I am not sure about this but... is the British Motor Heritage body shell
appropriate for a '67? If the body is that far gone then it might arguably
be more economical, less work, probably better, etc. to go with a new body
shell. I just am not sure if the body sheel that is available is
appropriate for '67 cars. My gut feeling is that it'll do, with some mods.
I've heard mixed reviews on the quality of the shells but I have no personal
experience. Any comments with the body shells?
Apart from the above consideration, I'll reveal my well hidden opinons on
this and vote "abolute yes" for a '67. I believe the pre-rubber dash Bs are
the cream of the crop. Like the T-shirt I saw at Elkhart Lake says...
"Sure they made Corvettes after 1967, but who the hell cares?"
