I, along with prob 1/2 dozen others, tried to buy this SWC body before Mike ever got started on it. Ken wasn't selling and I don't blame him...prob one of the nicest bodies I've seen on a C2 coupe of any year. I get to see Mike's work close up and personal and the videos still don't do them justice. I'm glad to see this great SWC finally get the treatment it deserved at Mike's hands as it had sat for years at another shop (which is when I saw it first).

Dan, Yours is a "street shop special".....This one is a "street and performance special".......they are both crap. This one runs a frigging 98" belt. Vintage Air Frontrunner is the way to go.
