Default How many of you remember ZO6-JIM?

Jim use to be a very active member on the CF, I think he had one of the most amazing ZO6 Vette's that I have seen in a long time.
I believe he sold the car a few years ago..
For those that don't know Jim or ever seen his Z, Sit back and take a look.

Sure, I remember Z06 Jim. Have many pics of his car in my collection. That one shot of his cabin looks like the gates of hell for sure!

Yeah he is one of those you wish were still around. Gorgeous unique vette.

It is an amazing car, fantastic artwork, and who could ever forget the model he used.....

Did Z06-Jim, just leave the Corvette community?

You talking about the one in a white 2 piece? She *would* be the 'gates of hell' for most of us!

Jim was a great guy. Met him and Darla in Chicago one year at Chevy Vettefest.

I live about 5 miles from where Jim lived here before moving to Florida.
Jim sold his car about 2 yrs ago and now lives in south west Florida where he is enjoying wildlife Photography.
Jim called last fall when he came back to Kentucky to settle on his house and ask if I was interested in some of the old Pieces off his car.
Well needless to say I have a few pieces in my Garage.
It would not surprise me to see the Flame Man back on the Forum in the not so distant future. C7..........just saying?.........
Do you guys remember these pieces off of the Flame Machine?

I didn't know he sold it. It was my favorite car on the forum.
