I think the Lumina / Dodge Ram / Beretta should all go heads up in a Cheeseburger triangle... -BP I think the Dodge already knows he can't beat the Lumina - unless he has made some performance mods. You are just stirring up trouble. Oh yeah, as it stands now that Lumina could eat your Ford alive. T...

A brave man indeed.

For I believe Detroit is too far for the Millenium Flatbed.

Beretta and Lumina have the same engine and the Beretta has to be one or two hundred pounds lighter.

Of course we already know what the Lumina can do.

Well not much action since last week. After completing the polish job I washed it for the first time and took some pics. Need to post them. Also drove it to work last Friday for the first time. Had no problems getting to work and back. I did notice a squeak in the back when first starting to move th...

There is a one day meet at Randolph on Sunday 9/4. I am thinking seriously about it, even though the last one was not too great.

I am also thinking about Corvettes at Carlisle 8/26-28. I would like to go but it is just a little too close to get set up.

I am waiting for some mods - who will show up with 24" diameter tires? who will get the K&N? Mark don't you have a cap - how much does that weigh? Not to mention the spare? How about a hacker, or nitrous - well that might be a little much for a cheeseburger bet. Plus, it's not Sunday yet - ...

Update: I fixed the switch on the driver door that turns on the courtesy light. It just needed cleaned – too bad I bought a new one. I chose not to install it since the end was plastic and did not look like the original. I also installed the support springs for the headlights – replacing three broke...

Some repairs from last week: - The carb would not open all the way when flooring the accelerator. This was probably because it has the wrong carb. I overcame this by securing the throttle linkage to the carb in a hole closer to the pivot point (where the cruise hooked to the carb). It was not the co...

My Corvette is an L48, and one of 33+ thousand coupes produced in 1975. Based on the VIN, I am guessing it was built on the first or second work day of January, 1975. I was almost 8 years old. This Corvette is nowhere near original. I have spent a lot of time looking at it and learning. Here is what...

Will this be the first appearance of Paul's F150?

Will the cheeseburger showdown be at this event?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Still shaking it down. The only way to work out those bugs is to fix them and keep driving it.

You already went 12.9 with the fuel injection right?

The easy part was over. I spent most of the next week completely mind locked – not knowing where to start. Spent a lot of time looking at the car and trying to figure out what I just bought and what to do with it. At the time I bought it I had intended to drag race it. Fiberglass body had to make th...

Tiresmoker - A couple suggestions/questions for the forum: 1) Do not allow guests to post. That way you log in first. 2) Enable posting images (as I mentioned above) 3) I am having problems with this thing remembering me when I sign on the next time - even though I click the remember me box. Is this...

I think Paul will win with the most "projects".

Bought the car at an estate sale auction on 6/11/05 - paid $3900. It is a 1975 Corvette coupe with the L48 350, and a turbo 400 tranny. It is dark red metallic with black interior. It barely ran - but I am fairly sure they wanted it to start at sale time. It idled real rough and backfired quite a bi...
