Love the postings. I find this project to be the typical Hot Rodders story. Passion at an early age. A lot of hard work with little money. Then kids and and family enters the picture. Everything is put on hold. The car sits in a garage or at Mom and Dads. Then after the kids start to get older, the passion starts to rear it's head again and the next thing you know you are towing the car home for a total makeover. Congrats and I think builds like this are a great example of what most gear heads go through.
LOVE to see old projects get new life!! I need to train my two dogs to guard the Camaro!!
At least you kept your car when the kids came. I sold mine for the down payment on our first house. Now I have my oldest working with me on the car.
I like the roll bar and work inside to stiffen up the car. Custom bars and cages are the only way to go. Most of the kits that I've seen aren't tight, and gobble up a lot of room inside the car.

Looks great. Always good to see more Texans on board. Glad to hear you're recovering well. 7 surgeries in the last year myself. Stay healthy and keep the pics coming.
wow those wheels are perfect for the car. did you build the dimensions of the car around the wheel? didnt look like you had spacersin there, and corvettes have a ton of backspacing.
Once the suspension was picked out we picked out the wheels. I did end up with 1/2" spacers on the front. I figured that somewhere in the future I would step up to some custom made wheels, but for now I hope they will work out.
