Hey guys new to the forum Im in the beginning stages of building a 68 Heinz and Johnson #4 "replica" or "tribute" car for a friend.Im doing all the chassis,drivetrain,electrical,roll cage etc I dont do bodywork that will be left to the experts. Not much to look at yet just a stripped down 68 convertible. Im not new to working on vettes but any tips or tricks are certainly appriciated.
Thanks Steve

I had to search a little to refresh my memory on that car. A worthy object for a "tribute"

Hi Steve,
Welcome!
Check out the threads by Road-Race Vette. I believe he's built some cars similar to what you're doing.
I hope you can post some pictures as you proceed. It's fun to see what people are working on.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

There are tons of pics on a thread somewhere.
