I hope I didn't misread this. Everyone else is going

over the sig pic.

Good luck on the completion of the project.

If you want to send any of the old pieces my way, I would love to have them.

Cozmo had it right. The top picture is before and the bottom picture is where I am on reassembly. Should make a little extra noise out the backend and the rest of the rebuild is mostly bling. I'll update it as it goes back together.

I can attest to the fact that Jim drives the car to every show as does his wife Janet with her C5 Vert. When you want to see super attention to detail Jim and Janet know how to do it.

I have not been on the Forum since 7-14 but to answer your question about the plenum cover, ironically, just yesterday, the inventor of that plenum cover posted on this post. richescorvettes produced the original, the first copy and kindly allowed us to copy it a 3rd time. It's a great looking piece and the theme is the "cooling finned look of the old fuelies"! He has been approached many times about duplicating this cover but I know of only the 3!
By the way Rich, if you read this this, "Attention to Detail"! Last time I looked that was your middle name!!!
