New guy

[Swaps]

I started a "new guy" thread about my integra that I just bought for a daily driver...

So i'm going to start a thread about my "summer" car.

It's a '75 Stingray, 396 big block .40 over, 454 heards, headers, true dual exhaust, th400 trans, shift kit, edlebrock performer II IM, Weber 4bbl carb, Be Cool radiator and twin electric fans (big blocks get HOT), forged pistons, mild cam, Nordskog digital guages, KMC Venom 17" chromers

Here are some older pics

This is what it looked like at the start of winter.

Right now, we got the heads off and we're going to slap some new gaskets on there and hopfully i'll be able to get this guy on the road before summer!!

Your corvette called.. it wants it's headlights back

Not a fan of the wheels. Total fan, however, of whats under that hood.

 

[posol]

you can't post a caged muscle car in the background and not tell us about that one either

pop's ride?

 

[801CRX]

Nice I like it a lot!
And the caged car?

 

[Swaps]

hell i wish it was my pops car. that would mean I was living at home, NOT spending $500 monthly on rent and bills...

It's my roommate's.'68 Chevelle
496bbc
680hp at the crank, n/a as it sits.

he has a 250shot yet to be installed
he is also building a '54 ford pickup that he's putting a 5.0 HO mustang engine in, he is contemplating a twin turbo job.

500 monthly on rent and bills? sign me up for that! just my rent is double that.

you also dont live in Minnesota.

I would probably be willing to live in FLA for that kind of rent.

There is nothing like waking up at 5:00am for work, only to step outside and have your balls instantly recess back into your body like you're a 5 year old.

Am I crazy or am I the only one who sees that car and thinks.

"He said its his summer car...and its a vette.....corvette summer."

/me google's corvette summer (mark hammel movive)

okay, maybe not.....what about the antagonist's car?

Okay, not that car either....but combine the two.

AHA. Ive found it....the love child of the 72 Firebird and the 75 corvette.

k, on a serious note, i love the vette. GM and Honda are on equal planes in my heart.

WELCOME TO HS!

 

[micah]

i never could stand a million vents on the top of vette hoods, yours are alright i guess, they face up and arent too "noisy" i guess

 

[Swaps]

corvette summer (naturally, i've watched it) is an ok movie.

The best part of the car...

Look through the passenger window, and tell me what you see there!

 

[reikoshea]

right hand drive.

although i realized it pretty quick from scenes like this:

 

[Swaps]

hahahha, yeah, Mark Hammil rox.


btw, kid on a local ricer board in MN.

until someone found this pic.

WHOOPS!!
Wrong side junior.

 

[Airjockie]

Gemme back my wheels bish.....

 

[Celerity]

Clayton's Z is VERY close to the Z that was in Corvette Summer.

<----- My old car

 

[reikoshea]

I <3 F-Birds. I want another.

 

[Celerity]

Nope, mine only had the Ram Air 2. That has both Ram Air2 and 3. A custom job that I've seen once, and I didn't like it then - don't like it now
