Default The show off your stuff thread

.. just because I'm a bit bored now...

Show off all the fancy stuff you have on your corvette :)

I'll have to take some better pics first before I show off some stuff (only have over exposed pics of engine as it is now :( )

I'd have to say the entire vette when taken as a whole is the nicest without any particular portion better than the other; thus, a nice wide shot should do it...especially one taken at Rio Vista at the beginning of the 50th Anniversay Caravan!

Thanks to cookwithvette who cleaned the image up, I've replaced the old image with the new one.

No, fancy stuff here, more go than show.... I got a couple newer pics though. :D


Decided to stay with the orange. There's about 7 coats on.

One of my favorites!


You asked the wrong guy to post some pics! :lol:

I just thought that I would show off my 10-12 year old SBC Hooker super comp 1 3/4 headers for angle plug heads that I had receramic coated. It so nice to live in an area of the country where things never rust.

My car is in the background just waiting for the headers. I used the ARP header studs so it makes installation a breeze!:)

geez, my own pic wasn't even working. :crazy:

Wow George, those headers look brand new! I have 1/2 year old side pipe headers and they are dulled and some areas have little pits in them. I hate it here, everything rusts.

My motor is my biggest show off thing but there are dozens of other parts that I have spent hours making or modifying.
