Hey Tim,
I have been following your progress almost since the beginning. Your work is a true inspiration and a motivator to keep others going. One of the unique things I like is that good and bad experiences are documented to show others that everything does not go as planned or desired at all times. I'm currently going through a frame-off on my 69 Coupe and have refered to your site many times throughout. I'm just getting into the assembly phase right now and will again be following your lead. Rather see problems you experience (if any) before I dive in. Kidding. Take care Vette brother and again, GREAT JOB!!!! :thumbs:

Hey guys, I guess I've been away a few days. Looks like a few more faces have checked in. :cool:

I'm hoping to make it out into the garage today, perhaps I'll be able to make a bit more progress. With the holiday I haven't been able to get much done one the car so far. Oh well, still a day and a half left! :cheers:
Someday I'll finally be able to drive my Vette, but for now I'll just admire all the pieces... :willy:

Hi! from Texas

Hello Tim,
First off, I would like to thank you for creating this site and posting your progress on your project. I too am currently "restoring" a corvette (mine's a 73) and the further I tear into it the more I find to repair. Although I do not have the room to do a frame off ( I am still considering it) because my garage is cluttered with other "toys," you have given me tremendous inspiration. I enjoyed reading your informative chronology and look forward to seeing the completed result. Keep up the good work, you are an amazingly talented guy!

Hi Tim,

GREAT RESTO SITE! Easy to tell you have spent many hours posting your progress, since I have spent nearly 4 hours reading about your project. Along with others here, you have both inspired me and given me more confidence that I too, can tackle a job like this on my '78, which I hope to get started by the end of the year. Got to get my new shop built first.

Continued success with your project.

Thanks Andrew, keeping the website up is definitely a labor of love. Be on the lookout for another update very soon, I've been working the last few nights after work putting the next one together. It should be done pretty soon. :cheers:

Good luck on your upcoming project. Be sure to keep us posted on your project with some photos now and then.

Hey tim, been following your resto and may I say what a fine job you are doing. Love watching your progress. First time on here. This is a great forum. Just bought a 72 back in march of this year to redo, not quite as involved as yours by a long shot but plenty for me. Always would have liked to do one like you are doing. Thanks for your hard work and pics of your project. Barry
