    Quick micro shoot...

    My neighbor Greg (who's a cool older brother in his late 50s-early 60s) knocked on the door yesterday and he's standing there with another cat about his age. They both look a little serious, and he says "Hey Jon, we, uh, thought you'd want to come out here and see this." and he kind of motions with his head backwards over his shoulder towards where my the coupe is parked.
    My first thought is that this other guy has hit my car, and Greg is telling me about it, so I step out on the stoop so I can see the Accord. She looks fine, so I step out a little further and see this:



    Greg then tells me that this other guy is his buddy, and that they've cruised around in this 'vette for the last 20 years.

    His buddy was just stopping through, so I grabbed the camera and snapped off a few pics. I would have liked it if the coupe was clean, though.


    And it's no big thing, I just liked the imagery of the two cars. I also got a kick out of the 'vette sitting like a stock cb7, less gap in the back than the front.

      No, But that's okay, I've driven them before. Plus, it's still stock, and NOT the 427 or the L82, so it's not necessarily quicker than I am. The 70s were bad for cars. I can run 15.87, most vette's in the 70's didn't break 16 seconds. A few were better than others, depending on the year, but most of them were in the 16s.

          Yep. I think the skirts and spoiler are aftermarket though or a dealer option.

              Yeah, I'm a gunslinger.



              I need to get my hands on an oxy/acetylene torch, so I can heat and bend the rear hangers. I had two mapp gas torches on it for ten minutes and it wasn't enough heat. Every hanger on the entire exhaust is hung though. It always makes me think of the old gunslingers with their guns low on their hip for easier access.
