 i’m posting these a little late, but they were some great builds to do.
The first car is a 1971 Corvette stingray Roadster. I built a 355 in.³ small block Chevy with an Edelbrock performer top end kit. It also received all new brakes all around, new cooling system, and tires. This car is absolutely beautiful and was a pleasure to build!
The second car is a 1976 Corvette stingray that I have been building for the last two years nearly. I built a custom 377 in.³ small block. It also has a full roller valve train, with Edelbrock performer aluminum heads. And a NOS PowerShot system, delivering an extra 125 hp. I also put a ho**er SuperComp headers with side exhaust, which are insanely loud and amazing! This car also received new brakes all the way around, fully rebuilt front and rear suspension, and 17 inch American racing wheels and tires. This car is an absolute beast to drive, so much fun! Enjoy the photos!

So, super super awesome story of a car! This car came into my life around 12 years ago as a crazy basket case of a car. The only panel on the car that didn’t have a hole in it was the roof, and I’m not kidding. It sat in a corn crib for more that 25 years. The original owner decided to get it restored. So, Patrick Van Lent and I disassembled the whole car and rebuilt the entire drive train. Then, a decade went by, and I bought the shop from Pat and I thought I would never see the car ever again. Then to my surprise I received the car this past July and was hired to do final assembly on the car. WHAT A PLEASURE!! The original owner has passed away now, but his pride and joy lives on!!! His son has taken ownership of it and hasn’t been in the car since he was 9 years old, until tonight!!! It was an honor to do this car! Thank you!
I did full electrical on the car, fuel system, cooling system, wheels/tires, exhaust, tuned it, and put it all together!! Enjoy!
