LUV THE COLOR, 6 TAIL LIGHTS AND THE LS3!! Bad a**!!



Were you involved in the LS3 transplant? Clue us in on the build.

Again, very nicely done.

For those who like some details, I've owned my 1964 coupe for over 30 years. Decided to restore/restomod this time. StreetShop C-4, disc brakes, LS-3, Tremec TKO-600, always loved Gunmetal Grey so went with this Medium Spiral Grey look-a-like that I saw 6-7 years ago.

My goodness, that is one gorgeous Corvette! Well done. Congrats on the finished product. I'm sure you'll have no regrets. Every time I see a C2 with six taillights, it leaves me wondering why Shinoda settled for four.

Live well,

SJW

I can see why you needed it back- I will like on and say the LS swap is stunning.

The bean-counters won. After none of his awesome Corvair concepts reached production, he defected to Ford.
