Well, after a couple of years of working on it a couple hours a day, I'm finished! I want to thank everyone here that has given me help/advice over the years. I promised some pics, so here they are. Sorry for the quality, but all I have is a cheap digital camera that I got free when I switched to earthlink. All work done on the car was done by myself in my garage except for the machine shop work on the block and crank. This was my first time doing serious body and paint work, and I couldn't have done it without the help of you guys on this site.

Took the words right out of my mouth HOW do you put the vette wheels on, don't they have to much backspace?

I used billet spacers from Vette Brakes to mount those wheels. I bought the wheels and spacers as a package deal from an old member of this site. I wanted 17's, but wanted something DIFFERENT. I think I achieved it http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif.

2 yrs into a rebuild and still breaking things twice and fixing it on the third.

I used PPG DP90 as the final color. There are a few coats of clear underneath to "seal" everything.
