hey guys, sorry for not updating in a while. ive been really busy lately. well, the vette is parked for the winter. i would still be driving it, but the tranny finally went about 2 weeks ago. the torque converter lockup locked and it burnt up the clutches. i think it was the old converters fault. the tranny will be out within a few weeks and i'm going to have it rebuilt with a shift kit and have a new converter put in. probably a B&M holeshot converter. also, i bought and sold a parts car and i got my aluminum slotted rims finnaly. they need to be polished and cleared, but they look awsome on the car! i need a new 5 gauge cluster surround piece and an original am/fm/cassette radio for the vette too. i'm going back to all stock so i need to put all this back in it. also i need uncut kickpanels and rear speaker panels that are uncut with or without carpet in any color.

Hey guys. well, i got home at a decent hour today, and i took some pictures of the car. but it was raining. they arent the greatest, but it gives you an idea of how nice the car really looks. also, i'm looking for a good th350 tranny for the vette. this one is about to go soon and i need one to replace it. any help locating one would be nice. enjoy the pics.

I'm sorry to hear you sold the 'vette. That thing was a beast. I would have suggested adding sidepipes: I've seen a few with sidepipes and they look and sound mean. Good luck with finding a new car, and if you get a chance, check out my 'vette. Laters.
