Well, another money pit.

Finally sold my 78 about a month ago and have been deciding what year
corvette to buy next. Decided it was a good time to start on my other project and thought that I should share some pics. Needs more work then I thought but will keep me occupied until I buy my next car. Should be a good summer project.

Hi E06,
The windshield support clip in the RUST picture looks just like the ones on my 71, except flipped over!
What is it with Chevrolet and cowls?
Regards,
Alan

Too bad your not in Pennsylvania. I specialize in just that type of auto restoration. Metal restoration is all I do on classics and antiques. That type of rust is typical around the rear window and windshield.

Have you ever seen most classic Mustangs (65-73)? They came from the factory with cowl rust.
