Might as well pull the body off the frame! You know thats what you really want.

For you who have converted a 1963 or a 1963 to disc brakes both front and rear i suppose(and hope) that the park brake works better on the C2 Corvettes that have a "pull" park brake instead of the one the 67 haves

This thread makes me fantasize about a REALLY STRONG, power-operated rotisserie that could handle complete, assembled vehicles.

Caution: Remove battery and drain all fuel, oil and coolant before attempting rotation!

2nd - no easy way around the tedious detail work. Go slow and take your time. Lots of time on your back.

Keep favorite beverage within easy reach. Important not to tense up and cramp. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

after david burroughs was kind enough to tell me the location of the production number on the passenger side engine compartment, i used some diluted dawn dish soap to clean the area for a pleasant discovery on the 1967. the same number could be seen when i had dropped the gas tank (bob sindelar was kind enough to point that out to me).
