Default 1953 Restro

I found this old site on the internet yesterday about a 1953 Corvette restoration. But couldn't find anything else about it. Does anyone know if they ever finished it or the serial number of the car? http://www.jmenterprizesinc.com/2009...-corvette.html

The car in the photo's looks very similar to the #29 car which was on display at the Florida NCRS Winter meet several years ago. I believe Vette Vues magazine did a feature on it. There was some controversy because another VIN #29 did exist. The car on display sure looked like the real thing.

The car on display in FL. several years ago was the real # 029 the other was a fake the guy made a vin tag for because the original # 029 had not surfaced in years and he thought he could get away with saying his car was the 029 car when his was really a 54 Vette. That is the real story in a nut shell The real #029 is still in FL. as far as I know.
