Default 59 Corvette project getting started

Would like to introduce my project. Ebay Purchase 18 months ago. Downs body with modified Art Morrison chassis. C6 345mm and 330mm brakes from Kore3/Tobin with initial help from Frank to figure out the Ford Spindles. Drawings done last year from Jason Rushforth. Car will have Ls3/T56 Magnum from Street Rod Engines. Worked on the car slowly over the last 18 months and decided at Thanksgiving to hand it over to the very capable hands of Kurt and Paul at Autokraft. Car will be painted the Blue/Grey from the Aston Martin One-77 concept car if we can get the paint code. Cove will be laid in carbon fiber. Windshield is cut down about 1/2 inch in front and 2 inches in the corners so it will be laid back with only the bottom trim and part of the side a-pillars being used. Small body mods will be done throughout the car.

Forgeline wheels ordered from Frank with 19x11.5 Rears with 325/30 tires and 18x10 fronts with 285's.

Interior will be done by the Tracy at Recovery Room Rod Interiors.

Thanks to the Lateral-G community I went down the C1 vette route after having a check and driving 4 hours to buy a 68 Camaro Convertible

Car will not be a trailer queen and will be driven hard. Looking forward to the feedback and input as we build the car.
