Sweetness!! My very first Corvette was a twin to this car (sans the upgrades) way back in 1970. Sold her in early '72, with a hardtop, for $800. I know...I know.

Dude was on your *** the whole way........

Not sure if it is due to being strapped down, but you got the stance nailed....... my vote is to keep it that way........

And with a hardtop to boot! I could never lower any of my cars. At my age it is a major undertaking to get back out and up from these cars as it is.
