    This is one of my favorite restorations of yours. The idea of putting those knockoffs is excellent! Great finishing touch!

    Drop of glue will keep windscreen against roof, and not allow the obvious sag when completed with restoration. Love your videos.

      Not to take from the amazing work overall, but I agree gluing the windshield was a must.

    Now that's one sharp looking 1960s Chevy Corvette, the two tone paint job, the white lettered tires, the mag wheels & the spinners really set that car off😊❤👍

    Turned out great. Those knock off' s....man fiddly work,but man how cool they are and it lifts the build.
    And you should get a small jewlers leather/sand bag to knock aginst so you can control better where you want to straighten å body

    Awesome restoration! My dad had a 59 corvette when I was a little boy. It looked a lot like that. It had side pipes on it. And when he’d start it, I’d get intimidated/ scared.

    Amazing job with the restoration. I actually have that casting in near mint condition, but I think it looks even better in that classic color scheme. Any American Muscle car and especially Corvettes looks fantastic in red.

    Beautiful work on the car Danny. It really looks great. I don't think they would have put a black interior in a red car. Usually red or tan. I'm not saying they don't exist I'm just saying a black interior is not going to sell a car.
