Default Back on the Road

Well, after being down for approx a year, the 74 vette is back on the road. I know, winters upon us but better late than never. What started out as a suspension job turned into new engine, suspension, brakes, cooling, ... the list goes on. I still need to dial in the motor, shift linkage, and alignment but otherwise she pulls hard. For anyone thinking about a new motor, the ZZ4 is a good all around engine that provides good power. The Dewitts radiator is also a good investment.

Anyways, pics below.





Check out my Harley in the background. This is why it was so hard to work on my vette. When it was nice out I'd end up cruising around on my bike instead of working on the vette.


Oh yeah, the car is up for sale. I hope it doesn't sell.
See you guys on the road. The3

Nice looking car. I understand the Harley part. Mine cuts into my Vette driving time. By the way, my next Harley is going to be a Road Glide.

Looks good. I had a friend who had a yellow '74 back in '74. Always thought yellow was a good color.

Mine is just an FLTR. I believe the FLTRSEI is a Screamin Eagle version. Even though many Harley riders think the Road Glide is ugly, it's one of the best riding touring bikes Harley makes.

Two cool rides there

But that fuel line setup needs to go before you burn the place to the ground.

I think about a fire all the time. A hard line is on my my to-do list this weekend. Thanks
