Subject: Re: Few Pics of the Grand Sport Roadster by rklessdriver on 2016/9/14 17:37:50 Found a video and few more pics of the car from when we were doing all the resto work. Few engine idle videos. You can see the exhaust is totally ceramic coated in the first one....

You can see it was pretty well beat down.

Our shop didn't do it all but we did coordinate the work we don't do with people we trusted to do good work. It really was an honor to do what we did here and a once in a lifetime type build. He hasn't posted about this yet so I'm going to let the cat out of the bag..... All of it has paid off well for him too. This car was recognized by Tadge Juechter himself at Carlisle last month with an award. Once it was fired up Tadge came running over to see "What car that ENGINE was in".... Once he looked at the car he was just blown away by all the little details. His words were "Bad Ass GS".... Pretty awesome to have your work recognized personally by the "The Man" as far as Corvettes go today. Pretty awesome to see that Tadge is a real enthusiast about all Corvettes as well. If you go to 26:58 of the video you can see him get presented his award with the Carlisle people and Tadge on stage. https://www.facebook.com/CorvettesatCa ... 944447013284/?pnref=story Will |
