When I tell people that I have a 65 coupe quite a few ask "Oh, is it a splil window"
I get tired of explaining the whole thing. This way you will be able to say YES, it is a split window.

A 67 split window. I like it. To make it even better you need a big block with fuel injection. That way all the neophytes at car shows can tell their disbelieving friends what they saw. I guess using metal body panels is out of the question at this point. I suppose to make it even more unbelievable you could turn it into a 4 door as well.

This will be one great BASTARD Vette once Pauly's done with it.
This is the fun stuff that's a joy to build, unlike the #'s matching cookie cutter cars.
Way to go, Pauly. See you in January!

Sure is fun making the purists nuts , But when you start with so little car What else do you do with it ? sell the valuable moldings off of it then sell the fiberglass part to some dummy who thinks he can build a car out of whats left?I am doing a public service , saving people from themselves and winding up with a car that is far more fun to drive than some primadonna trailer queen. see you guys in Fla.

If you really want to bend some minds, may I suggest installing '63-'64 style non-functional horizontal "gills" on ONE front fender, and leave the functional '67 vents on the other?
People walking up on the "'63" side will think it's a mild custom SWC 'til they notice the rectangular center back-up light!

frames are almost ready for the coupe and conv. all powder coated and all bolt on parts either new or rebuilt . Makes it a lot easier when you are building 2 at a time . you can build 2 almost as fast as one

Should have used an early door on 1 side and a late door on the other.

Beautiful workmanship. Building two at once, sounds like quite a challenge. Now that I have C2 it will be fun following your progress.

Great job. I love screwing with the purist. After doing a nut and bolt correct restoration. I swore I'd poke my eyes out before I ever did another one . Your basically doing a GM jigsaw puzzle. None of your own input.
