Dumped the clutch and whipped the back end around. Went to 2nd and I couldn't have timed it any better. I was pointed straight when I shifted and the tires hooked instantly and I shot off like a bat out of hell. I think I made a small mess on myself I was so happy . Picked up some beer on the way back and now I'm here. So it was a great day so far.
Sounds fun Sarge
I stopped and looked at a 78 Z28 this week. They want $4000 for it. All black. Has a crappy paint job on it, so not really sure it is an original black but does had black interior. I would have to apss for that price as it was clear it had poor body work done and I might have given 2K had I had any money. I will someday have another. My favorite cars I like the 74-81 models. Had an 81 Z28 last that I should have kept.

Here is a 78 I really liked.....

I've always been partial to the 70-73s, but I do like the other 2nd gens as well. I can't wait till I finally have the 73 painted. I've been waiting for this for a long time and it's finally in sight. Another month. 6-7 weeks at the most. I can't wait.

Good evening everyone - not too much going on here. I'm not going to be watching the basketball game tonight - too stressful.

I just got home a little while ago, I was hainging with John (turbo monte) and a few of his buddies, it was a pretty good time, and his Monte is pretty sweet in person......
