[My 1958 Corvette!]

I bought this car as a total basket case ten years ago. They don’t get much worse than this:
I've been restoring it myself. The restoration is what's called a "frame-off" restoration, which means the body is taken completely off the chassis so everything can be meticulously detailed.
This is the car right after I painted it. Note the body is on a rolling dolly I made. The paint is a 2-stage urethane and was a little tricky because urethane is not as forgiving as lacquer, which is what all my previous painting experience was with.
This is the engine.
It's a Chevy 350 with aluminum heads, fairly mild cam, ceramic coated headers and a bunch of shiny stuff.
And here is my trusty assistant lowering the body onto the chassis.
How come he's the one who gets all the fun jobs???
The finished product:
