Hi everyone,
I finally got an opportunity to take a few pictures of our recently acquired 71 coupe and scan a "before" photo.

Vette(s): 1972 coupe/350 cid/mild cam/4 spd/20 ft. paint (looks perfect from 20 ft.), but it sure runs nice.

Beautiful restore job, Chris....What size tires are those BFG (on the finished product)?

The tires are P225/70SR-15's.  I have run 255/60's on some of my past C3's, but will probably stick with these tires as I don't plan to drive this car as hard as I drove the others and these tires won't ding up the paint as much as the wider ones.

Nice job on the finished project. Looks like the fellow did a nice job. Have you been able to get her out much? I know you were excited to be bringin her home.
I hope to get mine out today. It's supposed to be 50ish -no rain- an sunny. We'll see, Indaina this changes pretty quick depending on which way the wind blows.
If all works out I see a lil' afternoon road trip commin on
