So I joined the forum a year and a half ago shortly after purchasing a 71 LS5 coupe out of Kelowna. It’s an original engine/transmission car. It unfortunately (or I guess fortunately for me) had an interior fire upon start up after winter storage in 2009. A mouse/mice had got in the car and dined on some wiring. When the previous owner hooked up the battery all hell broke loose. Fortunately the owner of the property where the car was stored had a 100# fire extinguisher and other than soft interior damage, there really was very minor fiberglass damage to the top of the cowl. In the last year and a half, the car has been stripped (it was red when purchased, it will be going back to it’s original Brands Hatch Green) and all fibreglass and body repairs done. The car came with a long L-88 hood that was replaced with a stock big block hood. I’ve also purchased all the parts to reinstall the wiper door assembly.
The car has been sitting in my shop untouched for the last year. I figured I’d introduce myself, and then maybe start a thread on the rebuild if there’s some interest. I figure if I’ve got a thread going, it’ll put the pressure on to actually do something. lol
