Great project! Subscribing. I've always had a soft spot for C3's especially when they are all raced out. Looking forward to meeting you & your car at an event one day.

Looking good - and this post is my way of subscribing!

It's not a mid year Vette. Those would be the 63-67 cars. I'd love to build a mid year and drive the crap out of it. Those things cost so much money that it's out of the budget for a long time.

Looking good with the color. Can't wait to see it painted with the lights installed.

Having owned like 10 of 'em '66 and '67's) -- I'm pretty sure it's NOT a mid year Vette.... I was saying "I'm a mid year Vette guy"... not that this build is.

FINALLY HAVE PAINT! Actually had it last week but just got back to London from the weekend in Poland and have been without internet access for a few days.

Any second guessing or doubt I had in my color choice is completely gone. Can't wait to see it with the hood / t-tops / etc painted and assembled. Should be cut and buffed this week.

Current plan is to black out all trim and the chrome bumpers - going to be a pain on pieces like the door handles but should look viscious.











Don't remember what position I had the coilovers cranked to but hopefully will settle or drop on the springs a bit as weight is put back in.

Cannot even begin to describe how ecstatic I was when I saw these photos. I dropped the body off at JD Corvette in May of 2011 - it's been a long road and a lesson in patience but sometimes good things come to those who wait!

Looks really good! That color is perfect!

It's looking good!

Cut and buffed, now with the T-tops and hood painted up as well:









Getting them to send pictures while I'm overseas has been a bit like pulling teeth but boy do I get excited when I see them pop in my inbox.

Can't wait to get back and start reassembly. Next thing to figure out is how to mount the man pedal and the DBW LS3 accelerator.

Looks great.

Very nice! I bet you are going nuts getting see pictures but NOT being able to see it in person. How long before you come home?

That is going to be one nice Vette!
