So what did you all do to this beauty? Looks immaculate. Really like the later C3 seats and interior job.

Now that you have 245s on the front, maybe you can look at lowering her a bit.

Thanks Brent.....I have a thread with all my progress
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...ight=hammadown

I wanted to post a few quick pics so I started a new thread I'll take more pics when the weather gets better.
I like the way the car sits but I'm sure it would look better lowered. and the car should settle down a bit more once the new parts start to work a little. it's only been sitting on the tires for the past week everthing is still tight!

Awesome, just awesome (if we say awesome anymore hahaha). I love it, very nice!

I think my favorite part of the whole car is the engine and engine bay. I love the classic and clean look. Very nice!

I am as often as I can. Today I had the car at a show i sposored and am a judge at. The day was perfect for it. This week we are going to Carlisle and the following weekend we will be at Lime Rock for the vintage races

You really should try to make it to the Bass Pro shop's cruise night at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro.Hundreds of nice cars. Every other thursday. It just happened so the next is two thursdays from now. A lot of RI cars show up there.

Try to make it once before the end of the season. It is a good excuse for a nice cruise in the car.
