Does a 1980 convertible count as a custom? Its almost as rare as an 1983 corvette :lol:

I'll join in, in a year or more likely two. I've even considered the word "hybird", since we have used so many parts from so many different year Corvettes. If I have any dimes left over, I hope to buy a digital camera for show and tell.

HeHeHe! I guess I qualify for this one along with the old farts one a few weeks ago! :sleep: No outside mods except the L88 hood and 14 different shades of Bubba orange! :bb All suspension parts including the thirty+year old bushings and the now concave rear spring are original also! :eek: Now under the hood - that's a different story! :D

I guess I'd be stretching things a bit if I asked if Chrome Exhaust Tips count :bs

78Vette-SA, Went to a show where a guy added a few chrome items to his vette and they put him in the modified/custom class. I guess you qualify. :cheers:

AussieVette

Wow there are some magnificent looking customs there guys and it is real inspiring. Although having such an original car I just could not bring myself to make any modifications, as much as I'd like to. So I guess I'm a little unlucky, no hang on I am lucky then, oh I give up :confused:

I've resisted this one long enough, count me in !

Turbo 77

Here is my new baby!! Count me in!:

Turbo 77 - Years ago I used to see a 78 with a gale banks turbo emblem on his hood at the super market. I left a note and never heard from him. In the early 80's I got to see one of the real 24 hours of Daytona TT 81 cars. I guess that's why I always wanted a TT. I just never had anyones help about a kit.

So I only have a stroker!

Just another one which won´t be original....
Some of the mods are in the signation, body will be slightly modified, custom air intakes on the hood for a custom built fresh air system.
Interior will be modified....
But after all it should look very tasteful.
She´s on the best way to become an eyecatcher :eek:

69Myway

Way too cool cars here. Mine is in the very raw stages and much still on the drawing board. Since I may autocross for kicks once in a while, and drag race even less, I am trying to go with parts that give me the most bang for my buck but don't go beyond street needs.

Interior:
Vintage Air system
Corbeau A4, dual hoop roll bar, black carpet, seats, panels
Sony extreme stereo, dual 12" subs (battery relocated)

Suspension:
Complete VB&P Performance plus front and rear
VB&P complete brakes and SS lines

Rims:
17" plus (tbd)

Engine:
454 .060 over
Stock Steel crank
Stock HD rods
Edelbrock perf RPM cam, head
Crane roller rockers
Edelbrock Pro Flo EFI w/ Airgap Perf RPM manifol
3:55 gears

Special Mods:

Fully electric "stock looking" pop up headlights (my own design-and keeping it to myself)
Fully electric wiper door


Many other ideas in the works.

Completion date???? At least by 2003 so I can soak up some 50th anniversary shows and cruise events.

Here is a quick link to my photo albums---check out my old V8 Fiero.

Lasse I ordered the rollbar in kit form from Jegs. Their USA phone munber is 1.800.345.4545 or they have a Jegs.com website. All the bars came in a box and had to be fitted to the car. You do need to cut holes i the floor to weld to the top of the frame

No exterior mods but under the hood and suspension has been modified with more to come.

Well mine is pretty tame compared to some of your rides, but here goes:


That's the original L-82 bored .30 over, balanced, with 10.5:1 compression, Edelbrock RPM heads, Crane cam, and Edelbrock ProFlo RPM Fuel Injection. This blows out thru a set of headers into a 2 1/2" set of chambered pipes which are topped off with a set of Pacer resonators.

The car features an Imron paint job done in the '84 Cadillac color Dark Autumn Metallic. The interior is stock except a Pioneer Cassette deck and an Edelbrock air/fuel ratio gage mounted where the ash tray used to be.

On deck for next year is a set of 70's era color coded ET mags.
