1959 Corvette AME chassis
Just found this site, starting my latest project. 1959 corvette original body, AME fully independent chassis. I picked up the chassis from someone who changed their mind.
not much done as of yet, body trimmed to fit chassis. Hoping to get it off the chassis and onto the dolly this weekend. swapped out some things to a friend of mine for the body work. I need to make some Plywood rollers for the chassis once we put the body back on. Late model Camaro wheels work on the front but way off in the rear, have a set of rear fender Quarter panels with a bout 2" of flare and will need to clean the tubs out a little to give me about 4" of back spacing.
Any one have a 99 or 2000 Camaro LS oil pan?
