I have to agree with your sentiments, taylorsk8... What price can you put on a journey? The whole point of this build is to do it with my sons before a) they grow up and leave, or B) I kick the bucket. So as much as i COULD pick up a full car relatively cheap, I want the boys to remember the...

Okay, the saga continues... I now have my wife back on board, so things are moving ahead again. I have located a really good 1980 frame that comes with all new body mounts, and a decent body. My current cars body is good from the doors back. Would I be better off swapping out what is good...

Yeah, I am realizing that. Still looking at options. Latest wrinkle in the plan is a cranky wife who seems to want to pull the plug on the whole idea... It's all about being strategic now. It's amazing how many projects you can get done around the house for the sake of saving your vette!

Ok... so I have an update on my vette situation... had to take her to a local shop to figure out what is what with it. His opinion is that the frame is not worth saving, and the body is similar. He was impressed with the guts of her though, and suggested I get another car that needs an engine...

Just curious if anyone knows of any more shows here in the Maritimes this year? I know we have one in Charlottetown this coming weekend, but it would be nice to get to one off island too!

True enough about asking questions. The 6th digit is a 9, so I guess whoever had it running last must have done a fair bit to it. Hopefully once I start tearing her apart I will have a better idea of what I will need to do.

Well, the vin on the car says its a 79... Unless a previous owner did a lot of modifications to her or something. I hate being a newb, makes me feel as dumb as dirt!

So... The search continues. From what I'm hearing, the 74 isn't really an option. I have come across a complete 76 body and assorted parts for 400 bucks. Think the driver side fender, door and front would be a match? If you haven't noticed, yes I am a relative newb, so I apologize for what...

Nothing fancy here... An 05 Z71 Silverado and an 08 Suzuki Boulevard... I also seem to throw a lot of time and money at our house with my wife's never-ending list of projects!

Interesting... I've been riding motorcycles for years but am new to the vette world. It sounds like some C6ers are like Harley riders. I find they often won't wave to me on my M50.... Oh well, it takes all kinds.

Lil ole PEI... Home of potatoes, Anne of Green Gables, COWS icecream and now my beat up old 79 Vette....

Will do soon... Although the car is pretty rough at the moment. There are a couple pics in my profile, showing off her good side... Well, better side... The previous owner was pretty hard on her, gonna take my sons and I a while to get her presentable. All things in time. Still havent even...

Been a while since anyone posted here, but it can't hurt to throw a little plug in for island vettes!

Well, the damage on the current panels is fairly substantial... If I could use what I have, I would for sure.

Grrr... Oh well, it would have made things almost too easy!
