C 1 Corvette Upgrade

I was asked if I had seen this Alt tinkering site, so I thought I would add some pic to the group.
In the early 70's I purchased a 62 Corvette with the engine in the trunk and three different color paint on the body.
Most of the car was intact but the engine was out and started to be rebuilt.
FAst forward 3 years and I finished a body on restoration and all was well I have driven/showed the car a few times burnt off a set of rear tires replaced a broken pinion gear and a water pump and a few batteries in the last 40 years. But always kept the car in running/driving condition

Well I have always had a bucket list for this car, and this year in June I ordered a new SRIII Motorsports complete chassie
Well tomorrow or Sat I will be waiting for the Semi to deliver me a new rolling chassis.
There is more to the story but for now I will just show you what I am starting with.
Plans are open, but the engine of choice will be a LS3
