Yes. The guy I bought it from did not build it and knew very little about what is in the car. He also owned it for over 2 years and never registered or drove it. After this weekend's swap meet (where I hope to sell the project '33), I will get into the car a little more to see what I have and to clean up a couple of items (neutral safety switch, soft brake pedal, etc.)Very nice!! Is it a glass body?
Thank you. That was my thoughts also, although I must say I would like to keep both, but that isn't possible financially.Doesn't have the W wow factor, but very nice none the less, and you can drive this one now!
Who cares what anyone else thinks, it's YOUR car.

That's a possibilitie!!!!!!! But for the black car with the red Rumble seat!!!!!!!!You can trade your Corvette for the unfinished one!!!! Maybe!!!
An update on the new "finished" roadster. It turns out it wasn't as finished as I thought (or advertised). After 6 months of work (with consideration to the several months of 100+ degree days in my non-A/C shop) that generated a 145-item 8-page "Punch List" to correct many of the "What Were They Thinking" issues with the new roadster and more miles up and down on my lift than in my driveway, I finally started the car a week ago. A quick trip down my driveway revealed that I still didn't have all of the issues resolved (although both rear wheel cylinders were previously bled, it turns out that they were frozen in their bores and had to be replaced). Although I keep discovering things that fit the "What were they thinking" concept (why would they double nut anything, let alone using 2 nyloc nuts to do it; using nyloc nuts with bolts too short to engage the nylon insert; installing the cupped washers on the end of the Mustang II front strut arms backwards away from the bushing, etc.), I deemed it safe enough to take it out on the side roads for the first time last Saturday morning to our annual hot rod gathering. You can imaging how pleased I was when they announced at the end of the event that, out of about 300 cars entered, my roadster was awarded a "Top 10" trophy! Several firsts for me: First drive of the car; First car show for the car and my first ever car show trophy! I was very happy! Now to get back to finishing the open items on my "What Were They Thinking" Punch List for the car so I can drive the car more....and the new finished roadster that I just dragged home from Alabama:
