Features Corvette hot rods - picture thread

I'd do the last one, with the diamonds outlined in black. And maybe on clear gl***.

 

Looks like a typical Saturday night at Irwindale.

 

Moriarty, the changes to the interior (including and especially the grab bar) look really good. As for the trunk emblem I am a fan of the crossed flags. I would like to see you keep the crossed flags. When I bought my black 62 in 1977 the guy removed the emblem altogether and put the crease in its place. I sold the trunk lid as soon as I could and bought another one I could put the emblem in. Maybe that is still rolling around in my head.

 

I like the diamonds Mark. What would it look like if the red ones were black like your mats?

 

I was out at the Vintage Fall race at Lime Rock Park in CT, they had a Corvette displayI took some pictures of them.

Pulled the engine out of mine today.

 

I am watching this on Netflix. Episode #6 has the Precious Vette 57 Corvette Dragcar and the owner who started racing it in 1966.

 

Enloe, I watched and enjoyed that as well. I've been acquainted with Larry Mallicone for about fifty years and I've seen that car compete dozens of times. Since the p***ing of some of our shared friends, I'd lost contact with Larry. It was good confirming that he's still a player. For what it's worth, Larry also had a hand in the power-train development of the infamous, highly compe***ive "Big Red" '69 Camaro road racer.

 

I believe that this is Baron’s old car.

NICE!!!!!!!!!

 

Real? Scam? Don’t know. It was someone’s old vette hot rod.

 

That's a lot of cabbage.

 

Wow $30,000 seems a bit optimistic IMO. If it was an old drag car with history-maybe. With the cost of restoring these cars to even a nice hot rod standard ends up costing a few bucks. Good luck to the seller.

 

Ask'n and get'n are two different things!
