Testing interest as mine is waning
Wow!!! Love, love, LOVE it! You've given this car some amazing attention to detail. I'm especially impressed by the pure artistry on both ends of your throttle cable. And so many other carefully-thought-out mods. You've built a car I've been drooling over for a quarter century or more -- it existed in my mind long before I learned anyone was creating one. I'm 100% sure that I would have, myself, under different circumstances... but in life we take the paths we take.
I guess I've been hibernating for too long, lurking only very sporadically, way too busy. Ten years of living in a small apartment a few blocks from the ocean has its perks, but watching everything rust in the salty air is not one of them. Ya learn to cover tools with blankets, but only after it's too late for some of 'em. With no place to park but the street, I intentionally haven't been looking for a toy/project.
HOWEVER... we just bought a house which is many miles away from the salty air. And I'm fixing it up as fast as I can, so we can move in and enjoy it... not to mention stop paying double rent. No garage, but at least I'm upgrading to a carport!
Thom, for a toy like this, I would have expected that your interest would do nothing but go up, each time you get it closer to what you dream of. Not to mention as it gets even more exciting to hang on with the Corvettes. You've done the majority of work necessary; isn't it more fun than drudgery by now? I would urge you to keep smiling your love on it… and take me for a ride next time I'm anywhere near you.
But life has a way of throwing curve balls -- I understand that as well as anyone. If we can't convince you to keep it, then… let's chat. (I sent a PM but it seems to be stuck in limbo, so I figured I may as well step out and say hello.)
However it works out, thank you for sharing all these stories and pictures! You are a true artist and inspiration.
