You and Your corvette
Well, another thread gave me this idea, thanks Bill 
I cant be the only one who is curious what some of you cats look like your cars too,
so don't be bashful or camera shy post a shot or two of you and your corvette or corvettes....
I actually do not have a lot of shots of me with the car but here you go...
In the top shot that is Ronny then dad ( rip )
Just added,
I forgot this one, me and the first 81 I had, this would have been around 83-ish I recall the day, we had a punk rock show that night at our club, some neighborhoodlum got a t top open to rip the EQ booster I had under the passenger dash,
This car became the wide body in 88-89...

I`ve got a million pictures of the car, but only a few with me in them. So here`s a short story.....
Bringing it home.....
Starting to take it apart.....
What? The sun is in my eyes!
Freakin` rivet bumps have got to GO!
Too hot to work... I think I`ll go in the pool instaed...
Getting her primed for paint...
Now the fun part.... putting her back together!

I don't have a recent pic of me with the '70, but here's a shot of my wife and me in the garage with the '34 Ford Coupe and another pic of it on the lift above the Vette. Squint your eyes and merge the pics together ...LOL.

I'm usually the guy behind the camera...
My Father had a '34 Ford, rumble-seat version. I've never seen photos of it, but it is featured in some film he did. I'd love one, but I'm already way over-stretched with 'stuff' to take on something else, besides I'd love an old Dodge Powerwagon, too!
Love the B&W photo - where, may I ask, was that taken?

cant believe this was 7 years ago, at a show in New Milford, a town nearby.
This is more recent, about 5 years ago.
lately, im pretty much done with car shows, just like taking off the T-tops and going for a ride.

Roy

My wife and my son the day we picked up the '71. This was just last August and my son looks so much younger in this picture!
Here is me pretending to wax the primer at a car show last weekend.

Well, no real good pics of me and the Vette, you can see it in the background in the garage before the frame came off the body, but this is me with what at the time was my dd, a 91 Z28 Camaro. Great pastor's car!
Now if your ugly filter can handle it, here is a more close-up view:
At least I didn't do a SI Swimsuit Issue like Old GTO and really scare ya!
Will go thru some older archives and see if I can find a few more pics to post sometime! Thanks 13Bats!
Is my vette stock?? HAHA
