Any new winter projects???

Just getting settled in for a long winter here in Wisconsin & thought I's share my "winter project". I'm up-grading my trans since a new engine was put in this past spring & the stock one though it only had 56K on it could not handle the new power. What are you Guys & Gals doing this winter to keep from going kookoo?

383 STROKER, KIETH BLACK ROTATING ASSY, 460 HP / 510 TQ. YEE HA!!

That's not a corvette anymore, that's a work of art!

Good job.

WoW!

I thought I detailed the suspension on my frame off 69 but you take the cake

I only got to put 260 miles on the car before the first layer of salt hit the roads

I plan on going to a few car shows next summer, any good vette ones in WI?

Holz, a Chevy dealer in Hales Corners has a real nice one every 4th of July & my Vette Club also has a nice one every August. There is also one in Union Grove every year that is very cool, all Chevys but features Vettes. Hope to see you around

Hey Cherrybomb,

The 'bottom' of your vette is prettier than the 'top' of mine.

Nice job!

That is one clean car. The new trans should be great addition, but how do you drive those cars that only have 2 pedals under the dash?

Haha, I used to have a manual but at 6'3' it got tuff shifting. I do miss the gears but it's all good!

I pretty much melted the stock trans as it was my weak link. Thanks Guys

Thanks Bruce, I admire the originals as yours and I love going to the shows and seeing both sides of the spectrum. My problem is I can't leave original alone and I get carried away. The dreaded OCD!

From the pictures of the bottom of you car, Carried away is not the word.... As stated before the bottom of your car is cleaner than most cars exterior paint.
