Vette is Fixed and Almost ready to race...

**holley505** · 12-13-2011, 01:39 PM

For those that dont know... I have hit a few months back when trying to meet up with a few Fule Sluts to race 1/8th mile. I wanted to race the vega from Orlando Forums and a few other sluts.

BUT a Trailblazer kissed me in the Ass... anyway Between state farm and Tim Burke - I finally got the car completed.

Who wants to race??? after I fix my brakes.

Nice! Glad to see you were able to get it fixed

Shes looking sexy as hell. Did they put a whole new body on or just repair the damaged area?

looks great. that garage looks sweet with all those old vettes and vette parts

**holley505** · 12-13-2011, 05:29 PM

Repaired the passenger rear... however I had the whole car painted and took care of any minor issues. replaced anything that needed replacing -just to make it right. 35 year old paint did okay but she looks a lot better now. I have had this car in the family since I was born.

Car looks gorgeous, your body shop did a great job on the fiberglass work and paint kudos to them.

I have always loved these, and always wondered why so many muscle guys frown upon them.

Its because it has rubber bumpers front and rear... the 68-73 models are more poperly and valuable because of the chrome bumpers. Same cars basically just you had the higher HP options for the 68-70 years

I'll race you on a 1/8th gallon of gas.

New paint looks really good. Definitely a nice car.

Smog vettes are slow... with a 1/8th a gallon of gas in your car (what is it again?) it should be a race.

that's not a smog vette engine. but yeah they're dogs. My neighbor has one, clean car but my bicycle could beat it.

Clean car, I remember seeing it at the Sonic meet one time, I'll be out there again tonight if you want some proper photos of it.

Out in Altamonte? We will see.

Yeah photos I shoot are not pimp photos. I need the right tim of day when the sun is just right. I have a great location though.

Whatever ... but probably 1/8th mile. Just got my brakes bled so car stops better still need alignment though.

What you have? or what are you running? Any power adders?

**localtoys73** · 12-17-2011, 12:14 AM

An 03 evo built motor larger turbo don't think I would do well in the 1/8.....I had my alignment done at prs is Sanford they did my work truck as well.
