Default Some new pics

Finally downloaded some new pics onto the computer, more to follow of the engine to see what you think, it's supposed to be all original, but i'll defer to the experts.

First off, here is the vette:



Another view:


Then here is the vette and it's competition:





Here's me (Just so you can put a name to a face):



And here's the future owner of the car (unless his newborn brother has anything to say about it, but I think he's got dibs):

Yeah, mine's a 2001, almost 83K and still running strong! More HP than the vette, but who knows what a few grand will bring.

Someday I hope to be able to show a combo of pictures like you did. I also have a M/C S/S 2003 and when I get my 77 painted it is going to be factory Ontario orange with the buckskin interior. Your cars are beautiful.
