Wired windows to work without ignition on. And cloth top my favorite mod just because of the look it gives. Oh Yea 73 vert 350 auto. First vette and first vert.

Just put the finishing touches on the epoxy floor in my garage today!!! New shelving and cabinet surrounds; copper pipe air compressor line with 4 outlets plus an overhead air hose reel; 16'x7' (std. double) garage door with rerouted rails to put the door all the way up to my 12' ceiling and a side-mount door lift. The epoxy dries tonight and cures over the weekend...then I put it all back together and acutally get to make good use out of my DirectHydraulic 4-post lift and bridge jack.

I started to do a body off almost two months ago. All I've had time to do is take off the rocker panel trim and the front and rear bumper covers. The bad news is, I'm retired. How did I ever find time to work?

1972 ontario orange convertible, ac, 4spd, black interior, black top, 350 motor. This is almost the exact car my dad had stolen from him in 1973 (this one has a tilt wheel). I found it after a year of searching officially. This is a body off restoration, that is being done by a local mechanic who has done many corvette restorations before. He let me do a lot of the sand blasting including the frame. Frame and most of the suspension components are painted currently. body is stripped. We hope to have it completed by next spring
