Re: Wish you all well and good by
Roy, I will wish you a fond farewell, and thank you for all your responces to my direct questions regarding the "Powerslide" tranny.
I always enjoyed your posts as well as your photos!
Back in 1969 when I got out of high school I bought my first Vette a 1962. Lost it when a cop waved me through a red light.There have been others but it Took 30 years sending 4 kids off to college, marrying off 2 daughters and paying off a mortgage before I was able to replace it with the '60 basket case. Your one of the guys who knows It gets in your blood. To others I say, If I have to explain you wouldn't understand.
I share your views regarding the NCRS and the degree of restoration. My 60 is a frame off with all original components. Took me 3 years to put it back together, However you won't find any silly inspection marks lacqure paint or stencils on the frame, and I wont spend years looking to replace that burned out original neutral starter switch while my car sits alone and unused in my garage. Got lots of trophys from local shows and cruise nights but that stuff is just clutter! It's the ooohs and aaahs that really count!
As far as the money goes, when I am asked and I always am, it's not for sale.
Drive it like you stole it! When it wears out (and it will!) tear it down and do it again. I will never, ever, sell my '60. What the wife does with it when i'm gone is here business.
Thanks again!
God bless and Good luck!
