    Hey there Junior,
    That '66 is a long way from the foam-filled place it started. Very nice job on that!
    ... and what!!!! ... 4-4-2 !!!
    Please do part of a video on this!!
    Take care,
    Dan

    Nice stuff - visited that store and shop back in January on a rainy day. Somehow got out of there without buying another car!

    Great craftsmanship! I would love to bring my 71 to you to get the chasis in order and help you and the team to work on those beautifull Corvettes.

    Junior, simply stunning - you've done another outstanding restoration-plus on the blue '66 ! While I've been seeking a driver's C2, I was curious on what this vehicle co$t out the door ? if you can say. Thank you always, Steven

    Yeah I remember “the foam car” who could forget all that foam and the owner must have been sick when you found out all about it... beautiful job and that paint is perfect. When I am ready to buy a C2 it will definitely be one of yours, no surprises and worth EVERY PENNY knowing what you really have.

    Hello again Junior. I'm writing from Barcelona. I love your videos. I've owned two1982 corvettes. The passion you have for rebuilding vettes is like an artist who loves their art. Would it be possible to talk about a C3 that will be built by putting together several donor C3 parts in order to arrive at a lower price? I would pay for it gradually as you gradually put the puzzle together. Then, finally, I would come see your shop personally and arrange for a shipment to Spain. Thanks, Steve Howard

    Junior, every car sitting in your shop is a beauty. The '66 "Foam Car" is a great example, but I saw something that, in my opinion should have been done better. The A/C lines running over the top of the battery will almost make battery removal impossible. I speak from experience since I have owned my '67 for 54 yrs. It's bad enough without A/C, but your plumbing is a headache waiting to happen. I can only assume the owner will pay dearly to replace that battery.

    Can’t fathom how these C2 vettes are so expensive when all the parts are readily available everywhere, and they’re one of the easiest cars to work on.

    • @YodaKnows1977
      @YodaKnows1977 Před 2 měsíci

      Have you bought them ? 2800 for bumpers that are GM

    What happened to Junior?

  • @johnjaeger287
    @johnjaeger287 Před 2 měsíci

    I've never heard a good answer to my often asked question about restored C2 Corvettes...why does the rear of this restored '66 Roadster sit so high? New spring? Rearced old spring? Incorrectly mounted? Many other times it's the front sitting high.

    Hello! Where is your shop located? I'm an American living in Spain. I want another Corvette (I've owned 2). I'd like to start a conversation buying, renovating and shipping a C3 to Spain.

    Got it, what would happen if the block wasn’t drilled and taped for power steering

    • @bengone3349
      @bengone3349 Před 2 měsíci

      The Burgeon box bolts to the frame, and the pump and bracket bolt to the engine mount and two bolts to the front of the block. These two holes are always cast/threaded.

  • @jameswilkins288
    @jameswilkins288 Před 2 měsíci

    quick ? what do you do when a Corvette comes in with no power steering but the customer wants power steering but want it to look stock

    • @bengone3349
      @bengone3349 Před 2 měsíci +1

      Junior would go to his parts source and get original GM parts and install them...simple!

    Why does rear set so high?

    Beautiful resto, but… I don’t understand why the back end is so jacked up???

    • @bengone3349
      @bengone3349 Před 2 měsíci +1

      It takes a few miles of driving for the springs, front and back to settle into a more relaxed position.
