Thanks for spicing things up. It's been boring around here lately. I don't see why it won't look good on a Fleetside. Go for it

Here's a new one for ya.

I actually got to do a little work on the truck today. I started to port the heads on the 350 motor. I got the exhaust ports done on one head, and primered the bare metal on the right side of the truck.
When I do porting I just clean up the ports and get rid of any sharp edges or bumps. I try to make them flow freely without opening them up. I'll also port match them when I get the gaskets. I also try to make them all feel the same with my finger gauge. I've done a lot of Chevy, VW's and motorcycles the same way. And it works. You can't over do it though or you can make less power. No pictures because there's not much that will come out good in a photo. Tomorrow I will have the truck back on the lift. Then I will make more progress.

get some kind of heat displacing paint and spray the bezel, should keep heat off it some.

Strodder · 10-08-2009, 11:17 AM

Just sold my wife's Subaru Outback, and picked up her new toy. Or should I say OUR NEW TOY.

This is our 10th Corvette since I was 19 years old.

It's a 2001.

1964C10 · 10-08-2009, 11:38 AM

Let me get this straight, you sold a Subaru and bought a Corvette? You are sooooo the man!!!

Is that vette in front of your house?

Strodder · 10-08-2009, 04:00 PM

Thanks. No it's the picture that was on Auto Trader. But it is the car I bought. I got $21,500 for the 06 Outback, and paid $20,500 for the 01 Vette. Who wouldn't ??? I have a great wife. HUH.

I just took this picture in front of my house.

Outstanding!

1964C10 · 10-08-2009, 04:45 PM

There really is only one thing I don't like about that Vette -- It's not mine hahaha

It looks to be in excellent condition!

Yes you do have a great wife, if she goes for "trades" like that!!

1964C10 · 10-08-2009, 05:50 PM

LOL..."I" was talking about the car! I can't afford another wife!

daverod · 10-08-2009, 06:22 PM

Now all you have to do is put a truck body on that thing.

4dranch · 10-08-2009, 09:10 PM

Watch out Mr. Ron................

Strodder · 10-08-2009, 10:25 PM

The wife has way more than 43,000 miles on her. And yes she is expensive

Dave, I'm sure somebody has already put a truck body on a Vette. Anybody from this forum?
