Well, the vette isn't running. It is a total project (all apart). But, I have the Camaro back (gotta finish it myself). The vette was to defray the difference in the work he actually did vs. what he was supposed to do. I figure he would have owed me a $2,000 refund if he had returned just the Camaro to me... So, to me, the vette is well worth $2,000. I have 3 truck loads of parts.. 3 dashes.. 2 clusters... luggage rack... all kinds of extras that I can sell, after I keep what I want for the vette. I probably will get rid of the extras at good deals to guys here instead of evilbay. I will post pix tomorrow (have to get upload cable for my camera). Thanks for warm welcome

Sorry...just having fun with the "new guy".
And...I don't have a '68, I have a '74. But after seeing your 74/81, I'm thinking of some mods!

First off, welcome aboard. There weren't a lot of cool looking cars to come out of the '70's but, IMHO, Corvettes and Camaros were some of them. I had an '89 IROC-Z with a tuned port 350 engine and stage 2 computer chip. That car would scat. I loved that car but Corvettes have always been my favorite. To each his own, I guess.
