Hey Stepinwolf, what is it about CH-701s and Corvettes? I'm also scratch building
a Zenith CH-701. My previous financial black hole (ie: hobby) was old cars.
I've had my '79 L-48 for about ten years. About four years ago I did some
"upgrades" to the engine and have never been happy with it since. Finally I
am in the process of dealing with some of the details that will make this into
the true performance car it should be.
I have to get my vacuum advance working correctly, I rebuilt the carb last week,
I have a leaking tranny dipstick seal, I have a stripped stud on the passenger
side exhaust manifold. Once all of these little tidbits are looked after I'll
need to do some work to the rear suspension. Nothing too critical there but
it is a 29 yr old car that has spent way too many years sitting.

Hi Doug,
I have been reading your posts for months now, and was looking for a reason to
get in touch. It's nice to see another Canuck that has more then one thing in
common with me.
As for the 701, I am still in the stages of setting up my shop. I do have a four
car garage, but it's no place to scratch build an airplane, so I am converting
a large section of my 1800 sq.ft. basement, in order to have enough space to
do the building.
I already have almost all the professional tools, including the necessary hardware,
( I still have a large order to pick up at Mark's ) and will be picking up
almost 4K worth of aluminum, and 4130 from " Dillsburg Aero " when I get down
to the Corvette show in Carlisle in late August.
As far as the Corvettes are concerned, although I love the cars, I build them mostly
for resale. Not that I wouldn't want them in my garage, but when it gets
to the point that they are worth more then my house, I can not afford to keep
them on my disability pension.
Keep in touch, and informed on anything " 701" that I should know about.
You have my very best regards
