    Got the 57 home a few days ago.
    Now the real work begins.

    Looks great. The final assembly is always the most rewarding( and time consuming). Looking forward to seeing it all together. Paint looks great !

    Hi Bruce. Must be all together or close to it . Curious minds want to know. Hope all is well.

    Are there any updates on this one? I can't wait to see it back together. Candy Apple Red with Hilborn Injection is going to be a Knock Out.

    Finally done.
    Changed out my Megasquirt ECU for a FAST EZ EFI 2.0, of course I had to rewire everything.
    Got rid of the FAST RPM module after 2 failures and installed a MSD 6AL box and a MSD Pro Billet distributor with a dry coil. Runs great and is still learning.
    The whole thing was quite a learning experience.
    See attached pictures.
    Check out my albums for more pics.

    How could you not like a candy red injected Vette. Nice job.

    The car looks great! Glad to hear you have it running good. Everybody I have spoke with running stack injection have all had their ups and downs trying to get them to run correctly. I will have questions for you later, I'm sure.

    You knocked a Homerun with that car. It looks great, I would like to see some video of it running and driving if that's possible.

    Great Gasser, I have seen it a few times at Hot Rod Reunion and there is nothing like it.
    Here is a picture from this year.

    How wide are your rear wheels? Looks perfect.
