I suppose I could have put this in the other thread, but its not a bird. Theres a house thats on the road to our current job. Lots of old cars and tons of junk. Going by today we noticed for the first time after going by for the last week a really neat looking Corvette Kammback. It looks to be early 70's judging by the tail panel. We stopped, as I was going to take a pic the owner came out of the trailer. So my son rolled down the window and said he thought the car was cool and asked if it was for sale. Of course its not. I wasnt really interested in buying it, unless of coarse he said $1k :grin: There are quite a few interesting vehicles surrounding the guys place. A mid 80's stretch Lincoln limo with steer horns for a hood ornament, a studebaker pickup truck, Pinto woodie wagon, Olds starfire, and a bunch more. And what appears to be another vette under a tarp.

This might be considered cheating since the car belongs to a friend of mine. He purchased it in August of 2017, not running and pretty much a basket case. He is a commercial real estate attorney by trade and until this project had no real mechanical experience. I tried to talk him out this, to his credit he has stuck with it. He does have a neighbor who is a retired mechanic who has offered technical assistance and a second set of hands when needed. With the exception of the engine rebuild he has done the majority of the work himself. Kerry, I should mention it took over ten months for his engine builder to complete the rebuild. Working full time and the fact that he sold his home and is in the process of building a new one is slowing the progress some.
