1978 Corvette that we performed a "frame on" restoration. The owners originally brought in another car that was too far gone to put any money into. We helped them locate a viable candidate with only 82,000 miles on it and proceeded to do a 496 big block conversion. Since finished, the car has logged over 5,000 miles with zero issues.

A picture of the motor from the right side. Looks like it came in there from the factory. This thing does nothing but run, no overheating, no leaks, or other issues that can take the enjoyment out of owning a collector car.
