Default Hello from Italy!

I think I forgot to post here since I registered, so I'll do it now to check off the block.

I bought my vette around April while I was still deployed to Afghanistan, during one of the only times that I had internet, luckily.

I didn't get to see it until I got back to Italy, and then went on leave to SC. And man....what a car!

But one big thing was wrong with it..figures, since I got it for cheap on Ebay.....it was STOCK.

Which brings me here! I've ALREADY bought a FAST 78/78 intake with Callaway ported TB, as well as a VARAAM CAI. Few other little things as well, catch can, short throw, fuel rail, fender stripes, so forth. Next upgrade is the exhaust package, then a cam/head package.

I don't even have the vette here in Italy yet. I've got to wait for my dad to send it on the military's dime.

Well, that's it!
Wes

PS: Forgot to mention...the name BigYellaJeep is because I've owned two Jeeps, and one was a old yella CJ-7, and I joined my first forum (jeepforum) with that name. It stuck.

It's a good thing that I didn't put a pic of my car as my avatar, because everyone else's is so much nicer here!

Thanks for all the welcomes!
