    Here's the full story. Some of you saw my other thread, but here's the latest installment in the epic saga of Project Sting Ray.

      Re: C2 body lifting jacks

      Did you make the 2 jacks, used for the body lift or buy them? If bought, from which vendor? Thanks. Dave

            Thanks much. To my wife's dismay, I have more pictures of the car than I do of our 2 year old son....

            Home built, not mine either. Camper jacks, I'm told.

            Thanks, I'm trying to make a run at Duntov, figuring that the car will never be this perfect ever again. Sure, I'll maintain it, but the elements in Minnesota have a way of winning that war.

            Absolutely plan on it. Get as many awards as I can in the next year or so, and they drive it. I had a dream of changing my signature to "Duntov Driver".....we'll see how close I can get.

                Looks terrific! It's a lot more fun working with clean parts, isn't it!

                  Absolutely. I don't need penetrating oil, gloves, paper towel, or a BREAKER BAR!!!

                        Yeah, without that it would have been REALLY hard to make this happen. Or said another way, I would have been parking outside for the past 2 years.....

                            Nice article about an impressive project. I have a question: What brand, size and model are the tires?
