71' L-88 Corvette Replica (kinda)
 
Its been a while since I have posted a build but instead of posting all the build pics, I have posted my build site below and then will post new pictures as I go. Update on the engine is I plan to use BluePrint Engines LS 427 FI 620hp. Not quit there yet but hope to have this on the road by the end of summer. Thanks

I have decided to go with BluePrint Engines LS3 427FI. I am still a few months away but hope to have the entire car completed this summer. More pics after this weekend

Ready to go to the powder coaters next week if I do not have to notch my front cross member to clear the balancer.
