Finally setting the body back on the chassi for the final time, and test fitting the Z06 Spyder wheels (the '57 is getting black chrome) these are from my '95 ZR1.

Yes sir, that's the plan. Jamie had his work cut out on this one, the body was in a lot worse condition once he got started on it. The finished body is just stunning in person.
I'm heading to the Vegas auction in a few weeks, not selling anything there, possibly buying...
Did you get started on your 58?
