Nice choice on the Vette, I've always loved that body style.

69 Stingray, T-tops, Sidepipe headers, Flairs, Kirkey racing seats
(I can actually fit in it) 421 small block with 500 miles, new alum
radiator, new gas tank, Nitto tires on 12" rims 275/325 rubber,coilovers in
front... Pretty much set up.... will lower it slightly and install the
Camber brace (not sure why it does not have one)... paint is
fresh so I get to rock chip it up

Will use for Autocrossing and cruising

Changed the wheels/tires on the Vette
All were drag radials and the rears were hitting the flair
Reworked the sway bar and lowered it as far as I could
Need shorter springs on the front coilovers
Elect motors for the Lights next

Total distraction from the Firebird

Yes I have always liked the 200s/daisy wheels
Picked them up at good guys for $600 for the set

Bob

So I think I broke a valve spring
Decided to pull the engine... bigger heads
bigger solid roller cam, more compression, new manifold
carb,bigger bore new Steffs oil pan and SS 180 Headers
Kick things up a little bit

The journey begins

Bob

D'oh! Sorry to hear about the problems, but look forward to hearing about the new combination! Still love this car... :)

I have always wanted a Cp car... bought my camaro
shell a couple of years back but never pulled the trigger
with on the suspension, brakes etc

Saw this car on facebook a while back and tried to look
at it but he stopped responding... Saw him at an autocross
and looked at it last friday and it followed me home

7x National champion car.. regional champ many times
Maier put a new front clip with Jri shocks and then it has
sat for 3 years... has a Lotus 3 link with coil overs...
sort of a torque arm but the lower arms go to the sides
in a triangle... kinda old school.... Love the flares
Have a new race weight glass front end but will probably
make it a firebird as that is my thing... really really light
glass gutted doors and rear deck... glass windshield and
rear window.. probably going to lexan

Car needs some cleaning up but a light weight car that sits
1 1/2" off the ground is what I wanted

Too many projects but really loving this thing

Bob

Wait, You only shared two pictures.

I surely hope you took more as I would love to see the suspension and and...

I thought the same thing! You can't describe all of that suspension work and not show us pictures. ;)

Congrats on the new project!

Need to clean things up a little... rear suspension is pretty cool
Again front has a bunch of surface rust so working on that
also.... Not sure how these guys can leave things rusting away
on the side yard... underside is mostly grime etc
We will fix it

Bob
