Just a note if you don't remember -- I inherited this project - a complete frame off - LS2 - Tremec 6 speed - new everything -- Art Morrison chassis - Wilwood disc -- power windows -- power door locks -- factory style A/C balls cut into the dash - Vintage A/C - slicked the firewall -- smooth inner fenders -- from the guy that was SUPPOSED to build it for Rick -- and it sat untouched for about 2 and a half years. It was nothing but the bare body sitting on the chassis when I picked it up. Rick asked if I could retrieve it for him... and I said yes. He had a massive stroke in the meantime... but you'll see a picture of him in his new ride taken this Sunday. I delivered the car Saturday and our club (Northwest Classic Chevy Club) puts on a tri five chevy only show at the local hamburger joint (XXX Rootbeer). This is the first and only show he's been able to get to in 2 years.... so it was truly great to have him arrive in his 'new car'. Another buddy drove him to the show - where the car won a trophy. BTW -- This build was a freebie - not a pro build... but a buddy doing another buddy a favor. That's what the hobby is about right?!
