Hey guys,
Thanks for all the great comments. It really makes all those hours crawling around on the garage floor worth the trouble

I have before pics somewhere. I'll see if I can dig them up.

Do you want the whole car or just the interior?

I've only got about 250 miles on the engine so I haven't pushed it to the limit yet but I have got on it and rattled it through the gears a couple of times. I'm running 3.55's in the rear so the combination is pretty good. I'm very satisfied with the power so far, although I don't have any 1/4 mile times for you, I'd say it's a pretty fast car.

Beautiful car. My dad can't understand this obsession with Corvettes - and he's a GM retiree. I'd suggest that you cruise by his place in Cathedral City to try to change his mind, but at 86 he's pretty set in his ways.

Hey Greg,
If your Dad's in Cat. City he's only 5 minutes away from me.
Maybe I should go pick him up for a cruise and a nice cold beer?

A quick OT story:

My sister was visiting him a few months ago and tried to convince him to trade his newer Olds minivan (that he seldom drives) and older Buick for a sedan that his new wife would be willing to drive - maybe a Cadillac. He said that after 31 years at GM, he likes most GM cars - except Cadillacs and Corvettes. Of course, I own both.
