C3-R.com News!

1/31/2010 We are really shifting now, been fixing up the site, lot of dead links should be working now. Notice that we have couple of new sections now. There's the DREAMER section that will cover the build of my 1956 Corvette. Then there is the Detaliling section and Friends section. I have also added some video footage here and there for your viewing pleasure.

1/26/2010 We are finally back! A lot has happened since my last update, still alive and kicking. I have all the sections now ready, just need to upload them. Stay tuned.

9/6/2006 Started working on the SLEEPER section. Only have the Interior part done, but I'm getting there. Gonna install PS and PB on it the following weekend.

8/19/2006 Re-did the opening page. I was lucky enough to meet a local photography-talent whose pictures I have the privilege to use on this site. I'll also add some more quality material to the galleries soon.

8/16/2006 Now that I'm back updating the site more regularly I finally added "STEERING" section to the C3-R. I don't know how I first left it out all together, but now it's there and I will update it later with some information about custom made bumpsteer blocks. I also updated the "BRAKES" section with some new information and pictures.

8/15/2006 Man, what a summer it has been, barely had had any time to work on the site. There were few broken links on the site due to a PHP switch I did earlier this summer. I've been drag racing, cruising, been to shows and just enjoying the cars as much as possible. Will start updating the site again.

8/1/2006 I took part in an on-line car show, which was held over at CORVETTEFORUM.com. I participated in the custom class. for some odd reason other people seemed to like the C3-R so much that it won it's class! I feel very honored for such recognition. Click HERE for the final results!

2/17/2006 Finally got around installing the sidepipes on the SLEEPER. It's still not finished, I will have to fabricate brackets for the pipes, but it's a start. See some pics HERE

2/7/2006 Happy New Year everyone! I haven't been updating the site for awhile, but now that I had little time to spare again I finally got around linking the thumbnails to big pictures in the C3-R section. I also completed the CRUIZER section. Take a tour around the improved site.

10/19/2005 All the Gallery sections are now up and running. Uploaded tons of new un-seen material in each one. Hope you'll enjoy them!

10/18/2005 Had some time to spare tonight and started working on the CRUIZER galleries. Added quite a few pics there. Most fun part is showing off the before and after gallery it makes it all worth while.

10/17/2005 Finally got around updating the shop section, plenty new pictures in the checkered floor page, check it out...

10/15/2005 Just got my copy of the latest issue of SPINNERI magazine, which made the original feature of the C3-R while ago. In this months issue they had a coverage of the Corvette Meet we had earlier in August where I placed 1st in the C3 class. I'll put a scan of the feature here soon.

10/3/2005 Finnish car magazine Moottori made a feature of the SLEEPER! Had fun at the foto shoot, nice to have real professional taking photos of the car for once. Not sure yet when the car will be in the magazine, hopefully soon. It should make the cover...

9/26/2005 Well the summer is almost over. Had the time to take the SLEEPER to a Corvette Race Day, only was able to drive around the track few laps, but still had tons of fun. Made a small video and snapped few pics before the day was done. Gonna add them here soon.

7/7/2005 Just got back from Club Corvette of Finland's annual Corvette meet, we had some great time there. Weather was perfect both the SLEEPER and C3-R worked perfectly and that made the hour long cruising even more enjoyable! I took few pics and shot some video footage, see them all here

7/6/2005 Went to the local cruise night as a spectator only, was in the area and didn't bother going home to get my Vette. Some nice cars showed up see the pictures here.

7/25/2005 New hood and sidepipe covers arrived for the SLEEPER. Going to install them soon with new stainless steel sidepipes. Whole story to come after the install!

7/20/2005 The Project - GSII is GO GO GO!!! I stripped the frame to bare metal and now it has been stronger by adding tons of gussets everywhere. Stay tuned for full report!

6/8/2005 Just sold the CRUIZER!!! I did hate to see it go, but future has something different in the works. So as we speak we are down to 3 Vettes, but for how long that remains to be seen.

6/3/2005 We took the SLEEPER and the C3-R to a local cruise night. Met lots of friends there and had a great time enjoyed the nice June weather. Hope you'll enjoy the video I made, click here!

5/27/2005 Bad news!!! The engine and the clutch were bust on the SLEEPER. It took three days to do a complete engine/clutch swap. Learn more about it here!

5/6/2005 First cruising night of the season. I was still waiting for few parts for the C3-R so I decided to take the CRUIZER yet again to another event. Turn out was great, and one of the local came along with his 454 BB with new MegaBlower in place, talk about traction problems. Pics can be found here and a small clip of that monster vette here!

5/5/2005 Took the CRUIZER to a local track day event. Had tons of fun there despite the little rain at first. Everything worked great and the average gas mileage was way better than before with the badly tuned carb. Take a look at the pictures here and the video here!

4/24/2005 Had a really busy weekend. Started on Thursday to sand down my garage floor and getting it ready to be painted. The first coat of white went on Friday and second on Saturday. Finished masking and painting the black squares today. I think it turned out awesome. Take a look here!

4/21/2005 Finally got around making a bundle of videos out of my C3-R It shows some cool stuff I've done to my car. Hope you like it! Watch the video here! (it's a WMV file, so you might need a Windows Media Player to watch it...)

4/20/2005 Been working on the galleries, should have the C3-R section done by the end of the week! Lots of new stuff been delivered by UPS and FedEx, looks like I'm gonna be busy working on all the cars again!

4/6/2005 After long delay due to my work I finally got around putting this site together. Now that I have the basic structure in place it's easier for me to keep updating it on regular basis instead of just letting it lay low for the next few years!

3/28/2005 The SLEEPER was put on display at the American Car Show held in Helsinki during the Easter weekend. It was shown there along side with a 1964 Coupe and a pair of 1967 Big Blocks. You can take look at the pics here!

Old News: Got the C3-R featured in a Finnish American car magazine called SPINNERI (The spinner). It made it to the cover and centerfold too, for those of you whose Finnish is not the native language at least take a moment to take a peak at the pics here!
