late at night lol....when everyone else sleeps..........i dont work on them all. i tend to get them so there driveable and then have fun with em.  its tough to say no when you have a addiction as bad as mine.your friends get pissed and puts some strain here and there on the old relationship.but you gotta do what you gotta do.you cant pass on something that if you have to sell you can make some money in the end.atleast thats how i look at it

Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

I was looking at the pictures of redsshed77 cars and one caught my eye. I've always thought that the body style of the early Corvettes was one of the best ever and the 58 had some unique trim features with its hood style and trunk trim that set it apart. My cousin had a car in similar condition to this back in the 70's and it sat beside his garage for at least 25 years before he gave up on the idea of building it and sold it. I thought it might give redssed77 some inspiration to bring his back to life if he could see what it might look like in a completed form. If only it was as easy as this graphic makes it look ;)

A guy my son worked for had a '57 in not much better shape. It had been road raced a lot and had some bad repairs. It had been sitting outside for years and some of the fiberglass was falling apart. I didn't think it could be fixed. One day I walked into a friend's shop and it was sitting in the middle of the floor. My friend traded an airplane for it. In two years it was one of the prettiest black '57 Vettes I have ever seen. All of it's pieces casting numbers were in the right range. It was a kick to drive. The other guy has never flown the plane. :) I wish I had pictures.  :(
