Hi all;

Just wanted to share a few pics of my Shark. Visit the links to see the pics. It's my first vette, I had to wait 17 years until I was fortunate enough to find my dream. Actually, I wasn't even looking for it when I stumbled upon it. I've done all kindsa stuff to it, new paint, interior, weatherstripping, etc etc etc. Haven't done anything to the engine------yet. I think I'll definately go with the 140mph speedo upgrade, 85 just doesn't cut it. Let me know what you think about my "Fiend".

Yes. Good observation. I am in the Military, have been for over 15 yrs. I am on active duty and work for the TN Army National Guard at the SGT Alvin C. York National Guard Armory in Jamestown, TN. Two of those "tanks" you see L&R are two of only approx. 40 armored vehicles that the government developed and named after SGT York. Visit our unit's website at http://troopk3278.tripod.com to learn a little more about us. The one in the middle is a M60A3 Main Battle Tank, which use to be the primary tank in the US.

"Tanks" for noticing.

asby69 - That is one great looking 81 you have there! I always liked a white car with a red interior.

Your interior looks great! Where did you get your seats and carpet?:w :w :w
 
ASBY69....Wow, GREAT looking car...And we have the exact same year and colors with mirror T-Tops...however I'm still running the OE Wheels polished to a mirrio finish...I'm in the market for new mounted seats...where did ya get yours? Thanks for any info..Ray.
 
asby69-

I have often wondered if the M1A1 that I was a tank commander on was actually smaller inside than my shark!

I will say that sponson boxes and bustle racks sure offer more storage than the two rear compartments and the spare tire carrier!!
