New Ride

[karioth]

Got my vette finally, check out my profile for a pic, its bright orange but needs a paint job, looks good from a few feet back, more importantly it is INSANELY fast . BTW ended up selling the Z for $1200.

oops i forgot to include suspension work... i got VBP Grand Touring system being put on it now to replace the worn out stock system (entire kit). Also got Vansteel rear T-Arms to replace the stock ones that got crushed by the new motor :-o

I see no picture, but I love me some 'vettes! I remember you buying it, But what's it look like now?

[WRXtranceformed]

What year? Pics? I don't see any in your profile.

its an Orange 77, the pic should be in my MM car profiles under the daily beater. After the suspension I want to re-do the seating with some 5 points, replace the fueltank with a larger fuel cell, and its pretty much done at that point

true... but if you look at my parts list... aiint much from the 70's still left in it

I like the orange and I like the older vettes much better than the newer ones. Do you have any interior shots?

[FbodyTech]

love that year vette. Can't beat the fender buldges on top of the front wheels. Would look badass with the new vette orange. What is it like sonic orange or something. Anyway nice car. Bet it hauls ass!
