My next Restomod project. 54 Vette
Since my 62 is on its way to Barrett Jackson Vegas thought I would start a thread on my next one.
Quick background. I bought car at an estate auction 80% done. Gentlemen commissioned build at local high end shop and passed away before completed. Work done so far is exceptional.
I'm installing a 525hp LS3 Leather interior,
Car has Morrison chassis,new 9" rear end with Strange center section.. Underneath of car is gorgeous. All welds smoothed,all stainless plumbing,rack&opinion steering,4 wheel disc brakes,coil over suspension, I'll post pics as I go. Here's a couple for now

That's a no expense spared build that was going on. It sure doesn't look like there are any corrections or re dos. It just needs to be completed. Outstanding! Please keep the pictures coming.

Congrats on your acquisition. Interesting, a good friend of mine has a '54 he has been working on as well....retro rodding it. Project has gone dormant though for a while....I will post a few pics for you to compare against.

That's gonna be a nice one. It's a little farther along than mine. If I was that far I'd be done with it in a month. What's the reason for the delay?
