That’s exactly what I’m going to do.

They make those switches and that will be the plan, but not immediately. I’m starting on the A-pillar trim today along with the hardtop

Thanks for the kind words, and no the Ferrari isn’t running yet!

But I might have started the parts purchasing on that one for the future start date. But before that, the Vette will get some love

Cheers
Dave

Great article, but the last paragraph is not correct info. That's not Chassis 70079 (the one Elvis owned) as that car was already in the states when that article was written. Still interesting though!

But another big day; today was VIN assignment day! In the eyes of the DMV, this is now a legal car with a state issued VIN based on the engine serial number. So dare I say, this is a numbers matching car!

It's not everyday you see a 507 on a uhaul!

Next up, a safety inspection along with title application. But before that I need to attach the VIN to the door jamb. Now I can get the data tags filled out too.

Woohoo!! It's now a real car. Inspection process was fun and created quite a stir with all the officers and others in line coming to check it out. Fun stuff!

Cheers
Dave

PS: up next, Hardtop!

Way cool super Dave!

Congratulations - what a cool milestone.

I'll bet their eyes bugged out when you had to explain exactly how much of it you built.

**MosportGreen66** · #**838** 10-12-2023, 09:14 PM

Awesome!

Can we start a GoFundMe so Dave can get an enclosed trailer?

We should be expecting Super Dave to build a crew cab truck and enclosed trailer from scratch, in what, maybe sixty days??
