| My fascination with Corvettes started when I was nine years old. A neighbor of ours was a salesman for DeAnza Chevrolet in Riverside, CA. He drove a 1953 Corvette home one day. Every day for a week I waited for him to come home, and I would go over and look at that Corvette until my Mom would call me for dinner. Then one day he drove home a 1953 Chevy sedan. I went over and asked him where MY Corvette was. He said that he had sold it. I bought my first of seven Corvettes in 1966 while I was in the navy. My last one was a 2006 Z06, which I raced like all the others and drove it to two hundred MPH. On Ontario speedway I drove it into turn one at 170 MPH. Best Corvette I ever had. When I quit working, February 9, 2009, I wanted a project so that is when I started building the Dodge. When I started, the only thing I knew was it was going to have Corvette suspension. So, I just started building. The finished product just evolved during the build; I had no ultimate design in mind. It took five years and many decisions to get to what is the finished product. | 1954 Dodge C1 5-Window Pickup | December 14, 2025 8:47 am | |
