no you dont know whats going on, guy is full of s and got all his croneys trying to make him look good. What proof do you need? most people messaging me don't want to get involved just want to tell their story about him because i will listen. I can give you the restoration shops name,(D&B CORVETTES) his web address(
www.dbcorvettes.com) and phone (419-682-1617) the frame has had shitty frame repair at the kick ups, car has a 65 front end not a 64!!! The guy who wanted to buy it from me in florida texted ray yesterday asking him about car and ray gave no response. Now that you call me full of s show me you can follow up with this info and then tell me i have no evidence!!!!!!
If you truely want to find the truth, follow this and then i can send exact photos of these spots. I havent gone back to forum because ray has his friends trying to defend his s...i dont need to ask my friends to come to my rescue!! proof is in the pudding, run with the info provided or i guess take your own advice

here is the link from your racespace with the black vette-

In your email to mopar you said the front end is wrong- I restored a BB 1965 Vette- So you understand- The hood surround is same in 63-67, the lower marker panels are as well, same for the wheel opening lips- the only difference is the side panels ahead of the doors- 63 and 64 are same and horizontal "vents", 65 and 66 are same and vertical vents, 67 is small vent and stand alone.
The front end vents on your car fully appear to be vertical and would denote 1965 vette. So based on your posted pics, thats a 65 front end and contrary to your quoted statement above.
As I noted in my earlier post 65 grill is stand alone as is hood.
Technically the front end on that car looks correct 65- A 65 hood can run close to $450 used and the 65 grill can approach $400 repop as well, as it is not cast but aluminum with a black center.
Like I said I restored a frame off 65 BB 396 car nut and bolt numbers match, and dealt with every vette guy on the east coast and know these cars well- that front end does not look incorrect based on your pics.
