Default what other projects do you have?

what other projects are you working on beside your motorycle?

im restoring a 1969 corvette. my father bought the car brand new in 1969 and gave it to me for a birthday pressent a few years back. when i got it the frame was so far gone that i had to do a frame up resteration. as i go i make a few changes here and there to the car that i would like becuase im restoring it to enjoye and drive and not to sell. i plan on puting an ls2 in it and i have made a few modifications to the suspention to not only make it handle better but to give me better traction.

here are some old pictures i have of the car. the car is currently alot further along i have the body back on the chassy and besides an engine the rolling chassy is done. the reason it siting where it is in the pictures is becuase we had a small fire in are garage and the fire department went crazy with try to put the fire out and we had to re insulate and sheet rock are whole garage.

I am rebuildinga 67 camaro.i just built a 383 stroker for it and had the trans rebuilt..the interior is done all thats left is the body and paint which is the only thing i can not do at home,oh and the rear susp.i want to tub it and have a four link put in and now its all how about money ihave done everything that i can myself,so i fell like im against a wall trying to save enough money to get it done right..i also just started racing nitro r/c trucks which is ok,but on the days i do go race i think off how nice of a day it is to go to the twisties...
so that hobby is fadding fast being that its a summer time hobby..and when i do have time i load the dirtbikes up and go tear some **** up,but the older i get all my old injuries make motocrossing harder and harder...so tearing the steets up on the cbr is always #1...

I build up rifles. Anything from 10/22's to rem 700's and done a few moss. 590's. Right now working on a stainless MkII slab-side tardet. It has a volquesrsten trigger group tuned down to 1lb, a jeweled bolt assy.and abull upper smoothed over, recessed target crown, also volquersten, with an aimpoint halo red-dot and ivory grip panels. I used to have a pro-street 67 C10, belltech spindles up from, 4wheel disk all around, Art morrison 4 link rear with a currie enterprises 12 bolt with 4.56's. Had a mincie m22 but swapped that out for a 2spd power glide with a trans-brake. Iditit tilt colum, and restored oem interior. Had a Big block with a weiand tunnel ram, edelbrock aluminum heads.two carter 500's. She had good street manners really, and ran consistant high 11's low 12's, which isn't bad for a heavy *** truck. I got out of cars cause it gets really expensive really quick. I'd work on it all week to get it to the track saturday, and either break something or want something better, and right back to wrenching on it. Huge wright lifted off my shoulders when I sold that beast, pretty as hell tuck though and I still miss it though.

I've had my 1970 for about 15 years now and it is at the point where I am fixing the stuff I had to fix 15 years ago. The one thing about corvettes is that you can always get parts.

My current project is ME. Going to the gym, trying to figure out how to keep myself interested in this whole this thing called life. Was that too deep.

Anyway, good luck on the vette, they are all special in one way or another.

I'm working on myself as well. I compressed a disk in my neck late last spring due to a fall off the mountain bike. I was told to take at least 6 months off . It's been allmost 10 and I've gained allmost 20 lbs. I started back with my running group 2 weeks ago and have lost about 5 lbs and fell pretty encouraged. Good thing too, because I bought a Joe Rocket gpx-r suit at the winter bike show and can't quite fit in to it yet.lol
