You are helping inspire me to get back to work on my Vette project. I have a 69 convertible that I've owned since 1972 and not original in many ways but not butchered or abused. I have rebuilt the engine, swapped a Tremec 5 spd into it, installed Willwood brakes all around but still need to repaint the car and do the interior over. It also has Monza headlights from Ecklers that I installed many years ago. I wanted to go with that road racer theme similar to your project. That said, I look forward to your future videos....best of luck to you.
Side gills were also changed to earlier ones, should be ice cube tray. It looks like delux interior. Steering wheel should be tilt/teloscopic. Missing ignition/wire shielding. The front is horrendous, obviously. The luggage rack is in the wrong position. Should be closer to the tail not the rear window. Great worthwhile project, unfortunately an automatic car.
