And thank you for not putting a Dakota Digital instrument cluster in the '58.

Every time I see a '58 with trunk irons I'm reminded of a guy who told me the reason they stopped installing them was because the danger they are to the driver and passenger in a rear end collision. I guess it bothered me because back in the mid 1970's I daily drove a 1960 Corvette to school and back, and a lady in an Old's 88 rear ended me one night at Colima and Whittier Blvd while I was waiting to make a left turn. Her great big bumper went 1/3 up my trunk lid without breaking the trunk lid. I imagined the studs and nuts on a set of spears shearing and the spear rotating through the back of my neck.

I'm just curious what kind of brake master cylinder set up you have on the '58? Not having a brake booster or master cylinder on the firewall above the steering column looks really clean.

I have a Dakota Digital in my 66 GTO. It functions perfectly. Then I looked up the same VHX for my 61 when I get to that point, uh!

Those are two really stunning examples of what can be done with imagination and $$$. Yet, they still outwardly are very recognizable for the underlying cars they are. GLWS!

Will be watching for both of these cars to go across the block.

I simply couldn't do it without a reserve, but these cars will most definitely draw a "ton" of interested from those who can afford it!

Good luck with the sale(s)!

We used a 90 degree mount that’s under the dash for both brake and clutch master cylinder. I love the clean firewall.

I noticed there are no stops or anything for the hood on the 58, which if you don't know by now is to me one of the most beautiful cars I've seen. I want to do this on mine. Are you just using the actuator to locate the hood when closed or is there something I'm not seeing? I will be driving mine did you notice any buffeting of the hood.

Not Red Rob

Thank you! Just using the actuator to hold the hood down, the weatherstrip along the back of the hood cushions everything. Hood was nice and tight at about 110 MPH, haven’t tested pas than and don’t plan too.

We also made custom hood hinges that open the up instead of pivoting, to allow the intake air to go directly from the inter cooler, to the throttle body.

Who did this for you and if you don't mind my asking what did it cost?

Not Red Rob

Our interior guy that did the rest of the interior is building them, can’t wait to show off the finished products. Having 3 pieces made, wrapped to match and leather straps. Not sure about the cost yet, having a set made for the ‘57 as well.

I’ll be there..

Love them both.

I prefer C2 (my personal fav body style) but love the twin turbo work.

Hard to choose just one.

Sounds like the custom-fitted Schedoni glove leather luggage that's optional on Ferraris; I had a set made for my 1973 Daytona Spyder back in '75 for about $3,000.00, and these days USED Schedoni Ferrari luggage goes for north of $16,000.00 - don't know what the price is now for a NEW set.

The Testarossa luggage is where we got the idea from. Went to the Upholstery guys shop yesterday, and they are looking amazing, cant wait to see them in the car, he is trying to finish up this weekend. Nothing like last minute.... I think it will be worth the effort, and add value to the car.

Not Red Rob

Well my transport bailed on me a couple days ago, so looks like I’ll be buying a 48’ enclosed trailer and delivering the 2 Vettes myself. Not looking forward to the 1,500 mile trek to Scottsdale, hope the weather is good.

The silver lining is I’ll have a free ride home for 2 cars if I find something I can’t live without.

69z28&ss396

Damn if you were closer or on this side, I’d let you borrow my two car hauler.

It’s open, but free is free!

Not Red Rob

Thanks! I probably need one anyway, just wish I had more than 3 days to get one bought. Found a used one local to me today, hope it checks out tomorrow.

Waiting to hear what it went through for......

I go as a spectator every year since about 2006 (live 3 hours southeast)...it sure has grown a lot...it too is entertainment and a perspective on pop culture...but I like it...I will go by to see your cars and give you a "thumbs up"...they are great looking Corvettes.
