His vette was featured in vette magazine a few months back. Truly a work of art.

Guys, he is a member here. His name is 69myway. He used to have a lot more pics of his car during its restoration. Those were some pretty darn impressive pics.

Thanks for the compliment. I have yet to finish loading the pics of the 69 past the first engine install phase.

The six speed goes in very soon, so I will document in the site.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I am going with a Richmond. This came after long and careful thought of all the alternatives. It will have the 2.77 first gear, and .62 final on a fine spline input shaft with a Quatermaster clutch and re-use of my current Quartermaster hydraulic release bearing.

I hope to have it 100% by OctoberVette in Kissimmee. (end of October).

I am in total agreement, I have had his site bookmarked for quite awhile now and use it as a source of inspiration. If I was not so lazy I would paint my vette black and clone his, but those up here that know me would agree that washing the vette is not one of my favourite pastimes so I will likely stick to the red.
