I know the editing helped and made it faster for us, but again, wow. Just left to say that you know your Corvettes and you know how to buy them. Congrats on this Frankenstein success. And you asked about color. Well, since it was the white one to begin with and has the build code of white, keep it white. But hey, it's your ride, suite yourself man. It'll be hot no matter.

    Okay I must say I enjoy our hosts videos even though they are similar to tv type fantasies. But the basics of everything he's doing is solid. I've done some of these swaps and builds myself only with BMW'$. LOL. However the amount of time and labor he cuts out is phenominal. The patience in searching and waiting while watching for the right deals at the right moment and keeping that cash readily available then all the hours of mechanical work he skips (for our enjoyment, he doesn't pretent it isn't skipped like the TV shows at least). It takes some serious work to even get to the place he's at or at least some help from his family while growing up with his goal being just what he's doing etc. All in all he makes some REALLY GREAT videos!! 😊❤

    Good to see you back Shawn. Crazy amount of work with the wiring harnesses. I gave up on a salvage Mini because the harnesses were eaten up. I used the parts on another Mini.
