Thank you for the warm welcomes, it is appreciated. I am sure I will spend more than a few hours on this site. Marveling at your accomplisments and time investments not to mention financial investments as well. This is my second vette, I bought a 74 in 75 had for a few years, always wanted a 59 but out of my reach now. I found this car with no previous work done to it and it had most of the components I was looking for and no rust. I am just removing the engine (350) for rebuild now and shopping around for prices on interior replacement parts (any sugestions). Redoing the rear suspension and front end as well. Thats it for this year along with rubber on the ground and weather stripping. Now lets see, where did that time and budget go...Thanks for reading, Eric...
