Nice and mean looking! The blue is dark enough that it made me think it was black. I love it. Great work.

What a pleasant surprise to see the "beast" here! Thanks Craig.
Rick, as you know parts of your 68 parts car made the beast whole again!
3JsVette, How is your build progressing? I want photos and a sound clip of that monster bb when you fire it, gotta make sure that Holley 850 is doing it's job.
68 NJconv 454, the side shields are from Dean and they fit and look great.
Gary (GTR1999), The trailing arms are performing flawlessly, thanks for the fine job on the rebuild.
Thanks guys for the comments, highly appreciated. At times it was a frustrating road but the end result was well worth it. Plus I had Craig (Glassman74) and Rick (DZRick) keeping me in line and pushing on.

We did in fact chase each other most of last week at all of the events. Just came in from the garage fixing things I noticed while breaking in the beast.
Thanks my friend, it means a lot coming from you because you have one fine ride which I try to aspire to.

That is one sweet vette. I just added your pics to my "favorites" collection. Those look like AR wheels; used to have them on my Camaro back in the day. I know you have been having fun building and more fun showing off . . . great job
