My 72 restoration progress
I've been reading about several of you guys restoration projects progress so I wanted to share a little of mine. Today is the first time in a long time that I have only had one vette in the driveway. The 72 is at a lot of other places for another week or so. We left the body in Dallas and the frame is at the powder coat shop. Mike has all the rear drivetrain parts. My freshly rebuilt 320hp 390 ft lb engine is almost ready to pick up. New Bowtie overdrives 2004R tranny and a small fortune in treasure is on my back porch waiting to go in. In another month or so I get to start putting it all back together.

Hi Bill,
It sounds like progress is being made on several fronts!
Good Luck!
Happy New Year.
Regards,
Alan
PS: I hope the owner of that yellow 68 or 69 doesn't mind his hood sitting on it's point on the concrete! Sorry!
