Here a laugh for you NCRS guys. Other than an updated radiator and steering the car is completely "original" to its beginnings/construction. I still "claim it is a Corvette but the only Corvette parts on it are:
1) acid dipped 1970 Corvette frame.
2) Door handles.
3) Front A arms.
4) Rear window trim.
5) Windshield.
6) Aftermarket rear bumper.

I love my "Corvette"
PS: copter, my wife says I'm a far bigger moron than you. Just FYI.....

Sorry Mr. Gearhead, I didn't realise you were so sensitive! If it says Vette on it--- it's a Vette, mods and all!

Three times a day, morning, lunch, and dinner, like a meal. A little time here and there, say 17 at a time, and that's about 50.

You just don't apply yourself. Besides...who really gives a rats a-hole how many posts I average? Is it that important?

Sounds like a good diet regimen, leaves no time to eat. We can market it as the "Durango Diet"

Chill out. Post all you want. No offense intended,I was just wondering when you have time to drive or work on your car.
I'm betting you are a little younger than myself,though I can't tell due to the fact that you didn't fill out your profile. If that is the case,I will bet your typing skills are much better than mine,cause I'm just an old fart that started my career with a pencil and carbon paper.
Have fun anyway you want,and keep sending the good info you have in the past.

My profile it filled out, or at least I can view it just fine. I'm 28. I build my car at my house and I build other people's cars at my friend's house. I have lots of spare time a day and still make a great living.

Man I get volumes of great info from this forum every day. I have probably saved 500MB of data since starting here. Organizing it all is proving a task and reading it all according to which project I read is gonna be fun.
