Lance, They really did try and destroy the car, no trick photography. A 
guy bought it from the studio to fix up. He soon figured out it was way 
more work than he was able to do. He asked me if I could fix it and like 
a damn fool I said sure. So I gave him a price of twice as much as I 
thought it should cost and he went away. Well along comes this other guy 
and buys it from him and brings it over for me to fix. What a nightmare. 
I did make money on the deal but no where near what it should have cost. 
   Brief idea:    The "Z" bar that goes under the dash. If you made the 
instrument panel bezel fit nice around the gage panel - the glove box 
door would flop open when you hit a bump. If you moved the door up to 
stop that problem the instrument panel had a gap at the top. Wasted 2 
days fixing that. LOL
But now the car is out being shown as the only Corvette dropped out of a 
plane. BFD   But that turns some people on I guess.
