Hey

[Altered]

Just wanted to say hello. Not really sure I am qualified to be a member here as my budget is small. I am a Grave digger by trade along with being a car buf so go figure why the $ are short. :eek: Many of your machines and accomplishments are far and away miles ahead of me. I am a member at TPU and recognize a few names here. :thumbsup: I like trying to OC just never been really good at it but I try. I found this place dong a little searching for info and came across this site. Started reading some stuff and thought this seemed like a place I could read and learn from. So here I am almost divorced (is to be final tomorrow with any luck) BF3 on order and my 76 Vette begging for attention. :cool3:

Here is my latest build. :blush: I know wire management is awful. Once i get a nice stable OC I will take it all apart and repaint the inside of the case and clean the wiring up. :muaha:

Another toy 1976 Corvette Coupe Black/Black L48 4spd manual T-Top :D I am a old dragracer and love tinkering with cars as well. I am collecting go fast goodies to replace the #s matching engine and tranny. Havent decided yet but a 383 or up to a 427 small block with a 5 or 6spd manual will be going in.

Yup and the motherboard. (Im a stalker too ;) j/k ) Thats actually how I found this site looking for info on this motherboard. Google pulled your post on the motherboard here. Right now 4.5 is all I am getting out of my chip at the moment where I can run it 24/7. Not bad but I want a little more so Im working on it. Im just slowwwww and a novice. :blink:


Thanks for the welcome fellas. :D

I dont think you would have much to gain if you were to beat a antique, that only had 180 hp engine when new... on the other hand what would you say to your friends if you lost. :shock:
I might could borrow one of my old drag cars back just to make a pass or two down the track. Which of my last 2 toys would you like to race? :taunt:
The Altered 23T Built with a chrome-moly chassis, 468 BBC on alcohol, PG trans, total weight 1300#

or the 86 Camaro on a chrome-moly chassis complete Harwood body, lexan windows, narrowed 9", with a nice Brodix head equipped 408 smallblock on alcohol, total weight driver included 2100#

Like I said I am a old dragracer. I traded the rolling chassis (no motor or trans) of the 23T for the running driving Corvette. I got out of drag racing. But I do know the sport I spent 20+ years and my life savings doing. :thumbsup:

Yup kikicoco1334 I really like the old vettes as well. Riding around in it you see people of all ages really notice the C3 body style. Little kids ask if its the Batmobile. :laugh:

Thanks again for the welcome fellas.

[kikicoco1334]

OH! MAMA!:shock:

[Neuromancer]

Nice grocery getter :)

No worries about what your rig is here! You drive a classic stingray vette, you pass LOL

I kid, OCA has no membership requirements.. heh heh (looks in mirror) maybe they should...

[ocgmj]

:welcome:

[MaadDaawg]

Welcome aboard, only requirement is we all get to drive the vette around for a day :D

Pretty sweet Bro :)

Used to be a gearhead myself long ago, had a 69 Camero with the HP 396 blueprinted w/ an L88 cam and 4.56 Posi rear end. Shudda kept that car :Dizzy:
