56 Restomod - Houston, Texas
I'm relatively new to the forum. I have found it very helpful and would like to offer my project experience in this thread in hopes of helping others or getting told how to do it right.
I purchased my 56 in January of this year. I drove to Watkins-Glen, New York in the middle of the polar vortex to pick it up along with another Texan (a guy from my unit in Vietnam). First lesson learned, a light golf jacket will not work at -17 degrees.
This car had multiple owners since 1985 and still was fairly complete.

Corvette Corrections frame, C4 chassis, and new LS3. I will describe my progress in subsequent posts. I didn't start out to do a complete restomod, I evolved to the idea after following Brian Eggers thread.

Back at work on the 56
I've been off the thread for too long now. Just got a new computer so it will be easier to post than on the iPad. I've acquired the Corvette Corrections frame. Bill Dawson had a backlog when I went to order the frame and he suggested that I purchase a frame from a guy in TN. So, I drove up from Houston and picked up the frame. Saved some in the process. I'll start uploading photos of the progress as soon as I can figure out how to transfer the photos from my iPad.
