57/Zo6... OH MAN!!!! Look Out!

[SmokyHill]

Well you boys, I hope have checked out the website and started seeing what we have to offer. But I know you aren't expecting what we have in the works. What do you get when you cross a '57 Belair and a brand new Z06 Corvette. Im not just talking a suspension conversion, Im talking about the full chassis mating with the glorious chopped top '57 we have. WHO EVEN HAS A FULL 07 ZO6 CHASSIS! Let me tell you though, its the funnest big kid puzzle to put to gether. Hmm and I thought I saw a crate with an LS7 sitting in there, lol but who knows. I'll save that for later drool material. Man I wish you guys knew the excitment thats buzzes around here with this project starting. I wish I could tell you everything, but I promise I will keep you up to date on how its coming along. Although with what we are building this for we do need to keep some things a surprise, but I will give you tidbits to enjoy. So heres just alittle something something for starters!

That's awesome! not enough Pre-Muscle Cars going the Pro-Touring route.

[SmokyHill]

Oh man we know, but its gonna be even more then a pro-touring car. More along the lines of a GT race car. Im just begging you, please be patient because it will definitely be something no one has ever seen!!

Did you ever use this car to advertise for DynoMat?

I remember seeing a car that looks alot like this w/ the same Vette like grill a few years back at the Texas Motorplex in Ennis for a Super Chevy Show or somthing like that. It was advertising for DynoMat; It had no carpet in it exposing the DynoMat. Just wondering if it was the same car.

Lookin good. What is the estimated ride height of that bad boy? Are you going to lengthen the torque tube or slide the engine back?

[SmokyHill]

No we havent used that car for any advertisment purposes. To be honest it has only been to just a few shows in which it took without a problem, and kept Boyd Coddington from winning a perfect score... his was finished, ours was not. It is also the only none Corvette to ever be invited to the National Corvette show. I must appoligize though for the confusion with that black '55. I just put on there for the shop. Thats our flagship car right now and is just like our card.

The '57 with the chop top is what the Zo6 chassis is fitting under. The ride height is going to be just slammed, Being that we are having to channel it just to fit the chassis. Very mean, low and menacing.

And Ironworks, we are lengthening the torque tube 9 1/2's in order to make it fit.

John thanks for taking a look. I'll keep you guys updated on this project all the way along the build. You sure have a nice project on your table as well. I cant wait to see how it comes along. Novas are one of my favorite cars!
