Paint choice????
So I tried to find out what color the car once was. Still not sure.
I want a black hard top and black in the side tear drop but the main color I'm not sure yet. here are my choices. Please let me know your thoughts, or color choices.
1-White with Black in the side and hard top
2-Gun Metal Grey with black
3-The whole car Gun Metal Grey (Cyber Grey Metallic)
4-Newer Corvette Blue. (Laguna Blue)

Rear cross member
How do I remove and replace the crossmember on the back of the frame? There is 2 rivets on each frame rail. Seems to welded in the front. Is there a thread on this? Has anyone done this and has good pictures? Thanks guys.

1-White with Black in the side and hard top
I think a modern paint color or combo would clash with the definite 60s vibe the body mods carry.
An old school white/black color combo, reminiscent of post #15, would look cool on your historic racer.

Take off the windshield, dash cluster, defroster bezels and radio bezel. Dash end caps. Lots of work to replace the dash pad cut twice measure once. get yourself a nice furniture blanket to lay on. Remove the seats. Make the job as comfortable as possible since you will be under the dash removing parts. Then order a new dash from Al knoch or Corvette America or whomever you decide. If you do need extra parts let us know. A lot of us have extra parts from restore projects just need to ask. We can provide a lot of pictures while we are at it. That goes the same with you... Take lots of pictures. Lots of gore works too!
Glad you are happy. 
Keep the pics coming.

I've always thought Chevy should have used the XP700 front end for 1961 and '62. But even pre-Nader, the missing front bumper might have made insurance even MORE expensive.
