nxfirebird... made all the other Johns look though
its time for an update on the vette :)
hows it coming?

[reamo04]

just talked to him today at k-mart, and, hope he doesnt mind me saying, but the corvette still isnt done yet. I will let him tell why though.

[nxfirebird]

haven't touched it since i de-winterize the boat this spring.
i've got a mountain of a parts but still have little motivation. a few weeks ago i almost bought a 3rd gen to put the stuff in and work on the vette later, but the b!tch jacked the price up on the camaro from what i was told the first time so i backed out.
i don't know, i have been collecting more parts and if i get laid off work here again i'll be working on it.
the bad thig is the power boat bug has bit me hard and i have a deal worked to trade my Baja in on a Twin 502 powered 33' scarab if i want it. i just haven't decided on taking the plunge on it yet, it will kill my budget and be expensive to feed.

to many toys not enough money on a hourly guys pays!

I thought the vette was a 77? Anyways, its a stingray style lol
John, ya know....i know where theres a 4th gen at that would be PERFECT for your build.

[nxfirebird]

it's a 77, and the frame is solid, but the bolts we're rusted worse than anything i'd ever seen!
i know where there is another perfect shape 92 RS with a popped V6 for 4 bills, but after not getting this Z28 i kind of thought about it and if i get something else the vette will never get done. BUT the vette should come in under 2900 lbs done with driver, and nothing hooks better on an "unprepped" surface like a ladder bar vette.

i just need to get off my a$$ and work on it.

i was joking, they didnt make the corvette in '83 didnt know if you knew that. and the bodys dont really rust out, being mostly fiberglass and all. lol

[ddhawkfan]

correction. they made 1 http://www.corvettemagazine.com/2000/january/83/83p1.asp

[wasntme]

i stand corrected.

[94z28camaro]

well... i want to see this boat... you should trade for it :)

[nxfirebird]

this is a picture of the boat i want, it's not a good one cause this is a 33 foot boat and the nose is pointed away from the camera so it looks stubby.
i'm still fusing on trade in price on my Baja, but it looks like where going to run down to OKC and look at this boat this weekend
i love these boats, with 2 steps in the hull and a nice delta pad there made to do one thing really well.... FLY!
right now with the twin 502s and 26 pitch props it runs 75 mph, with a set of 28's it should run close to 80.
with a pair of Procharges and 30p props it would run 90+....;)
