Beautiful car, Mike. Your cars are always stunning and I suspect each one is better than the last from your cumulative experience. The 3 month build time is really hard to comprehend. I'm nearly 3...

Wow! Beautiful car and the video is great. You always build gorgeous cars, Mike. Glad to see you do another C2. I have a 61 and 63 in build now and it's kind of nice to see you fix even worse carnage...

Tyler

Maybe a little late but Lizzard Skin or some variant may muffle your noise a little. Sounds like a great swap otherwise, particularly the gear ratios.

Glad you got it back on the road.
How are the ratios below 5th? Anywhere near your old close-ratio? Any shifter noise?

A good thought, Romulus. I agree but Colt probably gets more done in a month than most of us do in a year. It feels a little strange to post at that pace. Be interesting to devise a restomod thread...

will LS7 mufflers fit a C-5?

I have a chance to get a set of 07 ZO6 mufflers. Will they fit my 04 C5 LS1 w/o major mods? I was looking for C5 TI's but these may be better if they will fit.

Well said, Seaside! Sad but true. Maybe the sales value determines what's acceptable. Probably a good thing that I can't afford any of the questionable ones.

It's still a pretty slippery slope as to what is a restoration vs 'kit' type car. What has to be intact to really qualify as a restoration?
