[Arrowsmith]

Great observation and very true with regard to this car. As I understand it, the previous (and original) owner farmed out a bunch of stuff and then he filled in with the rest. To me it looks like where he took over is when the trouble started! In fact, he is a prolific poster on a Corvette forum so I can pretty much track the way it went together. I'm delighted with the paint, the finishes on the chassis, the chrome and the stainless. They are all of show quality. I think in the end, it will be a beautiful and fun car. I just can’t get discouraged…it really bites when I find more foul ups.

The good news is, in the rehab, I'm almost out of bolts, parts and pieces that the original owner touched....L-O-L
