Looks great Mike and Craig. Lot's of wonderful detail work. This is going to be a great car.
Did Bill ever get the engine dynoed? |

Did you guys rivet the ball joints or is that the in-line bolt kit? Looks nice.

They are riveted. Bill had a Corvette guy in Wisconsin do it. I do do it though and have done it for some here on this board. Bob thanks for the picture of our Favorite

I would like to personally thank Craig for all his help on this crazy project!
Also, thanks to Bill for detailing most of those parts and collecting the NOS stuff too! Building that engine was a treat, and assembling the subframe was also a learning experience for me. Which is why I bought it...easy to buy one done. A true adventure working with talented smart guys figuring out how to put it back together. Need to still get that body painted! Until next time...

70RAlll 70RAlll is offline Ultimate Warrior Join Date: Sep 2005 Posts: 2,102 Default Chad.. we will have to get our 71 HO's together in the future. I am 90% done on body ,going to painter in the next 30 days. I have every NOS part you have shown and a few others(like the heat riser shroud-HO style drivers side) will have a ground up restored car with all NOS parts like yours appears will.I have .... a question.. will you drive yours after completion with all these NOS parts?? I'm going to drive mine, just want mine to be as close to "day 1" as possible. will keep it out of weather, but will definitely drive mine.. After seeing this post makes me wonder how long 30 days is anymore... ![]() Last weekend I hope that I removed the 10% of the undercoating to finally reach the paint stage.

What ever happened to this thread? I just stumbled upon it when another thread took me to it halfway in referencing something. I can't remember what it was now. Kept reading and looking for more of Bob's Anna pics. Was the car ever finished?
