Frank50 thanks for the kind words. I started the project with pure thoughts, and after looking at the cost of being a purist I wasn't so enthusiastic.
svnuccadoc, yes I used the ZR2 frame, motor & running gear, disk brakes, even kept the rims & tires for now. The most difficult part was getting started. To get started I made a checklist of things I could do or thought I could do, and a list of things I needed help with. Then I started doing the things I could do. Never felt like kicking the dog though. This was my first build, and I even had to learn how to weld again. The internet is a wonderful thing!
Achipmonk, I did keep the A/C unit, I haven't hooked it up yet though, I like riding slow with the windows down.
I put some new windshield glass and a new seal in last night. I've got a number of small things to do this winter. Looking forward to Wednesday nights in the garage again!
