My 64 Corvette Pro Tour build, Long view of how car eveolved into what it is today.

I love the oval exhaust. The amount of time spent on the details on this car are SICK!

How much time do you think you have into those valve covers?

The fuel rail covers took about 20 hrs from start to finish. Only had to build one mold to pull left and right part off of. Then add to that two hours of machine time to make the metal washers to match the ones that came on the Katech Carbon fiber valve covers.

wow sweet ride man!! love the details.. are you keeping the dash that color?

Yes. What you see is not quite the color of the dash due to lights. It is a dark maroon that has a brownish tint, that comes out more in certain lighting conditions.

The color was use by both Porsche and Mercedes back in 60's with gunmetal, dark gray and sliver painted cars. The brighter red Maroon leather was to much of a clash with paint. It's a try at trying to make car have a more up scale look. At times I do wonder if it will. Here is close to what it looks like when fluorescent light is blocked some.



Should be interesting to see what happens when the original green tint glass is installed.

If you ever get to see the car's paint in person in right lighting or wrong lighting conditions, you'll probably ask your self, "what in the hell was he thinking with it too!!!.

Finally got the engine cranked after working through problems with cam sensor and throttle peddle connectors having wires installed in wrong pin location. Not a happy camper about that.

Decide to pull it outside and take a few pictures. Still need to finish up and tweak a few things before we take the car to upholstery shop Tuesday and still way behind schedule on getting car ready for the road.

This came out beautiful! This has got to be my favorite Corvette. Awesome!

[ChevelleNV]

Wow...that is the sickest vette Ive seen to date. I love it

[S Griffin]

That is a truly incredible Corvette! Simply amazing

[neki67]

WOW, extremely sharp, congrats!

I'm building up a modest PT 68 Corvette convertible and although it's a different gen. your car is extremely inspirational.

[Mathi]

Damn, this is one of the nicest corvette's on this planet... Really nice work, love everything on this car, the stance, engine, wheels, everything...

congrats!!!!

[Poorhousenext]

Thanks everyone for your praise. It's be a long, hard go at getting car finished up and running, but your comments have made it worth it.

Still have a lot of work to do before we hopefully can take it out for viewing by the public first week in November, if we get everything finished up in time.

Finishing the Interior work in time is the next challenge. We have been piece milling it. First with dash pads, and then seats. Has to go to upholstery shop by Tuesday of this week to be finished up, or we will not get it finished in time.

Couple of shots of dash and seats.

Awesome Vette! This will be a serious head turner once you get it on the road!

Sick! To me it looks like a concept car of what a new retro Stingray would look like if it were produced.

Very nice. I am also wondering the source for your accessory drive. Looks like OE style pump and balancer but don't know that I have seen the brackets etc.

Thanks,
