Hey guys, just an update, been driving the car a LOT this week and I'm developing more and more confidence the car is ready to rock n roll. Did a 200 mile or so round trip the other day and it drove beautifully.

It's going in Jan 2 for interior - I finished dynamatting everything recently.

Still have a few little wiring issues here and there but the car is 100% drivable right now.

I'll try and take some good pics this week and get em' posted.

It's taken three times as long (due to 4 kids and a job where I travel!) and cost three times as much as I thought this would all take but I LOVE the solid rear and the new stance/look of the car.

As a side note, there are a few shots of my car in the most recent Vette magazine!

Thanks guys - it's been a long haul on this project for sure.

I'm going to get some pics up in the next few weeks.

Basically everything is done, all electrical, interior, etc. I have been driving the car around quite a bit and it definitely is a head turner, much more so than before the chassis project!

I know this is an old thread but gotta say I love this car!!! Didn't know you were localish either. Surprised I'm just now seeing this! Being a stickshift racer myself I have a lust for building a stickshift C4 with the powerplant out of my Camaro.
