I just had to do this:

^ ^ ^ I had a problem inserting the photo. It was uploading sideways. I think it's okay now. Thanks, Bill.

That BEAUTIFUL PICTURE sez it ALL. THAT's what we all live for and validates what we go through maintaining and caring our beloved C2's.

Stunning! You portrayed/captured your '66 in an ideal setting. Yeh, that road screams some tire spinning marks

Thanks, Jim. Seems like some burn-out marks are in order.

Thank you. I have Rich "Rich5962" to thank for its recent frame-off.

Thanks. The car was painted in 1992 as part of its first (non frame-off) restoration.

Thanks for the comments. That was a great drive and I'm glad I could share it with you guys.

I truly love that car. What a great photo.

I had the pleasure of meeting Carl and his lovely wife at his home a few years ago coming back from the Amelia Island Concours. I was with a friend and when we got there his wife had coffee and cookies all ready for us when we arrived. I had about a 4 hour ride back home and it was a great waker-upper. A awesome family.

This was the first time I met him after many phone conversations and emails. It was the beginning of a new friendship, and only wish we lived closer together to continue more close Corvette fun.

I had much going on with other restorations and Carl was very patient waiting about a year for me to free up for a full body off and frame restoration. It was a pleasure to work with him and bring his beautiful car back home after completion. That day was as much fun for me as it was for him.

Always a pleasure to have Corvette fun and to meet new friends along the way. It's such a great feeling for me to see the smiles and share the fun folks have with their beautiful cars.

Rich
