Thanks everyone for the kind words. The body is a coupe and I hope the rest turns out as good as the frame did. I started this project with "435hp car in a box", as for the engine all I started with was the intake. This porject has taken several turns to the point that it is now being built my way. It is not NCRS (never was in the cards). My goal all along was to end up with a clean 69 BB Corvette. The current color is a newer Red (Very cheap paint job at that) that I will live with for a year or two and then its off the paint shop for a color change.

Steel Cities Gray (I think that is a cool color)
