Hello. I'm a new member and would like to tell you a little about my project. It's a 1957, VIN# 189 that was originally a single 4 barrel car. My plan is to restorod it with C5 drivetrain and running gear. I have sold the frame and currently am deciding which frame company will best suit my needs.
My '99 LS1 is GM crate engine (Corvette, not Camaro) that I bought a few years ago from a guy who deals with GM Surplus. I thought about a supercharger along with other mods, but will most likely keep it natural.
I want to make it for the street and occasional autocross, and mostly just to enjoy old styling with new mechanicals.
Any tips from more experienced pros out there?

Welcome Aboard! 
My neighbor recently purchased a '57 from someone in Colorado. It hasn't arrived here yet but he is already planning the restoration. Good luck with your '57!
