Long time observer first time poster on this site.
In progress a 1973 corvette witha a 9 in ford, 4-link and turbo 400 with a 5200 stall and brake. The loud end is a high winding 10.75 compression 496, with a comp 4/7 swap solid roller cam, and canfield cnc chamber, hand ported runner heads
It has a single dominator now, but we are looking at a dual 1050 setup, for some 7500-8000 rpm flogs.

to answer your question WIKD69 I now work at a collision shop as a painter.
Re: You and your ride... Post it here get to know everyone...
That still qualifies as 'real work'. I myself work with information technology, which does not qualify as 'real work'.big block nova wrote:to answer your question WIKD69 I now work at a collision shop as a painter.
