    There is no difference in the build process @ all. It's called buildin a car from bare rails up.

    When I get my Vette running again I'd like to look you up. I have relatives in Colbert, Ok and Sherman, Tx and Google earth tells me you're about 125 miles from Colbert.

    Bare rails and bolt everything on. Starting with new has it's advantages for sure. No rust, grease, etc. Are you going to improve anything that you weren't in love with the 1st go around Don?

    That's a great tribute to your wife. Did she know you were going to do this?

    No she didn't but was her favorite roadster of all I've built, as it was many others.

    Heck, sitting side by side like that really gives the meaning of " Big'n Little's " . How tall are the rears and what ratio will the Diff have Don ? Good highway galloping speed @ low RPM I would think.
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    32 1/2 " tall, will B runnin a 2:79 gear behind a 350 turbo. Won't be a dog either, motor being built will have an honest 365/375 HP with plenty of torque and bottom end. Math tells me @ 75 will B twisted around 2150 RPM
