Thank you, it has definitely been a labor of love. Ive put c6 z51 brakes, front and rear control arms with coilovers. Ive fully welded and strengthened the frame. I have a LS with lingenfelter cam, high comp pistons, etc, and a t56 trans with 4:11 rearend. As of now im still working on the body, i had acouple things i wasnt happy with but when im done i can tell and have pics. I havent done anything with the interior yet but i plan on making a simple interior that would resemble the c3 but also compliment the exterior of the car. Ill try to get more pics when i am able.

I detest most nose jobs on Vettes. This I like. In NOLA proper? Doorgunner is about a half hour north of the city. Calls himself a rookie but he has gotten pretty good at glass work.

Hey Josh
This forum is a compliment to all that visit. Just filled with a tremendous amount of good info and people more than willing to help. Your project car sounds very interesting, so keep us posted on the progress. I wouldn't worry too much about pleasing everyone, what's most important is that you like it. That said, I'm guessing most if not all will find your efforts well.
Vic
