If i were in need of a Corvette, i think this is the one i would
seriously consider ; youre right..the price is right and you have alot
invested in it. Nice buildup.

The pics look great on your car. Id run those ignition wires a little
neater though. jmho.

The demented ramblings of the fundy moron daveinIll here, most everyone
else does

Wavslav,
Whoa.....you do nice work ! But 15K for all the goodies in the car ? I
would think you could get way more.

Couple questions.
Will it run on 92/93 Octane gas ? Assume it will with the compresion rating,
but not familiar with the cam.

Finally found the hidden sidepipes in the "yellow9" photo. Never seen or
heard the black Hooker Ceramic coated sidepipes, only the regular chrome
ones. Are they similiar in sound and heat on pipes ? Also on that same
photo, looks like a excellent paint job.But all the JPEG shooting data is on
none of the photos. Is the picture recent or 3 years ago when you repainted
it ?

On the "yellow6a" engine shot, whoa one clean engine! Never seen that type
K&N filter-Nice ! Looks like a new GM alternator to me, is it ?

Whats the final gear ratio ? The standard 74 ratio of 3.36:1 ?

Do you have the VIN # (1Z67*4S400001 to 1Z67*4S437502 ) and Engine serial
number (11 digits) ?

In the "yellowwA" pic (13 out of 14) Does the cute young lady come with the
car ? Just kidding, looks like mine did at that age.


Your "C4R, Chronicle the building of my Vette Racecar" Pics are great also !
Sorry to many questions !
Thanks much !

Sorry, on the restoration scale you've only achieved a D-. It would
likely take a lot of Gs to restore this car. Words have meaning - choose
the correct one for what you want to say.

"Rebuilt" perhaps. "Salvaged" perhaps. "Modified" perhaps. "Restored?"
Nope.

Nope.'

ME: HOw about : 'Restored from Salvaged condition' ???

Restore, to me, means to put back into original condition. Any
modification from original misses the "restore" mark.
