Looking good Neil

Neil, I love what you've done with this car...I was watching the previous owners build thread for a while and love where you've taken it!

In all seriousness, if you ever decide you're going to move on to another project and sell this one, please let me know as I just sold my '69 roadster a few months ago and have started looking for something in the same look and feel as what you're building.

Thanks!

Road race vette
 

Very cool. Nothing like a vette with
Flaires, big cheater slicks and side pipe headers

Now time to go run it hard

Bob

Now that's a shine. Looking awesome!

Sweet! Big fan of the C3's. Good job man.

This is just beautiful, and the paint looks like glass! Cant wait to see some pics of it in action.

The hard top installed...

so much awesome!!

Those wheels just look so correct for this car! Looks awesome so far!

I came across this picture today. I thought it was very inspiring and captures the feeling I'm trying to convey through my project.

69 Road Race car
 

Not sure where you are from but the Larry Park
Memorial is sat/sun July 2/3 at Crows landing-CA
There will be plenty of your type of cars there
running as they come each year... very cool stuff

I will be in that funny looking black Italian car with
the wing as my Bird won't be quite ready

Bob

Not sure if it is or not, but it reminds me of the James Garner cars.

69 Road Race
 

My buddy has James Garner's backup Lola T-160 Can Am car
He will be running it again at the Monterey Historics
Its been a couple of years since we were there
I am the Crew Chief.. he says he has a new ace
mechanic to help us out this year to make life easier
I like easier the older I get:)

Bob

Could you take some pics of it for us? very cool.

Thanks.

Thanks Bob. Sounds like a great event. Unfortunately, I'm all the way out East in Tampa, FL.

Fab and paint work has been completed. I will bring the car home in a few days for wiring, dash/gauges, and interior.

The car looks great, I love the hood I had one on my 69 Z/28 in the 70's.

Another fastback
There was one more really nice car but
Taking the picture was right into the Sun so
I never got it. I think a few did not come back
on Sunday and a few have switched to new cars
and are running in Cam S class. A very tough class
with multiple National champions that was won but
a young Lady out of Oregon in a newer ZO6

Fun times

Bob

Cool pics, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing Bob!

Which vendor did you get your Hood and Fender Flares from?

The flares are from Custom Image Corvettes. I'm not sure where the hood was sourced by the previous car owner, but it's a standard-issue L88 'short' hood.

After lots of debate, I decided not to start with the full race livery on the car. We ended up doing a subtle Owens-Corning L88 style stripe which integrates well with the satin black and powder-coated parts of the car.

Here is another view.

That looks awesome!

Looks Fantastic!

Tom Argue Design completed all of the fab and paint work on the car. I will be bringing it home to wire it and do the interior. The City of Tampa decided to tear out our neighborhood streets for a water main project, so it may be a week or 2 before I can get it home.
