Excellent progress and skill Jim, love the fender brace. That looks like one heck of a crispy vette!!

Jim do you still have the high hump trans tunnel part? Let me know if you have a list of parts and you are going to be in Houston. I need the hi-hump and drivers door /fender 68.
Thanks

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"

just read the entire thing. GREAT BUILD !!!! In looking at all the choices I only don't like 1 much and that is the hood hinge, makes it look partially open or is it just the picture?
You do very nice work and I must agree it is cheaper and easier to do it right the first time. Will keep watching 4 sure.
