Phil, Mike and Grady are just a few of the people that put a LOT of personal time in on this restoration helping me day or night (mostly nights) answering my many questions and supplying me with numerous photos and even parts from their personal collection. I cannot Express my appreciation to you guys as well as several others who helped when I called. It was rather strange being on the receiving end for a change and many of you made yourselves available whenever I requested help.

Spectacular Rick, your work is second to none! I absolutely can't wait to see this one at MCACN....must admit I'm gonna miss this thread, it's been fun watching this beauty progress to completion. Now go start working on that 70 Z28 and maybe you can post some pics of that one along the way.

Looks great Rick. Any chance we might see it at SCR22? I'm sure that there would be a spot for it inside the Corvette museum.

Thanks to Phil Woj for going over all my photos in this thread and then inquiring about the clip that holds the wiper squirter hose onto the cowl. I know the 1970 Chevelles had them and was unsure about the 69's. Since there was not one on this car when we found it I just incorrectly assumed that the 69's did not come with them. Maybe the owner removed it when he took the hoses and hood off. At any rate and thanks to Phil it is now back in place. Yet another reason why constructive criticism is a good thing. Thanks Phil.
