    This section shows the working spring front suspension that debuted in
    this issue. The front of the frame was redesigned, with the upper
    control arms molded in place, and the lower control arms separate and
    pivoting (Opposite of the 1964, and the later reissues). This was used
    again in 1967, and with the Cosma Ray issue, but when the 1967 Corvette
    was reissued in 1976 as the "Streaker Vette" the original 1964 frame was
    back in place, with only the steerable wheels. All reissues from that
    point have the same setup. If the Cosma Ray tool still exists, this
    frame insert is probably still with it.

      Dave, thanks for the history lesson! I think it's really a treat to have guys like you around that can tell us these things. I wonder if they will ever bring that kit back and find this chassis? I bet it's not the priority list, but I guess we will have to wait and see.
