This is my 1975 Corvette. My dad Sandy, my brother Kelly, and I (Greg) built it up from a complete mess of a car we bought for 4 grand. Since then we've pretty much completely rebuilt it. We replaced or rebuit everything including the tranny, brakes, brand new engine, suspension, interior (torn apart and rebuilt from scratch). We just recently did about 20 hours of body work on it and had it sprayed flat black with 4 coats of DP-90 sealer-primer.

Vette Vid
Here's a little vid of the vette. Not that interesting, I just start it up and rev it a little. I was testing the how good the mic on my camera was.

If you listen it backfires like a champ near the end. :P That's what happens when you run a short side-exit exhaust with no back-pressure. Only happens when I let off the gas quickly so it's not a big deal. Gives it character.
