67 Split window project
 

Well the cab is welded back together and it fits pretty good . next week we will start fitting the nose . http://forums.corvetteforum.com/atta...1&d=1316730419

Pauly, between you and Brett you both take on some hell bent projects. It looks good. Keep us posted. We will see you in FL. in Jan.

Looks like a good fit, good job, that is a project I would like to see when it is finished.

very good job. what doors are those. they fit fairly good for just a early start. way to go jim

I guess I missed something on this. Why not just buy a '63 split window? Why convert a '67 to a split window?

If it is the big block and the disk brakes, you can always add them to a '63.

There wasn't much left of a car when he started.

Can't wait to see the finished product! The perfect car to take to a Corvette event and make the "experts" go nuts! Too much fun.

Yup it is going to be the mythical 67 Corvette coupe with the optional split rear window :rofl:

Only in America :salute:

Uh oh ....

And the gloves are off !

just make sure you take it to be judged. jim

Not as fast as I used to be but the 67 split window is one piece now . Those wide quarters finish the look nicely .http://forums.corvetteforum.com/atta...1&d=1317938814

COOL :cool:.

Anybody know how many points NCRS will deduct for that?
:D

nice, good work. jim

LOL!!! Quote of the week...

Keep going and keep them coming, great job.

Dude, that is totally bitchin!

Mythical!
 

Nothing mythical about a '67 split window. I have guys at car shows telling me all the time about the one his brother had but they were metal. :rofl:

Paul,
Thanks for the tour of the shop today. Like I said, I checked GM historical records and Harley Earl did in fact commission one Split Window '67:thumbs:
Fred

ps. Send me photos of the Daimler SP250 when it's done:cool:

When I tell people that I have a 65 coupe quite a few ask "Oh, is it a splil window"
I get tired of explaining the whole thing. This way you will be able to say YES, it is a split window.

Sweet! :thumbs:

A 67 split window. I like it. To make it even better you need a big block with fuel injection. That way all the neophytes at car shows can tell their disbelieving friends what they saw. I guess using metal body panels is out of the question at this point. I suppose to make it even more unbelievable you could turn it into a 4 door as well.

great another bastard corvette.....makes the gennies worth more $$

This will be one great BASTARD Vette once Pauly's done with it.

This is the fun stuff that's a joy to build, unlike the #'s matching cookie cutter cars.

Way to go, Pauly. See you in January!:thumbs:

:iagree::iagree::iagree:

This is what Hot Rodding is all about not queering out over bolt markings and overspray . :hide:

Where did you get those? I think there are about a million guys on here who would kill to get access.................?

:bigears

:crazy2: I have them in my bookcase, right next to The Dead Sea Scrolls:yesnod:

:D

Ha - gotcha - it was a joke on my part, as apparently that wasn't obvious......... :rofl:

Fred nice meeting you come up more often Paul

Thanks Bret
Sure is fun making the purists nuts , But when you start with so little car What else do you do with it ? sell the valuable moldings off of it then sell the fiberglass part to some dummy who thinks he can build a car out of whats left?I am doing a public service , saving people from themselves and winding up with a car that is far more fun to drive than some primadonna trailer queen. see you guys in Fla. :cheers:

67 Split is in primer
 

first coat of high build primer is on . This thing fits better than ANY no hit car I have ever seen :rofl:http://forums.corvetteforum.com/atta...1&d=1319160233

If you really want to bend some minds, may I suggest installing '63-'64 style non-functional horizontal "gills" on ONE front fender, and leave the functional '67 vents on the other?

People walking up on the "'63" side will think it's a mild custom SWC 'til they notice the rectangular center back-up light!

Back from the grave
 

Been busy on the second 63 build , will be in sealer tomorrow . Time from first pic to second pic just over 2 weeks lucky I have lots of really good help.http://forums.corvetteforum.com/atta...1&d=1322783564http://forums.corvetteforum.com/atta...1&d=1322783839

frames are almost ready for the coupe and conv. all powder coated and all bolt on parts either new or rebuilt . Makes it a lot easier when you are building 2 at a time . you can build 2 almost as fast as one :cheers:

Should have used an early door on 1 side and a late door on the other. :D

Beautiful workmanship. Building two at once, sounds like quite a challenge. Now that I have C2 it will be fun following your progress.

gotta love it Paul, lookin forward to seeing the finished product...:thumbs:

:iagree: Looks like some vert nice work... Now more pic,s....:thumbs:

Great job. I love screwing with the purist. After doing a nut and bolt correct restoration. I swore I'd poke my eyes out before I ever did another one . Your basically doing a GM jigsaw puzzle. None of your own input.


Good Luck: John McDontcorrectme
