Hi C3,
You must have been quite excited when the doors to that container were opened and you got a look inside!
Looks like a very nice coupe project!
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

YES and it feels GREAT :- )
Yes, I took a picture when I "cut" the seal to the container, and I can tell you, I look happy in the picture :- )
The car is acutely a better car, then I thought it would be, it is a very good basic for a project.
Thx Mike

On the way home.
Home sweet home.
Please note the Danish flag :- )

BUT 69 is one of the best years, together with 63 (split), in my mind.
Yes and no, it is a much better car/project then I thought it would be. If I took a few days, then I'm sure I could start it up, and drive. I do have a extra L46 engine that I could use.

Nice starting point for your project. With that collection of parts you will have a lot of fun driving your '69 Corvette.
Good luck and as others have said keep the progress and pictures coming.

Yes I know you are :- )
I hope everything is ok down under?
Thx
YOU BET, I bought it almost 1 year ago !!
And the sbc 427 was bought a bit before that !!!!!!!!!
So it's been a loooong wait for sure.
Yes I did buy a lot "to come with the car"
But my first project, is to mount my new 195 AFR heads on my 69 convertible. (L46 engine) So I can measure the push rods I need to buy.
I've just installed Comp Cams hydr roller cam 12-466-8, new 8" balancer, Comp Cams hydr roller lifters (853-16) and Comp Cams 1.6 rocker arms will be added also.
It will be for SURE, I'm really forward to this project
Like I said before, the car is in better shape, then I thought it would be.
It is very nice, that you still can make business across the World, without being cheated !!
The seller was a very honest man

I'm glad to hear your family AND corvette is safe :-)
Here it is spring, right now it is a lot of sun and good weather. But still it can be cold in the morning.
But soon I will install the last parts I need on my convertible, so I can get driving again.
Regards for up north :- ))
