Paul, Nice rear end on the chrome c3...I love my 76 which was originally brown but had been repainted "91" bright red then it was just luck that the 91 zr1 I found was also bright red. My garage doesn't have any white in it, just the two bright red fraternal relatives with their different curves and 15 years difference in engineering.

The white looks especially good on the convertible which balances the long nose of the c3. Good looking car.

Wow, that turned out beautiful, Eddie. Opposite end of the color spectrum, from before and happy to see this change. Then again, I am biased.

Nice job!

I noticed in the photos of the car on a track what looks like a fair amount of lean in the middle photo I think it was. Is there work you plan that will allow the car to corner flatter than that? What will you do? If it's good enough to be safe on a track then you are doing good work having run my 76 on the track for a day in 2011.

7T2 vette,
Just wondering what size wheel/tire combination you have on your car? What is the back spacing and did you have to do any modifications for fitment? What brand wheel is it? Thank you.

Here is mine. A 75 with with a later model nose and tail. I bought in rough shape in Aug 1992 with those body panels already on. I debated whether to keep them or find correct 75 body panels. I thought it was not important enough to bring it back to stock and it has been with us ever since. There is a 93 Ruby Red keeping company since Nov 2011. There is a set of Hooker sidepipes that have been waiting to be installed and will finally be put on this winter with the help of my 12 year old who is starting to like Stingrays.

You have owned some real fast history, Ironcross. Thanks for sharing a peek at some serious back-in-the-day hardware.

Very cool.

Got the hood mods finished...... this was still in the body shop obviously, my garage isn't pink and I don't own a porsche. Lol





[QUOTE=2Quickrides;1582178475]Might as well add my 72. 406, 5 speed, 3.70's. Had it 2 months and already spent as much on parts and upgrades as I did the car itself.......

The tilt front end makes working on it an absolute dream! Took this when I picked it up, I WISH I had a hoist!

Previous owner started building an autocross car out of it but only went half way. He removed the factory headlights, installed buckets and lights from an 80's camaro, and just used removable covers (they are high on my "to-fix" list once I figure out the route I'm going with them). The black dots are the latches.
