Finally Done!
Well the time has finally came. I am done with the vette. It's been over 2 years, but I am really happy with the outcome. 75 conv, 350 engine with vortec heads, 2004r trans, Dynomax ceramic coated headers and mufflers, PPG Custom Mix Blue, 17x8 Boyd JYD-4 inch back space, Falken 255/45-17's, Van Steel QA1 front coilovers, Mushgeon rear fiberglass spring "ride is great, took 10 inch bolts all the way down to get to this height,Hate it" Big 632 billet fuel door, and many many more. Totally rebuilt from the frame up. This was my fathers car. He always wanted to do this, but never got the chance. I am thankful I was able to do this in his memory.

I thought it was black in the first few pics and then noticed the blue. It looks great. Got any shots of it from the side in the sun so we can see the whole package from the side. Excellent job on the vette.

Great looking convert.
That's a gourgeus vette Jesse. Had me fooled too, didn't know any converts made in '75 - made me look it up and thats the last yr for the C3 converts.
I really like the polished aluminum top water pipe. With that shiny new engine comp u gonn'a wish u had replaced the splash gards over the A-arms - not to late. 
I think ur gonn'a run hot in NM without a fan shroud. Replacements aren't cheap but don't forget the seal kit if u return to a driven fan - clutch or direct drive.
Man that interior looks great - nice match of materials - looks better than stock and still same vintage.

Thanks for all the replies. I forgot to mention how much of an insperation this forum is. I want to say thanks to everyone on the forum. Also I should not have said done! There is some things I still need to do, yes the A arm shields are no.1 on the list. They were forgotten to be ordered, along with some other things. Here's another pic. In the pics the color looks dark, but in the sun it really lights up. Will post some other pics in the sun later. Thanks again!
