This is what EVERY corvette owner has wanted to do at some point when owning one! He just did it, thats all. Ahh the car was a pile to begin with (just look at it), think of it as a mercy killing. Now a corvette comes back from the dead.
Thanks Paul! Had a great time with it! Post up the other videos when you can. Those are better than the first one!

You guys have to much fun up there.. I'll have to remember where you guys are at the next time I'm up that way so I can check out the action. I've been working in the Newark, Stamford, Waterbury areas so that can't be more than an hour or so.. Great vid, you did the best thing for that beast. Now you have it down to bare bones and can start over again.

WHat always concerns me, is that one day someone made this Corvette look like this and stood back and admired his work. Maybe you said on an earlier post, but what type of frame/running gear is under that skin? Is there any Corvette guages or other parts other than the body?
