Default Like a kid on Christmas Eve

This morning I spoke with Rich Mozzetta (Rich5962) who gave me the good news that my '66 is ready to come home tomorrow, after undergoing an extensive frame-off restoration. Anyone who is familiar with Rich's craftsmanship knows the end product is above top shelf. I am a lucky Vette guy to have been able to have my car done by him. My car was , and it is now .

I would like to post some pics in a day or two. Stay tuned. Thanks.

Pictures are in the link in post #3
What's the weather going to be like in Florida where you're picking up the car?? Whole state looks like it's under a hurricane watch.

The NCRS will not let me look at the pic because I am not a member of there private club. That is OK I would rather not be a member and miss out on the pic as to be a member of there =------ club

Here are some before and after pics- in no particular order. I don't think anyone will have a hard time figuring which is which. The car looks even better in person. I'm glad I have a lift so all the work Rich did underneath the car is available for viewing pleasure.

And what a guy Rich is. Because of the prolonged threat of inclement weather in this area, he delivered the car in his enclosed trailer to my home. That's the way he is.

A white C3 is jealous of "the red one's" face-lift?

That is really nice work. Very Pretty looks better than new! I am sure the Hurst shifter is an improvement also.

Even that old Harley is jealous.

I had a Hurst in there prior to the restoration. I changed it out for a Hurst with the bolt-on T-handle.

Absolutely, without exaggeration, Rich is the best. Not a single imperfection in his work. Like I said I am luck to have met him.
