    Chief, your Corvette is going to be awesome and it's ok to be random, that's what most of us like.

    I had the pleasure of restoring a 68 427 vette of my neighbors in the early 90s. You have a beautiful car. Glad to hear you are going to drive it.

      Oh….4…2…7….dream car! I love what I have for sure but It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t a little jealous of that motor.

      @@shotslife small blocks are better handling. I have a 74 Javelin AMX with a 360 and some NOS and we raced 3 times and he lost all 3. Only had a 100hp shot of nose. That stuff is fun! Have a great time in your shop and be safe.

    Subscribed to watch the Vette transformation. I have a 71 Bridgehampton Blue Vette with the same blue interior as yours that I bought a few years ago, but it's in driving condition and doesn't need much other than tinkering with a few things like all old cars need. Unfortunately, mine is not a rag top and it's an automatic, but the price was a steal. Much like you, I've retired from the military last Summer down here in Hampton roads, but I don't have a huge shop like yours. How did you get that Vette down the stairs into your basement ; )

    It's like Christmas every day identifying every single bolt and piece! Good luck on the project, it's going to take allot of patience to finish this thing up!
    Working on another piece of land since the State would not let me put ion a driveway where I wanted, I would have to build a frontage road and go through two other properties and of course I would have to cement it since my cars don't go on gravel. this other lot is only 5 minute away and will be perfect if everything works out. I have a meeting with the City on Tuesday to get the OK?
