thank you for the interest in #36. i appreciate all of the attention it recieved at vette-fest and here on the site. your feedback has been most helpful. the items mentioned here, as well as several not mentioned, have been corrected. i took the car to VF to get exposure, and i am pleased with how much it received. i will attempt to post photos of the items corrected for those who are interrested or have commented on the issues with this car. these will be posted later today or this weekend.

I believe this post by Joe pretty much sums up the correctness, or lack of it, of the original restoration, and why it did not score well at VF.

IMO, Joe deserves a lot of credit for coming on here, admitting there were some issues with the car, saying that he was going to correct them, even posting pictures as he goes along. Hopefully everyone on here will be supportive of Joe as he makes the needed corrections to the car and next time out, the car “knocks them dead”.

Starting with the fuel line.

Go look at the original photos of #3 & #5. The ZL1 fuel line is configured the same as L72 or L78. The fuel line in the photos here is not even close.

Excellent comment. This group is a tough crowd, but it also hosts some of the most informed people in the hobby. A car like this deserves to be dead-nuts correct and what better place to find out just how a car measures up the 'the standard'? Sounds like Joe is willing to take the heat to get it right. I wish him the best and look forward to seeing it again.

I'd take a scraper to that 'GM' decal in the door jam for starters, I think that's a '68 thing....
