I have no idea how you did all the glass work. Why didnt you just buy a ferrari-looks like that was the look you were aiming for.

That car is insane, I love it! Looks to me like the only part that hasn't been modified is the windshield frame.

That's about right! Not much of the old girl left. I built what I wanted, including cues from other cars I liked, but done MY way. I have had her now for about 40 years, and a lot has passed under the bridge, but I still love her. I wanted a big block vette, not some foreign overpriced piece of metal. Glenn

I think you need more gauges!
That is one very modded midyear.
Did you drive it all the way to the power tour finish?
Thats pretty impressive if you did.
Cool Car.

Has this car been modified in any way, or is it all stock?

Wicked-cool ride, Glenn. Congrats on creating a truly unique machine. Well done.

Be well,

SJW

Cool Car.
Not this year (2006) but I did the LONG HAUL in 2004 from Dallas Texas to Greenbay Wisconsin, then added another 2000 miles visiting my friends in Md, Va, and did the Blue Ridge Parkway. Had 4,600+ miles when i got home in a bit more than two weeks. Had planned on doing the same this year. Oh well, later! Gas prices will be better next year...right?!?!

The same place THESE did also!!! "...but honest officer, I'm just taking pictures. I have NO idea how they got here". (and no, those cars on the side of the road were NOT there when I did my burnout.) I was really surprised when I went back in an hour to take these photos and saw all those cars parked there!

You need a gauge showing the amount of blinker fluid left.

Glenn,
If I get half as much enjoyment & satisfaction out of my cars as you obviously have gotten out of this one over the last 40 years, I'll be happy. Great job I salute you

PS: And what do you mean finished! You know another mod will come along that you have to have
