Wandering Eye.....
I have a 1972 Bryar Blue 350 Coupe. I really, really like it ... I think it is great car and it is pretty much the way I want it.
But .... now that it has become a nice driving car, my eye is now wandering to the next C3 project .... perhaps a vert, a big block, an LT-1 ....
Does anyone else go through this? - what did you do ?

I would tell you to enjoy what you have and built. Some people say that the grass is always greener on the other side, but I tend to not worry about the other side myself. If you really wanted a different corvette, but with a big block, change out the front suspension and drop in a big block. Basically what I am saying here is that you know your car already, do you want to start all over trying to fix someone elses issues?
Godd luck with whatever you decide to do!

I am sorta shopping for a C3 now. If you have ANY thoughts of selling that sweet car, let me know! 
We already talked at automotorplex. Love your car.

Perhaps we can chat about it next spring - as I am in no rush to do anything now - as I am still trying to wrap my arms around the notion of moving onto a new C3 project to work on - or just locking in on this nice car and just enjoying the ride ....

Thanks for the compliment! - I really enjoyed the restoration process with this car - and now that it is nearly fully restored, I am now flirting with the idea of doing another one. But my wife will only let me have one car at a time !

I will be hoping!
Just keep me in mind if you do decide to sell.

life is too short. assuming it won't put you in the poor house (literally) and it is something that you can afford to put together and enjoy also, go for it!
