Body is off on cart. Fabbed braces for door openings. Mounted spindle supports, springs and shocks this weekend. Trying to make it a roller to get in my house garage for winter. Someone spent some money on chrome work about 20 years ago.

Does anyone know where this rivets to. It probably about 7” long. It’s off of my 62. Thanks

It looks like a very nice project. I am a C2 guy and I am doing a 61 that’s seems to be About the same shape as yours. And I cannot believe how easy it is to do a C1 versus a C2. Black and red is great. My car is white and red. Nice find about 75 miles from me in pa. I missed one!

Tell me how easy they are after you get through with the doors, fitting the windshield, the dash pad, and all the under the dash stuff on a C1. C2's are childs play comparatively speaking.

Thanks Hermn59, I actually found the other side in another box. I painted up the rear springs and a new kingpin kit came yesterday.

I agree , I've done them all and the C1's are definitely the hardest to fit . Give them credit , They were just learning to build corvettes .
