Hey Ben,
You have really done a ton of work there! I have enjoyed looking at the updates you have posted as you continue to bring it along. I look forward to seeing how it looks after this trip to the body shop.
My hat's off to you.
Kevin

Keep up the good work, Ben! Remember you said you would be at the 2011 Gathering! Of course you'll make my car look like crap!

one little setback
class act says they can get my the nose "perfect" but cant get to it for 30 days. Told me to bring it back at the end of next month.
I guess between now and then I can do some blocking and some wiring work. I think Id like to get the dash set back up. Maybe even get the car aligned.
I am going to pull the body up one more time and check out a sharp edge i felt in front of the fuel filler opening.

Hey Ben I am putting a new front end on my 70. Is yours a single piece or did somebody glue it all together?

Hey Ben call my body guy and ask him about what he thinks about your body alignment. Right now he is putting the front end on my 70. He does nothing but C1, C2 and C3 vettes and he is a good guy who loves to talk about vettes. Glen 916 861-0510

I know about the theory of doing it. My front end is a one piece...
My guy told me how and it sounded perfectly reasonable. I still won't do it myself.
I'll kick myself in the a$$ if it isn't perfect. Like I said I have plenty of other things to do.

been busy the past few weeks.. finally got some time to sneak out to the shop. I also got back on gathering up all the receipts so I can post them on my website. I am sooo depressed when I look at the bottom line. I let you know when my misery is done and I have the cost updates posted.
