Thanks for the replies. As for the next 2 projects first will have to be the 56 ford pickup for my son then a 63 vette and yes in that financial order :lol:
but I have to say that as far as info on restoring a car there is no greater following than that of corvette lovers. BTW this was my first resto ever :cheers:

That car is causing a swelling in my groin. :)

I wouldn't have thought Cragar S/S to be a good aesthetic match for a C3, but it sure works on your car.
