Great mix of old and new. Anyone would love to have it. Does that chassis and suspension use a mono leaf front or rear? I couldn't see it but the ride height looks great as do the ZO6 wheels. What size are they?

That is really nice. Inside and out. Top to bottom.
I really like what you did with the center gauges.

Nicely done Mark.

The chrome box on the passenger side firewall...is that your wiper door actuator in there? If so, that's looks nice and clean so I'm curious how you engineered it.
