Default Not a ZR1 But.....
Well, I finally finished this one up today. It is a late vin and was in aweful shape before the frame off restoration began. I have an early 53 painted and ready for assembly to be completed by the end of the month...hopefully. Probably mid May.

Here's the late vin 53 being delivered tomorrow.
BEFORE

AFTER





Can't wait to begin on 1988 ZR1 EX5023 later this year!

Wow, I was ready to be extremely jealous of you for having one. Would probably be the only Corvette I couldn't drive, just park and admire.

This one's not mine, though I do have one 53. I just restore 53-55's when I'm not doing my own.

Finally got the radio working I guess, I know that feels good for you to get this one gone. Will call you tomorrow.

Congrats on a GREAT looking job.

Absolutely beautiful and great work. I have been attempting to build up a rolling chassis I bought 20 odd years back. Wish I had your know how and ability to find parts or even blue prints. Needless to say I am very jealous. Congratulations on the job completed.

Tell the truth, you didn't do that. Some guy name Roger did this restoration I think.

LOOKS REALLY GREAT!!!

You don't have a pic of what it look liked when it first rolled in? That will REALLY show them the quality of the finish product!
Really Fantastic Work
