Dave, and you know that nobody will ever ask if it's a replica I bet.

That’s flattering, Tim! Thank you! :laugh:

I guess we’ll see when I start taking it out to some shows. You’re probably right, but I think it’s more related to nobody knows about these cars rather than my build quality. Who would make a replica of a car nobody has heard about, so by default, it has to be real!:wink:

I tried to make it as close as I could to the real deal. I probably have as many hours studying the assembly as much as I did building it. I am glad I didn’t go the donor chassis route and fabricated the inner structure like original.

Cheers:beers:

----Dave,,,Don't sweat the dimensions. The originals are all different from each other anyway. I'll bet yours is some where in the middle of all the the originals anyway.....Bill S

One coming up in May

Dave, I ran into an old friend of yours today. Three Austin guys took their Corvettes for a country drive. We had the odd years together, 1963, 1965, and 1967.

Well that’s just cool as snot, Tim! She was a fine old gal! Just a carefree driver to use and abuse. I hope he’s having fun with it. Looking forward to seeing you again this year in November! Tell him I said hello.

Cheers
Dave

I see the owner most every Saturday. He rebuilt the headlight motors on both of my coupes and fixed the canceling unit for the turn signals on the white '67. He's just a great mechanic that loves to help out friends with their Corvettes. It is the Corvette he loves to drive, the others are sheltered in place.

Excellent. Glad to hear it, Tim!

Cheers
Dave

Hey Dave, so what do you have going on now? I think I am starting to get car builder withdrawal syndrome!

Hey Joe! I've been pretty idle. After the 507 got done I decided to take a break for a few months. Not much going on. But I did take in my buddy's 68 Charger to add air conditioning, convert the grill to electric doors, add a radio, finish up the dash and straighten out some wiring along with realignment of the shifter since it wasn't going into gear smoothly.

Then after that left, I took in my neighbor's 64-1/2 Mustang to get it back on the road for her. Been sitting fir 10yrs or so. I should be firing that up today!

So as you can see, been pretty calm around here with nothing major happening. I need to find another something to build! :biggthumpup:
