1962 restoration project
hey gang, just took on a 1962 c1 project that has been sitting for 25 years and doing a frame off restoration , I am a ASE certified tech in many areas of automotive,truck,bus and have had many cars from old to late model stuff,, this is the first corvette that I had took on and hoping to learn some stuff about the car and what is correct on these cars,, the goal with this is to have a nice weekend driver and not to make it a points car, but to restore it and retain value ,, it currently has a low rise dual quad ,but has a fuel injection set up ,, here is what the car looked like back in the late 60's
here is a little more info about me www.gmondeperformance.com
