Never thought I'd have a vette in the driveway....

Good news: its not mine

Better news: my dad is finally letting me cut up some E36 M3 to fix his car (not the vette)

Does burnouts...

She's someone else's abandoned kart project. Runs, drives, 76k miles

Going to take all the good bits and put them under a '50 chevy coupe!

that's a C4 right?

if so, pretty similar to a Plymouth Rod that ran OneLap a bunch of times.

In reply to sleepyhead the buffalo :

Yeah, 93 C4

The joys of VATS have already sunk in and apparently two weeks in a heated garage turns a running C4 into non running....

I'm going to need help figuring out how to ditch all the factory wiring while keeping the stock ECU...(Because it'll never be modded while my dad owns it and the stock tune is probably much better than any aftermarket ECU will be able to do)

That looks like a great plan.  The coupe already looks awesome!

Started pulling the 50 apart yesterday. Was able to sell the engine and transmission within an hour of starting to pull them and they were put of the garage shortly after finishing.

My plan of attaching the vette suspension has shifted a bit but I'll have to see how things line up.
