Anyone know what happened to this guy? The last entry was 2017 on his site.....even his site forum has no reply for an ask for updates in August.
Just curious.....haven't been on the site in years and hopped on to check it out......lot of good reads on there.....

The Corvette Restoration Page – A site devoted to documenting the completion of a frame-off restoration on a classic 1971 Corvette Stingray. (corvette-restoration.com)

It was a good site, and a talented guy, who had no fear. I suppose his life took a different turn......like so many. The car is probably sitting just as the last pictures showed......someday someone will buy it, or maybe he will finally finish it??

Yeah, it's been quite a long time since Tim has posted any updates about the status of his '71 project. I know he moved into or built a different house up there in Maine which interupted his progress and then life/work probably got in the way. There is still some activity on the associated forums, but mostly just me on the rare occasions when I post on the progress (or lack therof) on my '71 and Bob who's doing a full custom '68.
