About 2 years ago, I bought a 1959 Corvette on eBay. I had a blast driving it for a few months, and then decided it needed some work. Believe me, it did. After some fits and starts, the engine ended up with LP Racing in Upland, and the rest of it went to Walden Dahl in Victorville. Lang rebuilt the engine and Frank Freitas and I took it to Walden in the back of my pickup. Walden installed the engine on a new frame, built by Morrison. The frame has the front end of a new Corvette and the rear of a recent Ford. The news now is that the clutch is installed onto the engine and the transmission onto the clutch. The body is ready to paint Boyd Coddington Red, both in memory of the late car builder and because I flat out like that color. The paint will go on late this week or early next week.
My biggest concern is that I will not live long enough to see the car through its restoration!
