[QUOTE=sgreen4067]Konrad,
I would help you anytime. You are a super nice guy. Plus how can i turn you down when you bring me beer!!!
Car looks awsome.. i seen it when it was a mess and now look at it.. just awsome.. I remember the other thread when people said you were nuts and crazy.. But now look, a 100% mint vette... But guess what, The fun starts now with mods, so lets ripped it apart again 
Steve "connecticut" will also help you anytime, he's only 30 mins from you, or you can call cow. Once i get my vette back we can go cruising...We'll hit the Berlin turnpike and goto hooters, and i'll get them to christen your hood!!!

Some time in the future I would hope to have the time and money to do something similar.

I did the drivetrain work and put it back together with my friend. Believe me, it was very time consuming, taking it apart, doing the drivetrain, putting it back together. Alltogether came out to about $13500-14000.

Konrad you did a good job. You also did it in record time! Did you get the title straight yet? Seems like that should be the only thing left.

All the information that I needed was on here and some of the parts I bought off members of the site.
It took a lot of long hours, cigs and gettin yelled at by the old lady, but it was definitely worth it.
I have to say that the biggest pain was taking the drivetrain apart, since I had to change the slave cylinder. But I've learned a lot from it and I appreciate the car that much more.
Special thanks to Scott Green (SGreen4067) and Chuck at Corvettes of Westchester (CoW). Both helped me out a great deal. Don't know if I'd be driving it now if it wasn't for them. Thank you!

Hope to see some of you at the gatherings,
Thanks everyone
