I had 6 pictures of the car when it was a basket case that I had between two pieces of Plexiglas. I then had a book of a bunch of pictures. I had also made up a "1958 CORVETTE FUN FACTS" and gave a brief history of the making of the corvette (53) and about the 58...like first year of seat belts, dual head lights, etc.
People really liked to look through that...and most couldn't believe the shape it was in. I had so many people say "YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME"!!?!!?
I had a blast talking to so many people.

Congratulations. That is a beautiful car.
I like how you put the table with restoration pictures BEHIND the car. Did not distract from the front view of the car, yet obviously drew attention.
Great job!

If there is one 'takeaway' from your struggles with this restoration, I hope its that you realize these cars weren't built with CAD/CAM computer systems, 3D printers and robots. Nearly everything is a compromise and very often, "....perfection is the enemy of good enough"

Well, that's.......that's Just Plain WHACKY! Congrats. Love the seats...car color combo is super sharp and classy. I lived in Concord from '63-'68, and then again from '89-'91 very near Clayton! I like Concord. Small world.....
