4279400 REVIVED!

[Storm9400]

Car was built out 08/02. Turned plenty heads and scared more cows
than one could count along my south georgia country roads. When it
developed a surge tank leak and 3310 backfire I pulled it into the tractor barn, covered it with several layers of cheese cloth, and ignored her. It's been there almost 15 months attented to by field mice that filled both foot wells with cotton and corn husk.
Inspired I went to S.A and spent three hours with Susan and Bill.
Bill let me pick out a matched pair of freshly chromed "origional"
pent roofs. Bagged a new stainless steel surge tank-Yes! This motor is gonna blind them mice. The Parhams: First Class period!! Its rolling again! Now to answer youthful questions like "what year
corvette that be?" Or don't it need 21" wheels to get right? Bill S.

Ralph: No pics-its just a real bright silver-Preacher John painted it in the paint shed. Said
it would look best with a coat of emeron JD green; typical tractor guy. Has mystic stripes. Done
with House of Colors micro sequins. Looks good down here but wouldnot hold a candle to the
great pics of cars posted here. Std. issue S.A. BB noisemaker under the hood. Thinking about
Gadsden; Want to see a car with enough motor to reconstitute asphalt. Believe Jason P's car
may come close.

Thanks Clay, but not hardly. They have great rides. I built Lil Cobra in 2000. It has only taken me 4 years to get to the Turkey pan which I am working on now (I've had it for 4 years also) The Lil Cobra is a family member but not a Show Dog! [:D} :D

Brent: A good vintage indeed! You may be amused to know that I was origionally assigned
9402 or maybe it was 9403. Because I had a C1AE 2 bolt block Maurice bumped me into 9400.
9400 was the only 2 bolt frame on the floor when the engine was delivered. Maurice scheduled
delivery a week ahead of the promised production date.

Brent; Now about those tires....hope we get something in the works soon.....else my
baby will be sporting a new set of Micky Thompson ET's by the end of the summer.
