Hi Bear, OFF TOPIC: When I look at an old classic (on BAT), the first thing I look at are the pics of the undercarriage. Unless a car is NEVER driven during the winter, the iron metal undercarriage components always show up in a porosity of the metal pieces. Now the vette has aluminum and magnesium components, but the calipers,starters, iron blocks,and rear axle components all show rust corrosion post restoration. The southern cars are the ones that avoid the rust/metal replacement expense. I have a 42,000 mile 70 Nova and a 63,000 mile Impala that are and always were rust free. Nice metal cars. As i stripped the paint I never found rust anywhere. The cars I bought as a teenager where Wisconsin cars and they required major panel replacements. A C7 Z06 is still a gorgeous and awesome car, but he mid engine is a big plus. The C-8's have now been out long enough to have had the few hick ups worked out. I still have a 56 and a 57 vette to do a complete restoration on before I'll get the itch for a new car. Those first 5 years of depreciation will slow down my crazy money spent on a complete restoration of a C1 vette. Just yesterday I was digging through my boxes of 56 and 57 components, and I'm blessed with a lot of expensive pieces that will not require purchase. A rebuild is cheap compared to buying a piece that is missing. On my 54 I realized I had an incorrect distributor (no adapter for the tach drive cable). I had to pay $1500.00 for an old NOS distributor for a 235 6 cylinder distributor. They only made about 4000 6 cylinders for the first three years of production. I thought I got lucky as the used distributors were going for the same money and that saved the rebuild expense (250 to 500). Bob
