Sous vide? how'd it go?

 

East Mesa?? I drive in mesa everyday, I'm bound to see your truck eventually

 

Used my traeger. 220 for about an hour. Brought it up to 110 then seared the outside.

Best steak I've ever had. Von Hanson's butchers has some great steak's.

 

I'll be honest that's a really small picture and poor resolution, you got a better one you can post up in the thread so I can appreciate it?

 

Hohokam Stadium and I are neighbors, basically. See you around!

 

Shoot, I thought I recognized the area but I was wrong haha. You're real close to Ben and Erik at Toy Pros, I may try to bum a ride from you if I'm bringing my truck into their shop

 

I won't say that it wasn't a buying feature, lol. TW Express at your service.

 

So I keep flip-flopping on this car. I got it for $500 and the gas it took to go to and from Coachella to trailer it back to Phoenix. It's a little rough around the edges, is missing a few things in the wiring harness, but is all in all complete.

@Man of Steel TRD says he might have the pieces for the harness issues and the previous owner was adamant that were those rectified, it should start.

Kinda concerned it might become a little house of horrors if I dig much further and I don't need to be rebuilding two of these things, but we'll see.

 

The Mike of ten years ago would totally rebuild both of those. But as I get older I couldn't pull it off. I need things too neat/tidy/clean/fresh to do two cars correctly.

 

My thoughts for the Green one would be, for the time being at least, just to get it running reliably. Probably take off the fart can and hot air intake and get a new windshield and fix the trunk. Then focus on the red one and make that the "nice" one.

The Green GT has lots of options, but it also makes me concerned about fixing those things. The ST is manual locks, windows etc. So more reliable and easier to fix.

First time taking on projects like this. Making me motivated to find a new job for my new expensive hobby.

 

That is exactly why my Z and the minitruck are still not done. Cannot leave well enough alone on every little thing.

 

Oh god, you made me shudder at the mention of a Z. Had a '83 280zx 2+2 that literally came with a dented hatch from a fallen tree, floorboards you could see through, and a possum in the engine bay.

Got it running though! Those things are fun.

 

Exactly why I still have a 97 M3 that is not finished yet sitting in my garage.

Sad times.

 

Exactly why I'll be selling my late uncle's C5 here in the next few months...

 

More info please...

 

1998 C5, automatic, 127K...3" header back Borla exhaust, Hotchkis adjustable sway bars F/R, otherwise completely unmolested.

There's a pic or two of it in my IG link...

 

Damn, automatic..... I do love the C5's. My uncle had one when they came out and it was a fun car.

 

Agreed...but Corvette autos are still fun as hell to drive.

 

Yes they are!
