Default Picture This!!!!

Today I actually drove the BB down to the end of the street for the first time ever( My First Vette) Keep in mind that I have no windshield, seats,hood or any interior pieces except the steering column, I had to sit on a piece of 6x6 pt post... just so i could work the pedals :eek: now you ask WHY would this idiot drive this car at this point? well after never driving the car and starting a resto last april from a completely destroyed corvette she got the best of me....... all i know is the chambered exhaust has to GO, Way to loud for a vert :cheers: :cheers:

I have to admit. It might have been a crazy idea, but hope you enjoyed it. Sometimes we just get carried away with Corvette Fever and can not help it. I know I have done alot of things that did not make sense to others.

Good Luck on the resto and post us some pics when you can.

Also, this was not a residential street it was a connecting road between a strip of warehouses where the shop is :eek:
