Re: 63 vette Grand Sport engine build??
Bill -
I think this is a picture of GS #1 VIN tag that is from the Dykstra archives.............  Mom and Dad missed you at Bloomington this weekend as well (I didn't make it either). Jake

Re: 63 vette Grand Sport engine build??
Interesting photo of the vin tag. Looks like it's attached with trim tag rivits. I was at the Tech Center for a while in the 70s. The name Tom T doesn't ring a bell. Sounds like he wasn't around much though!

Re: 63 vette Grand Sport engine build??
----Two things are interesting in this great picture from the "Dykstra" archives (thanks Jake) other than the trim tag. Notice that the door hinge is made from aluminum! Also, if you look inside that crack you can see the thin, woven glass that was used thruout the Grand Sport build process.
----Dont know where in the Tech Center Tom was, but I can tell you that he was fairly tight with Zora.....Bill S
