I have currently got the chassis rolling with everything back in except the engine, trans and exhaust system. After this I will be ready to reinstall the body and start on the fiberglass. It has been a long two and a half years since I started but I am enjoying the process. This week I am waiting on my engine to come back from the builder stroked out as a 383 with about 400hp. I will take some pics when i get it back in the car.

Lucky man who buys a house and gets a Corvette too!

You may know this already, but there is a very active Corvette Club with over 300 members, Greater New Orleans Corvette Club, in your area. You certainly do not look like you need any help, but you might enjoy the camaraderie!!!

You're upper ball joints are installed wrong. They bolt on from the top, not from underneath.

You are right. I am getting ready for a move out of state and trying to get the car ready for transport and I got ahead of myself. Thanks for pointing it out
I am a first timer at this restoration stuff and welcome any comments or questions on things you guys and gals see me doing. I am doing a lot of research before I do most of these steps but sometimes like this I miss something. thanks again.

That red frame has got me going!

Very nice.

I thought this car looked like a major headache when you first started, but now I'm in!
