    Aluminum can be unforgiving at times, you seem to navigate working with it like a pro. Beautiful work as always! Really glad you are moving forward with this project once again!

    Yet another masterpiece. The dash and console alone are works or art.

    Great work John, longtime subscriber from westcoast Canada. Had a 66’ vair monza and that instrument looks like a mid-60s vette. Your craftsmanship goes beyond words.

    That’s the stuff customers don’t understand when they want you to make custom stuff, “it will only take you a second “ or “I could do it myself, but I have to go get my wife a bottle of wine “

      So true. The project didn't come with a set of instructions either. The detail has to be figured out.

    The raw aluminum with black seats, bar and other accents looks nice too, a competition look that is🤔

    Hey John! Another fantastily FUN film about the LS4 Corvair project. I enjoyed all facets of the console, especially the Holly LED window, EPDM bumper, and the conduits to the engine compartment! Nice touches, mate! In addition, all fasteners and the black latch are 1st class. Very satisfying to watch you work! I enjoy these types of projects myself. I have too many countersinks (is there such a thing?) yet you have me beat! Because of you I have a few on my list to purchase. Thank you for your time to entertain me!
