Nothing wrong with kinky....most people won't admit to thinking that way, but 99% of us do!

Here is my newly acquired 78 (also my first vette). It had been parked for the past 8 years due to not running right after a trans rebuild. Well, I winched it on the trailer made some modifications, added 17" Foose wheels, rebuilt the brakes, and found a leaking intake gasket. Only 60,000 miles and she runs great.
First pic finally on the road!

Time to work on the neglected paint!

Now, that is better!

Time to go play with the big boys!

I'll play... I've had mine for about a year now. She's a 1981 that's not even close to being original, but I don't have to worry about perfection... she's also my daily driver.

Holy crap... err, can I say that here? Talk about a bunch of amazing cars! Beautiful - each and every one of them.

This seals it... we're going with the original black on our '77.

Thanks for sharing your photos guys!
