You weren't kidding when you said you started with what should have been crushed. I've seen worse restored but you definitely had your work cut out for you!
Great job, I can't wait to see the finished product!

I get the hint, Originally Posted by Steve1968LS2
I felt I was far enough ahead on this build to shift focus for just a bit so I pushed the Camaro aside and spent the last 2 weeks working on the vette project as I need to have it done by May 1 as well. I may start another thread just for it but for now here is a couple shots. I completed all the rough in body work (which was no easy task on these cars) and shot 2 coats of Clausens All U need Poly primer over the whole car. Now it is ready to start the final primer/block sanding stage along with the Camaro.
I also ordered up some new wheels from Jason Rushforth (Thanks Jason for the hookup) which will set this thing off. Some awesome suspension goodies are coming soon from my good friends at ridetech along with a possible engine swap for a little more go.
There is a special mod to the rear of the car, see if you can figure out what is different......
I did get back on the 69 this weekend and blocked out the entire car with 180 fixing a few minor spots along the way. It is back in the booth for the next coat of epoxy then high build. Should only take a few more full days to have it ready for paint so targeting the weekend of 2/27 to lay the color.
Here are couple shots, not much to see at this stage.

Thanks for the up dates Brian.

Always loved that Vette, was thinking this may be the only car with the potential to be a Cobra slayer. Don't know exactly what the weight is on that car, but its got to be a fair amount lighter then the Camaro. Too many cars Brian!! Its hard to stay focused!! LOL

The vette weighs in at 2662 without the door glass and bumpers so will go up a tad in the end. To compensate will be adding another 80+ HP and going with 285/18 tires on all 4 corners. Originally Posted by Ron S

I am soooo ready for both of these to be done so we can get to some racing. Been a long cold winter and it is snowing here again today, Good thing we have global warming or we would really be in trouble. Originally Posted by tazzz25906112

If you look to the left you can see the new hole for the filler. This should be the first use of the ridetech 67 Camaro gas filler kit on a corvette. Came out really nice and adds a bit of race styling to the car.Brian Finch

I too will be watching this build, especially now that it will be coming back together soon.
As Steve mentioned a couple pages back, if you ever need any help about the bumper mounts and modifications with the Marquez valance, don't hesitate to ask.
