1954 - c1
Hi everyone, I am a new forum entry, I write from Italy, trying to complete a 54, after a careful restoration that lasts for years. Since I want it to be as original as possible, I will not tell you the conditions in which it was bought here in Italy, coming from the States. Anyway, it would help me understand how wiper washer hosesm should be mounted from the bottle, down to the dash, if anyone has a diagram or photos, I would be happy.

This is the car for sale in Usa.
https://www.c1registry.com/index.php...tte&car_id=512
Sold in Italy at dealer.
Purchased from time to time by a friend who entrusts me with the rest. Arrived without so many parts that are present in the photos and very damaged in the front. It has its original engine and fitted a three manual gear, but there was a cast powerglide cast, which was rebuilt.
I take care of fixing and restoring the old Corvette.

Benvenuto!
That's quite the task you've taken on there, and from the looks of the engine, you're doing it right. Well done.
I am no help on '54s; however, I am certain that some of the rare '54 owners will drop by eventually and see your question, and provide some answers.
It's just that there aren't that many '54s, as you know.
I cannot imagine that there are many '54 Corvettes in Italy?
Ciao!

I am impressed with your progress. It must be very slow going having to wait on parts and without anyone to discuss problems.
Do you have anymore pictures to share?

Greetings!
I am in the process of restoring an early 1954 myself. The chassis and engine are finished and currently the bodywork is being done by "Csherman" who posted a photo for you above. Hope to be on the road in the next couple years.
Check out my website for progress and photos as work is being completed.
