No pity....but so sorry to hear about your cancer coming back.

Prayers and positive energy sent your way.

12 Vettes....that is a lot of accomplishment.

I am also on the downside of my time left here and can relate to not wanting to leave a mess for wife and others to clear out.

Good luck with your recovery.

Good luck with your sales.....seem very reasonable....pics would help.

Take care Sir. God Bless on this special day.

Sorry to hear this news Doug. You already know the status of my build or I would have been all over your stuff for a race replica, especially your engine. Chassis sounds very nice as well. I hope everything sells quickly for you so you can focus on getting better and getting back out in that boat to fish.

If I can do anything to help please let me know.

You can beat this buddy.

Hello David,

Thank you very much. Meeting you was certainly the highlight of the week. I remain optimistic, but I am a realist. They had me dead and buried in November of 2015, but I'm still here. I am just about always out of gas. When I got home from your house at 4:PM, I crashed on the couch, and didn't get up until about 7. Ate dinner, watched TV, and wend to bed at 9. No energy left.

Hope to see you this summer. There's a flounder with your name on it.

So sorry to hear the news. Cancer has affected everyone and always seems to be getting worse. I hope you beat this again and put it behind you for good.

PM sent about motor, trans and radiator.

Default Another thing I forgot.. Sll Block Hood, 68-72

Original Vette hood for a smallblock, fits 68-72.

YES I KNOW 68 HAS A DIFFERENT LATCH SETUP.

If you have a 68 and don't have a hood, be happy with this one. If you have a 69-72, be overjoyed.

$75.00 Pickup only.

terrible photo. It's the only one I have online. I'll make another one tomorrow.

Hello Mike,


The rear has a new Eaton posi unit with new Richmond 3.73 gears. All the bearings are Timken, and all seals are new.

Unfortunately, I have no plans to separate it from the chassis. The cost of the entire chassis is $6,500.00.

Hi David
Okie Doke. The hood is your. I'll let you know tomorrow about the transmission. A chap from NY is coming up to see the engine, trans, and radiator.

Doug,

Though I'm sorry to hear your news, you beat it once, you can beat it again. Stay positive! Vitally important.

PM sent on the engine.

Hello Mike,

Thank you for the kind words. I remain optimistic, but realistic.

Please re-send your PM. I didn't receive it.
