There is no difference in the build process @ all. It's called buildin a car from bare rails up.

Bare rails and bolt everything on. Starting with new has it's advantages for sure. No rust, grease, etc. Are you going to improve anything that you weren't in love with the 1st go around Don? Originally Posted by DA34GUY

When I get my Vette running again I'd like to look you up. I have relatives in Colbert, Ok and Sherman, Tx and Google earth tells me you're about 125 miles from Colbert.Ken Thomas

That's a great tribute to your wife. Did she know you were going to do this?

No she didn't but was her favorite roadster of all I've built, as it was many others. Originally Posted by Al G

Bummer. Guess I'll have to stick to the mastercraft 265/75-15 I've got. They are almost 31" tall so close enough. I'm subscribed so I'll be watching this build. Thanks for posting. Originally Posted by DA34GUY
