Nice Vette Unfortunately the only runs I'm making are out to the wood pile to fill the wood stove 7 degrees this AM. Maybe next week after the warm-up

I'll get some pics up when we get out on a run...looks like Jan 12...this vette really impressed me as he has tinkerd with it over the last 19 years...but,he kept body,interior stock,preserving the original LT1....it really hauls buns...

Great, will be looking for the pic's.. Yep, I can relate to what he did with his original engine...as I nearly did the same thing For me though...when it came right down to it... I just wanted to run and feel the original engine. Having said that...it certainly is in the back of my mind... picking up a project bumper (non original) and moding it to no end!! Sounds like fun to me Muddy
