I'll reply to all of the PM's tomorrow in order. For everyone, here is a very high level overview of the car in teh spirit of full disclosure:

Crisp, clean body completed by Best of Show Coachworks includes following work:
• Fresh sheet metal throughout, new fenders, door skins, quarter panels, steel cowl hood, front and rear valence, etc. Factory floors are rust free.
• Re-pop RS nose perfectly fitted and finished, mating line for upper and lower pieces has been smoothed. All new chrome, urethane nose, etc.
• Smoothed firewall painted body color.
• Painted in 2006 Corvette “Monterrey Red Metallic.” Paint is gorgeous, really pops under the sun, and goes straight dark in off light. Straight, excellent gaps and fitment, super nice work. Incredible.
• Undercarriage is undercoated.
• Car has been mini-tubbed to accept 335 rear tires under stock quarters.
• Car has a full set (all four windows) of new glass in boxes needing installation. Includes brand new power window regulators.
• New front and rear bumpers, front and rear light trim, lenses, etc.
Suspension and other items:
• Lateral Dynamics 3-Link Rear suspension installed. Car is currently fitted with a demo (fully functional) rear housing, new housing is 95% fabricated and only needs final welding. Will include all new bushings and rod ends, etc.
• Rear end has axles for 59.5 hub to hub width. Does NOT have third member.
• Front frame has been completely seam welded on jig, and powder coated. Setup for coil over front shocks with upper mounts similar to the units developed by ATS. Has Lateral Dynamics UCA’s. Currently sits on old stock LCA’s. Stock spindles. Some steering gear included (Idler and Pitman arms, etc).
• “Street” six point roll cage. Cage will not meet the specific requirements of NASA or SCCA due to bend in main hoop. Cage was fit as tight as possible to the roof for maximum headroom. Bolt on “through bars” from firewall to front frame. DOM .120” wall tubing used.
• Front and rear lights, outer door handles, other small items also included.
What it needs to be completed:
• Front suspension could be completed by simple modification of aftermarket tubular LCA’s, required for lower coil over mounting points.
• Steering box and remainder of tie rods, etc. are needed.
• Alternative would be to install complete aftermarket front frame such as DSE, etc.
• Needs shocks and springs. Needs all brakes including M/C, etc.
• Full drivetrain needed. Does not include driveshaft, etc.
• Needs third member, 31 spline axles included.
• Many of the original interior pieces are included for fitment, etc, but all would need to be refurbished or replaced.

Thanks,
Mark
