I for one would love to follow the progress via pictures here. My story about the 53 Corvette is this.
I was born on the day it was introduced as a concept car at the GM Motorama 1953. My dad after seeing the news clip on TV named me after the person that gave the corvette it's name (Myron Scott) except he did not like the name "Myron" so he chose "Byron" instead.

My dad later owned a 53 and some of my earliest recollections of the car was he and friend working on rebuilding the diff on it.
All I remember is all the really BLACK greasy hands. I feel a special bond to all MY 53s.
Te be able to be involved in restoring so many of these must most definitely feel special.
