    My other obsession : 1965 Corvette Restoration

    I've got a white one that I've had since I bought the car, but I'm probably going to go with tan I think. Matches the interior and will probably look better against the bronze wheels. Thoughts?

    My other obsession : 1965 Corvette Restoration

    That (and obviously the added cost) is exactly why I opted to use the original frame and put a big block back in the car. Thanks for the reassurance I made the right choice!

    My other obsession : 1965 Corvette Restoration

    I’m having a little cognitive dissonance about not forking over the cash for a modern chassis, but this project started out as a simple engine swap😂 Also had the rear end modified to where the original case was machined by vansteel to essentially accept 12bolt guts so hopefully I won’t grenade it.

    My other obsession : 1965 Corvette Restoration

    Thanks guys. I’m pretty excited. MMissle, I remember that dyno of your last engine! Monster! My current plan is to leave the body 100% original and drop it back on the complete new rolling chassis because I love the idea of the old patina on all the new running gear. Here’s a quick run down...

    My other obsession : 1965 Corvette Restoration

    Shooting for end of August. Two friends I've known for decades are doing the majority of the work. They run an 1/8th mile racing team that sets world records so I'm leaving the important stuff to the professionals. Work smarter, not harder, LoL.

    Can't wait to see these Dakota Digital gauges all it up: 06/19 My Forgeline's arrived today and I'm pretty dang happy with how they turned out. I think they'll look amazing with the Glenn green paint. 06/24 Got the accessory drive system installed and WOW!

    My other obsession : 1965 Corvette Restoration

    04/12 04/28 Cold start: Dyno: Got the engine on the dyno today. We only ran it to 6,000 RPM and it was still making power. Put down 655hp/624tq. Once I get my headers and EFI system on there we should pick up another 50hp. I'm pretty tickled with how it turned out...

    My other obsession : 1965 Corvette Restoration

    I've been MIA from most of my gun forums for a while now in an effort to concentrate my spending elsewhere, LoL. I know a bunch of you guys from the days of HKPRO before it seemed to have lost it's way so I thought I'd share what I've been throwing my time/money at with you. I'll list full build...

    What HK do you EDC CCW?

    I carry a sig365 99% of the time. If I'm going to collect rent somewhere really rough I take a glock 19. I'm not losing anything I'm attached to for perforating some thug because of their terrible threat assessment.

    What was your first HK?

    That rig is mine. Got a transferable M16A2 as well that even more fun to watch him with. The down side is ammunition prices. He has been known to shoot a case a day no problem. Wasn't an issue until prices went crazy. Now we've had to temper out trips to not eat too deep into our cache. Tough...
