66. From the inside back cover of Corvette News summer of 77......not bad for a 17 year old kid from Canada!
Acme fender flares and L88 hood, shaved turn signals, 6 tail lights.
Small block 331 cu. 11 to 1, slant plug GM heads, Torker intake, holley 850 double pump, 4.10 gears, Hookers, ET mags, the whole 70s nine yards. Very fast.....

Outstanding examples of some very fine cars and the hard work to get there! Thanks FlyNavy30 for starting this thread.

I love all the threads but this one has a lot of the cars that don't get pampered. The blue collar cars, as I would refer to them.

By the way....that old 66 of mine above has now been "cloned" into two cars with the same VIN! One is in Windsor Ont. (spoke to the dealer) and one is now an "original" big block 66 in the upper eastern USA. (sold at auction). The operation was done in Montreal, long a hotbed of stolen Corvettes and parts.
Easy to do I hear with international borders and countries that don't share vehicle data.

Thanks to what you did in the 70's with the C3 L88 style Hood and removing the C2 nose stinger, that picture above that I found due to an old thread, I found over 4 years ago.

Picture was the inspiration behind my using a C3 LT1 hood on my current build, rather than an a 67 Big Block hood. LT1 Hood works for me because C3s an C2s have similar front fender designs, so it flows with the C2 front end. Also allowed me to clean and smooth up the lower windshield cowl area to go along with added Late Model styling Aero-skirt rocker panels, and yet to be designed more of a modern style front air-dam/splitter for it, that is if I can do so without Pug-ing the nose of car.

Thanks again, as it helped to allow me to build something different from anything out there C2 wise.








By the way the above car is not built for looks, just effort to define a 2 1/2" flared C2 body that will appear to most of you as stock if you don't look close. That Car will not belong to me, as it's built with stock C2 one year only model features so it's way to stock looking for me. I'm more of a Shock Vs Stock look for a C2.... It will be out there for all to see this Fall.

Thanks for the help. Can you tell me how you did it?

Go to file where picture is saved.

open Picture you want to rotate. (Depending on Operating System should come up with black box surrounding it, MS10 does, "if it doesn't you should have a PHOTO Editing program you can open it with to use to rotate it.") Note: (Note: you may be able to double right click on picture and select rotate to do it also. Works with MS10, probably other MS OS systems.)

If it opens with a black box around it, there should be 3 symbols at top of box. Center Symbol will be a Trash Can. To it's right you should see a Rotate Symbol, arrow head with Circle tail around it.

Click on Symbol to rotate Picture to viewing angle you want, and then, "Right Click" mouse button, and select "save as" (Note: you may be able to double right click on picture and select rotate to do it also.

If your using a touch pad, your on your on with that. I have Parkinson so I can't use a touch pad. Have to use Mouse with it's arrow speed slowed down so I can use computer.

Example of Picture our Friend posted rotated.








If you still have a problem with rotating pic, PM me, an will see if I can talk you through process.

Here are couple of my old cars. The prostreet car built to run in the NMCA World Fastest Street Car series in the early 90s. Started with a really rough '64 built around a full tube chassis powered by a naturally aspirated 516in motor mated to a 2speed glide. Weighing in at 3200lbs through the mufflers ran mid 8s.
The grandsport started life as really rough '63. Added full grandpsort fenders,quarters,etc. Tube chassis with C4 suspension,a trick super T10 behind a stroked 377ci with a cool cross ram setup.

The '67 in the middle is a matching# 350hp car. Which came from the factory with side pipes and aluminum bolt on wheels. All still intact. As you can see though I prefer NCRS type cars I enjoy them all.

I liked the NMCA fastest street car stuff. I had a '68 SS/RS Camaro at the time and raced it in some of the heads up classes. Not at the "fastest" class....but I went to Memphis every year for the finals. I ran in the Musclecar categories where they did a matchup based on mods/cubes. Lots of fun!

Great looking cars!

Jim,
I ran Prostreet. Which was the fastest heads up class at the time. It was loaded with likes of Tony Christian, Mike Moran, Mark Tate,Pat Musi, Annette Summer and Rod Saboury. As the years went on the motors got bigger. Nitrous was added. Then came turbos and superchargers. Some of the events had a mandatory 25mile road tour. Some of the big motor cars did not fair well with it. My car was so streetable that I would some times drive it to work! I was lucky enough to runner up to Annette Summers at Norwalk one year. It was a lot of fun at the time. But alas without the money to keep up it was time to move on. I ended up selling the car to Rod Saboury.
