[QUOTE="nascar03, post: 45117, member: 43"] Hi Kids. I do like the stock ones but I think there are many reasons to modify a Vette. I was at my painters shop a couple of months ago and he had a '59 Corvette in there getting done. The customer has owned the car for 40+ years and it has been sitting for the past few years because it is not the most comfortable car to drive now. When he was younger it was fine but he is 'our' age and the car sits. SO! He decided to put a late model motor in it c/w computer, add power steering, reupholster the seats for comfort and add a decent radio. I think this is great...the power steering allows the use of a smaller steering wheel and therefore easier to get in and out. He is now excited about his car again...It is in for new paint and will see the road later this summer. Nothing he has done cannot be undone by the next owner! Very cool. Our club is organizing a Corvette show for father's day, June 16th/2013. I was contacted a couple of weeks ago by the local owner of a '58 RestoMod Vette. This car is a recent Grand National Show class winner @ Pomona, CA earlier this year. I have seen pictures and I am excited to see this car in person and have it showcased at our club event.
