Also, I liked the look of your motor minus FRC's. I'm thinking of doing that on mine.
Suggestions on valve covers and coil relocation kits???
Anyone?

And, lastly, I brought home a nice bunch of fall cut flowers for the LSDHL. This might be my last post for awhile...
Why? Did she have an allergic reaction and hit your hand with a rolling pin?

Woke up to snow on the ground this morning.... Pretty much all gone now...

I guess the one good thing about winter is it will put my Corvette urges on hold for a few months....reassess things next spring, lots can happen in six months.

May have hit his head I'm thinking....hope the rolling pin is ok....... he picked the flowers from his front yard.......

Big R you have to strike when the iron is hot......best deals are now going into winter with guys wanting to sell to get that new C8...... green lights only stay on so long........ go go go.....

Katech makes the coolest stuff I think.......good relocation kits and a variety of valve covers and colors...... make sure you don't pinch the gasket when you put them on......

That will be a very cool street machine out in the land of the Fast and Furious Shao........ don't suppose you can hide the blower.....

That green light needs to stay on a bit longer....when one door closes another one opens, right... or is it one opens another one closes...

Looking online shows very few C7 verts for sale around here. I didn't see any white ones.

Dealer near me has a "new" 05 for sale...…

Big R you may want to check a few around the Motor City, and possibly Criswell in MD.

www.lesstanford.com

www.matickchevy.com

www.criswellcorvette.com

seems the majority of C7's are automatics, don't know if you have a preference that way or not......................

we deal with Matick for vehicles used for my employer, I bought my 427 from Stanford, and Criswell is a forum vendor with Mike Furman getting great reviews from everyone who uses them as well...........

Criswell has a white convertible, used.

Shocking.....and 40K is GS money I'm thinking...... wow..... cold as a ****** heart out there today.....leaves are dumping off the ash tree in front yard ....... may still have to mow again also..... weird times in Corn Country.......early snow lots of rain 0-6 football.......what the hell......

For the guys attending the GPBM......(Great Plains Bored Meeting) Bob told us they are going to replace the fuel pump in his C7 Z06. Its like a 22 hour job......on warranty. GM is saying that's what is has to be. Bob has a 15 Z06 that falls flat on its face whenever he kicks it in the ***......been going on for months now. They can't figure out what is making it do that.

Have a real nice day Hamms.....

At least it's close to the right color, Randy. But they are really proud of it

Whoa pump the brakes!!! Let's back the truck up, boys and girls. You are seriously considering a C7?

We begrudgingly let you in the hovel when you owned a base. You sell that and buy some riced up little chit and, in the name of Hammy, we still tolerate your existence. Now, you're rambling some silly talk about getting a C7.
DO NOT for a minute think this will change your lowly status.
Jeez, the nerve of some people! After all we have done.

H1 were right there with you. Heavy rain and COLD. 42 with a wind chill of 33. Forecasting 4 to 5 in in the next 2 days.

Thinking Randy and ROCKETMAN left the door open. Guys shut the damn door......we're you born in a barn?????

At least the Cowboys showed a spark of life this week. Next week who knows.

Randy just ignore Ruby um Ruxxy. He's just worried about being upstaged by another baser.

And he's tried to buy a C7 GS vert with Rux Buxs.....he didn't like the jailhouse food.

Seems Rux Buxs are only worth anything at the GSer Bar......who knew?

Jeeze, did they build the car around the fuel tanks?
Pretty sure in 22 hours I could have the car stripped to the bone with all the parts and bolts labeled and bagged.
