About my Corvette
I purchased my 71 just out of high school (in 1976). It was my first car and has always been modified in some fashion. About 3 years ago, I decided to replace the original 454 with the 572 crate motor. I already had a Richmond 6-speed, Fikse FM5 wheels, Michelin Pilot Sports, offset trailing arms, a composite leaf spring, slotted rotors, modified stainless steel calipers and some other mods. When I added the 572, we did some frame work, installed coil-overs and rack and pinion steering from Speed Direct, a Tru Track serpentine set-up and a new tank and fuel delivery system. Recently, I added ABS electric brakes, a Be-Cool radiator with electric fans, a RAM clutch and a Hogan/Fast fuel injection system pretty much like the one on the Foose Camaro. Next, I will turn to the interior. Although I have squeezed in some Sparco Milano seats, added a Duntov 4-spoke steering wheel, completely insulated it with Dynamat and replaced the carpet, the door panels and some other are parts that are original need a little attention. I don't know if others like the way I have modified it, but I do.

Hi - I have a question re: your '71 vette frame. We too are in the process of doing an off frame restoration and need the dimensions of the frame. Do you happen to have these from your modifications. If so, I would really appreciate it if you could email them to me at: stlskybabe@yahoo.com. Thanks
