One thing I just thought of to add to your list of things to do: in the background of the last photo I can see some shelves with trophies on them.
Might as well add to your list: make more shelves.

Did you have that new driveway put in just for the photoshoot?
And those "raised gills" look outstanding from the bumper view.

HEY DOORGUNNER,
That driveway is 20 plus years old. It gets real good sealer every couple years. I KNOW A GUY !!!!
BRANDON,
Got those trailing arms from Corvette Guys in Beloit, Wisconsin. No core charge at that time. May have changed by now. Super nice pieces.

Been off line for several weeks working on my latest headache. I am putting a six point cage in my 68 roadster. Designed it so the body can be removed without cutting the bars from frame. Each leg fore and aft will slide out after bolt removal. For all the die hard drag racers, yes I know a bolt in cage is only approved for 10 seconds or slower but that should work fine for my application. The main hoop and passenger side swing out is complete. More to come, I hope.

At this point while you are still fitting the roll bars in place why not weld in a bar the right height for a harness bar for harnesses through those seats. The one cross bar there is low for that, could weld in a bar across the perfect height to connect to.

Finished the Dynamat install. Just got the new cowl induction hood and set it on to see if I will go this route. Should have plenty of room now for the Shafiroff big block bullet!!!!
