In the process of building a resto mod, and need to find supplier/restorer that could convert the present mechanical unit to electronics for use with an LS engine and a 4L60 tranny, and convert or modify the face plate to show speed in KPH rather then the MPH normally seen.
Does any one have...
The big 65
Hi fellows,
Thank you for your best wishes. Not much time to be posting these days, but I still hang around here to see what's going on.
I don't have many photos, because lately I have been under the car working on the suspension, exhaust system, and seat belt supports, so...
Nova Joe, since I was not able to source any, I took two from a convertible, and modified them so that they would fit the coupe.
The 63 coupe pieces are competely different from the 64 to 67 models, and this is why they are expensive, and difficult to obtain. The best prices I had found in the...
This Corvette was one of my most elaborate restorations, and no expense was spared during the restoration because when I purchased the car, it still had all of it's originall drive train.
The car has had a total of 7 previous owners, and was originaly sold in Montreal on March 9th, 1966 at...
I am looking to install a set of full length Big Block headers for my next project, and would like to know if anyone has purchased, used, or installed any lately.
I am trying to find a Ceramic coated set that will fit a midyear without any major mods. Brand names, or part numbers would be more...
Nope, they bolted right up tight against the block " Sanderson blockhuggers ", and had I not known that it was a tall deck, I would not have been able to tell the difference.

To clear things up
Mark, the red cans seen in the above photo, are not gas cans, they are empty dog biscuit pails, that I use to recycle steel and aluminum during my work.
As for the engine in the upcoming build, there is no way I can afford to purchase a 572 for my own use, so I have decided...
Mark, i'll take that two cents as a deposit on the next build:beer
I'm sorry for my comments, knowing you, I really should have known better, and I do appreaciate the complemints, and kind words. :thumb I'm thinking maby it's because of what I'm smoking these days :naughty:
On another...
Mark, it's got to the point that resto-mods, are bringing in more money then original Corvettes. My customer has more money invested in his green 67 coupe then the " King Ray's " asking price.

All of you Forum members are most certainly familair with the often heard expression " shït happens ".
Well here is another case that exemplifies that term. Today was the first time I get to go out with the 67 project, to go over to the alignement shop to have it properly set up. However as...
I can, and have painted Corvettes for many years, however my ever present breathing problems ( I now have to use 4 of those little puffers every day) no longer permit me to do any of the final paint.
One of the remotes is for the high end " Panasonic " radio in the center dash area, the second...
The difficult part !
Hello fellows, so nice to be able to hear from all of you again. :w
The most challenging part was to get the !@$%&* engine into the bay, and close the hood. There is absolutuly nothing that fit correctly, and everything I touched, needed major mods to be able to install...
Mac, thank's for your kind words
As for your question, during all construction I always cover any brightwork with 3M green masking tape, so as not to have anything brush up against it, and prevent any damage occuring before the car is delivered to the customer.
However my next project ( the...
Well, after only two years, five months, and fifteen days, the 67 coupe has finally been completed, and saw the sun for the first time today.
To say that it has been a difficult build would be an understatement, since it has turned out to be one, if not the most involved rebuilds of my career...
