Default Aloha from Hawaii!

Aloha gang! Just found this great forum and plan to make good use of all the great information in these pages to better my 74' stingray t top! She's a work in progress and coming along well. Will try to post some pics soon. 406 stroker small block Chevy engine going back in soon. Dump pipes on headers to go straight pipe which sounds crazy with this engine! Turbo 400 tranny with a 2500 stall b&m torque converter. Tons of torque and very fun! Aloha for now and I look forward to getting to know everyone and the great suggestions you may have for me. Much Mahalo! BOLO

Aloha,

Where in Hawaii are you from?

I moved to Texas back in 2009 from Hilo, HI (Hawaii Island)

I had my '72 there and I have owned a '75. Do you have any pictures up yet?

That is cool man, I went to both Waiakea and Hilo High. UHH and then moved to Texas for the USAF.I then went to 2 different colleges here…but..uh.. I graduated! I have a lot of buddies who have moved to Texas, including other family members. I might eventually end up back in the islands in less than 10 years. I hope you don't mind me posting some photos of my car there in town. I lived behind Hilo Intermediate. Also right by the prison there is a guy with 2-3 C3s and a C4. I know of so many Vettes out there that need rescuing, but just not enough money for me to save them yet.
