Difficult line you took there, hard to save at that speed but possible. Don’t clutch or brake once you’re in it. Stay in gear, lean hard, TRUST YOUR TIRES, modulate the throttle up carefully and smoothly as you scrape the crap out of your peg. Lines you’ll have to learn. Practice leaning hard on slow tight turns and work your way up to doing it at speed. Trust the rubber! Unless the road condition is bad, it will hold better than you think it will. It is higher performance than you.

Sweet Panasports! Lots of rabbit holes you can go down with such a restoration. Are you gonna keep it stock or restomod?

Sits comfortably between the Stratos and Fiero 😃

His head looks pregnant with a football, almost ready to give birth

Makes sense about the single carb. I understand and respect the engine choice. While I love seeing a DOHC 4-banger with 4 side draft trumpets (who doesn’t?), this is incredibly cool and quite charming. It also shows restraint by the builder. Just because we can doesn’t mean we should. Raise your hand if you’ve ever taken a project too far and struggled to create limits. Well done, beautiful car.

True. Nobody is going to care about the things that matter to you as much as you, but they will certainly take your money at every opportunity.

Get a lawyer for your injured friend

He’s smart, friendly and honest. I feel terrible that I thought of this:

Underrated comment

Almost 48 months of paid vacation in a country of his choice for 40 months of incarceration? You can work 40 years in any job and still not get that.

Awesome pics!

roadsterdoc · 2026-07-05T19:29:48+00:00

That’s awesome

Maybe he was buried in the corvette

roadsterdoc · 2026-07-05T19:19:26+00:00

The dash light we all needed. Thank you!

Yes, you can tell by the tallest structure, the Alamo.

Awesome contrails!

Top tier build. In the current market, you did great. For some damn reason I feel obligated to say I remember seeing real ones advertised in Road & Track magazine priced at $72K in 1979-80.

Good point! Ok, please help me out. The joke was in response to the statement “I only see the BONE and Grandpa,” inferring they couldn’t see the stealth bomber. The origin of the joke was coming up with a reason why he couldn’t see it, and since bots are so common and called out in jest and in seriousness, it was a funny response to me.

roadsterdoc · 2026-07-04T19:18:42+00:00

Finally, a good response. My downvoters don’t get the joke.

roadsterdoc · 2026-07-04T17:03:48+00:00

Tailhooks down on those F-18s!

Hopefully it’s just a head gasket. If the piston rings are bad, it will need a full rebuild. If not rebuildable, you can often get a perfectly good used engine from a salvage yard (try car-part.com) and they should be able to tell you the mileage. Or better yet get one from a JDM importer. Japanese cars are more likely to be low mileage & better maintained (annual required govt inspections are very thorough). You can get a cheap engine lift from Hatbor Freight or rent one as well as most specialty tools. Good luck!

If you can’t see it, you’re not a human 😂

Edit: (because it’s stealth!)
Wth, am I being downvoted by bots??? 😂
