Hey guys!

Back again with another update!

Its been awhile, and I've still been busy. Havn't been on here as often as I would like to be.
The corvette is doing great though. The front end had some fiberglass shrinkage and wrinkles near our custom modification, so it was stripped sanded cut and redone with duraglass.e Holds really strong. I'm fighting with workman's comp and my money has dried up again, so the repaint and finish is on hold. I may not be able to get to a  meeting this year. :( Maybe next year. My settlement should give me enough to finish her off and get my life back together. I'm waiting on the wheels, they keep telling me the new design pattern isn't available yet, blah blah blah.. I got the tire though, lol.

The front end modification is operational though and I will still keep it under wraps till I unveil the car. Its killing me to hold it a secret, I think its a really cool idea, and I haven't seen anyone whose done it yet.

The tranny I am going with a bowtie overdrive kit for a 765 trans built in a 700R4 chassis. So we'll see... I think I still need around 7-9K to finish up.. we'll see.

Hows everything on this front? Hows Ken and his wife?

Since I crashed my truck around ma or june of last year



Light pole :(

I've been working on my 300C... heres a video I made, another one will follow shortly. What do you guys think?

Keep working hard on your car Louis.  All good things take time.  I know from experience. Good luck to you.



Corvettes and women are the same...You want to make love to them but they keep breaking down.

Sorry to hear you're not going to make it to the gathering. So near yet so far. Why not just drive the 300 Wink. Thanks for the video.
