Brian G,

That looks great! What type of trans and rear end are you using?

Post lots of pics as your project progresses. We all love to share in your excitement here.

Engine bay and cluster looks great,Have you picked an exsteriour color yet
Yea. Larry the color is going to be 59 vette frost blue with matching int. Conv. top will also be the optional blue for that year. If you have seen pictures of the 58 Paragon did named Rex.( Or maybe Corvette Central.) Those are the colors. The int was done by Al Knock. He also did the wise guy seats for me with the correct color and patten. He now sells the wise guy seats with the mods done to fit around the top brackets and in any design you want. 1200.00 comp. inc. the cost of the seats. I can sell the stock seats for that much and now have the nicer wise guy setup. Sorry I don't take many pics. but I'll try to take more so I can post progress. Just finished installing the AC lines and heater hoses today. AS for drivetrain. It is a stock 92 LT1 with a 700R trans. I left the 308s in the rear so it can criuse along like a stock C4. As many of you know it has an SRIII chassis. I have go fast cars to play with. I just want this to be a car I can just drive in comfort and as far as I want.

This past year in Carlisile I saw Al and he told me he was starting to sell the wise guy seats all done and ready to go. So I ordered the whole int. on the spot. Big bucks for the whole deal. But Al is the best. My seats are packed away right now so a pic.is not so easy. I do need to take them out soon to fit them in the car. You have to make new holes to mount them. When I do I will take some pics and post them for you.
