I placed in the top 10 out of 75+ Corvettes at an all 'vette show two weeks ago. Don't show it much, I prefer driving it. Everything on the dash works except the tach and clock.

Nice hood fit - you hardly ever see a '56-'57 with a good hood fit across the front, as most folks don't understand how the parallelogram hinges were designed to work.

Thanks. Actually, It fits a lot better. If you look closely at that frontal view screen right, there's a larger gap. I loosened the hood from hinges to access the electric fans. I just haven't adjusted the fit yet.
