Not really sure what you mean. Some like black, some like blue. Did you mean something more than that?
that;s all i meant. while your car looks good, ge's is sitting there looking like it's doing 100, and gonna rip someone's face off the first chance it gets.
 i don't mean anything bad about yours though........

This is my 1970 CT70. Restoration just completed and if I do say so myself, perfect.

My father in law will drool when he sees this. About 30 years ago he bought about 200 motorcycles from a wrecking yard to teach his son mechanics, and restored most of then, including a few of these. Nice Job Mang!  :salute  :banana:

i do honestly like vettes. they would be my car of choice if i were to buy a hot rod chevy. but it'd have to be a 60's vette.....68 at latest, or the current generation. everything in between is,.....well....it's just not that great looking to me.....no offense intended towards anyone.

 when it comes right down to it though, ford gives me enough toys to have serious fun with to not need to go to chevy.  :devil

 I shot this photo of my 92 F-150 at work 11 years ago. My daughter was 5 then. I am getting ready to teach her how to drive a stick shift in that same truck this fall:) That has been one reliable Ford :)

Oh, and beauty isn't just skin deep   :rock

I have a 383 with forged rotating assembly
AFR 1100 heads
3" mandrell bent, dual  exhaust(there's an X pipe)
Hooker ceramic coated headers
Edelbrock Victor 2925 intake
Holley 850 DP
MSD digital 6
Comp cam with just over 700 lift on both sides
T&D Rockers.

2800 stall
massively beefed up 700R (next mod is a TCI 6X)
Dana 44 rear end.

and all the other little things you have to include to keep a motor like that running:

Hi volume oil pump
Dewitt's triple core rad
tranny cooler...
blah blah blah


Nitrous wet shot.... jetted to 180 HP, on a progressive controller.( I have to drill ports in the intake.. the NOS plate makes the motor too tall to fit under the hood.(I used to have a shorter intake on the last incarnation of the motor)

I have advantages for parts procurement which makes it possible.   I run a Honda motorcycle dealership in phoenix and have an old school parts guy who did alot of work snapping up all the oem parts we could find here in the US.  My brother is a Captain with Northwest Airlines and does a couple of overnighters to Japan per month.  He was finding stuff for me and bringing it back in his luggage.   For example the exhaust is brand new, manufactured 40 years ago and was sitting in a box in a Japan dealership.   I paid more for it than the entire bike sold for brand new.

That blue honda 50, the handle bars folded down and dad would pick it up and put it the trunk of his car.

Edit:

In the second pic, that is a 1967 red stingray bicycle in the back ground.  It has new handle bars, the old ones broke.

Edit again:

I still have that red 1975 Kawasaki.
