Project finally finished! I thought some of you guys might like to see some pics of my 59 Corvette conversion that I just completed. It has a pretty much stock LS1 and 4L60E trans in a SRIII chassis and C4 front and rear suspension. I now have about 100 miles on it and have worked out most of the little bugs. It is scary fast, and will carve up the corners at an alarming speed. I just can't seem to get this stupid grin off my face. 
It is now time to move it over to the garage and move the 65 Corvette body over to the shop and start on it in earnest. It too will sport a SRIII chassis with a LS2 and 4L65E trans with a Dana 44 rear and Corvette C5 front suspension. These things are habbit forming!

GORGEOUS! It's the perfect color, and those wheels look strikingly good on it. Excellent job! Is that another one in progress behind it?

Purdy......nice job. I like the way your wires are all tacked away. The engine bay is pretty clean to. I can only imagine how it feels to get in the car and drive it after so much work. I cannot wait to finish my conversion.
Do you know what kind of numbers you are making to the rear wheels?

WOW !!!! 
That is an incredibly well done and thought out project. The car looks awesome and better than new. Go ahead and give yourself 20-30 more pats on the back regardless of how many you've had, it's easily worth that.

I'm surprised you are not out driving it right now!
