Features Corvette hot rods - picture thread

It's just my opinion but I don't like to see pictures like that.(the wreck)

I agree and I deleted it. Not a good picture for this great thread.

 

Brother from a different mother.

 

love this car

 

Pure perfection!

 

Chuck, I know what you say about hood clearance and lack of fresh air. I spoke to Jim Jr on this car. Cool that he is still keeping the old Vettes in the limelight.

 

Here is a picture I took last night at our monthly car club meeting. Had to crop it a bit to keep it relevant. The black 57 has a dual quad 409, my red 62 is next with a 427 and the 59 has a 355 small block. Probably one of the last times we will get to drive the hotrods this year.

 

Jim , can you post more pics of the 57?

 

This ^^^^^^^!

 

Colin and Doug I probably have more pictures but since the book my files are a mess. Here are a couple of pics at Autorama a few years ago. If I find more I will load them. Never really think of taking pictures since I see the car all the time.

 

Found this picture I took last year with my car in the background.

 

Awesome surprised it has a flat hood...

 

Thanks Jim.

 

It is pretty cool that he was able to use a stock hood. When I read some of the things that guys on forums say about how one cannot fit a big block in a solid axle it amazes me. Ed has aluminum heads on the 409 and it makes it ride pretty good. Sounds really healthy as well. In looking through old files I came up with a picture of the three cars at last years Pumpkin show at a local airport. Mike's 59 with dual quads on a 355 and my 427 in the mix as well.

 

Pretty sure this is early "Billy The Kid" Stepp.

 

Is Doug Thorley, Headers by Doug?

 

I saw a similar 409 Vette sell at Bloomington gold about 25 years ago . It went cheap as I recall it always stuck in my mind as a cool car .

 

yes.
