Default Just for Fun (pics)

I just wanted to share a couple of photos with you guys. No real reason....just thought that you would find it fun.

This is where it starts



My "corvette" in the line up at Eureka while the black one was broke.





This was at the shop on Friday. Looks like a speed shop. Just thought it was fun to have another one up there. Thats all.



Hope you enjoyed the pics.

I noticed in your avatar your vette has a sorta matte grey finish on most of it with the nose and now that I can see it the rear bumper painted. Is this by design? I actually kind of like that look

astepup said that

yeah, thats the new hip thing to do....like black wheels.

no, just kidding. The car is sitting in primer. The front and back bumpers are new as well as all of the tail lights and all of that stuff. Oddly, both front and back were bumped at different times (barely bumped) and the insurance put new bumpers on for me and painted them. Well, I say for me, but actually for my father, who I purchased the car from a few years ago.

Once the motor is finished, I have some money saved for a nice stay fast top, so I will be putting that on. The next project will be paint and door skins, so I will be saving for a while. I just want it drivable right now.

that was down in Eureka Springs over their corvette weekend. I would love to have a 69 vert, 4sp with pipes. These two were too pretty not to take the picture.

A combination of both, but I mostly collect die cast helicopters.

I have a collection of 29 Apple/Mac computers, I take them out of storage every few months and use them. I also have a working DEC PDP 11, a kaypro and a Compaq portable that still work.
