A small tire 10.5 car with the baby motor and a glide. I can allways go GT if that don't work out. Really wanted to go Stock, but could not get a 9" tire under the car. Not to mention, aluminum seats make additional room for large drivers over stock seats (about 6" more steering wheel to gut room is sweet). Anyway, looking for a late spring, early summer start depending on an engine program. I am getting counseling from a few veterans that I have done work for in the past i.e. Bob Cupp and Norman Hall. I'm already practicing the ole head spin, look thru the rear window and see where he is move. I do have a nice disc brake package for those bringing 40 MPHs down on me. Really looking foward to the flat hood thing!
Hey...Nice piece there Wade.....cant wait to see it. I raced a couple of Corvettes back in the late '60's and early '70's (a '66 and a '69) in stock and S/S and broke a lot of rears and muncies.....lol. Ive been a corvette fan all my life and have been thru about 10 so far. Wished I had all of them back....lol. Especially the '67 435 HP one. Knowing the kind of work you do that will be one "SWEET" car. Terry Bell
