Once the paint was off of my 59, it became apparent that the car was either hit or backed over something low such that the driver's side rear valance panel was crushed just below the exhaust outlet and behind the bumper. Whoever fixed it used a gallon or two of bondo and glass. I am hoping to...

Larry, Thanks for asking. Things are going well. We're ready for the body shop and I'm waiting on them to make room for it. As soon as the body is delivered we'll start on the exhaust system. As John found, nobody has a mandrel pipe bender around these parts so it'll have to be custom built...

My 1st wife!!!

One of the things that troubles me is this whole "re-creation" thing. AKA "clones". That, to me, is stupid money-I can't believe what these counterfeit cars are getting (Hemis, Yenkos, etc.). :crazy Rick :gap Know what you mean about stupid money. B-J had a Hemi GTX clone (started as a...

That's good to know - I have both. Thanks, Larry

I was hoping the Assembly manual showed how to reassemble doors. If not, I'm in big trouble.

Yeah, it does look hard even after reading through the 13 pages of detailed instructions (with color pictures). There's a guy selling these kits on Ebay for less than the listed price on the website. We'll see... I still have time to decide. The project is finally in progress (yeah!). My SRIII...

I thought this 2speed conversion kit looked like an interesting alternative to the side-mounted kit sold thru Corvette Central. The motor mounts under the dash instead of behind the kick panel. Does anyone have any experience with this kit? What are your thoughts...

LOL...you're sure right about that!. Every once in a while one can find a bargain, but probably not on Ebay. By the way, the LS2 that sold last week for $9800...well, apparently the winning bidder reneged and now they are emailing me as runner up. Sorry...I had my one moment of insanity and they...

Thanks Larry, It has been a while hasn't it. I've changed companies and cities since I last posted, but I've been keeping up with the rest of you and your progresses. I went ahead and had Mike build a roller for me. Pretty much like yours, except I had him notch the rear crossmember to...

I guess I should have said "elusive, reasonable LS2". I've got that one on my watch list. I don't know if it's a good price either, but one sold the previous week for $9700. I helped bid that one up, but sure would have been mad had I won it.

Love the color. 17"X10"s in the rear!!! Small wonder they didn't advertise a soft top to go with it. By the way, my SRIII is due to arrive this weekend so I'll be back in busiiness soon. Now if I can just find that elusive LS2. Regards...

I feel your pain Herb, as I am by nature a tightwad too. But after corresponding with John, Rich and Larry over the last year I've determined that there really is no other way to go than with the C5/C4 set up. I decided to save a little longer and get the one I wanted rather than the one I could...

Hey Barry, She looks awesome in any league. Love the color. Wes

Larry, You look pretty proud in that 1st picture...as well you should be. Car looks great!! If you see Mike at Carlisle, ask him to hurry up and start fabricating my frame. I've got some serious catching up to do. Wes
