Getting things started and organized is a good thing, keep up the good work, and keep us posted. I always like to see others going through what I did. Keep the pics coming..

As Brian says, keep the pics coming! To me, the best feeling in the world is when the paint has gone on, and you're reassembling your baby!

Default Update

I did a little soda blasting today...probably around 4-5 hours. Our compressor doesnt keep up with the blaster so its kinda painful. Anyway this is what I got accomplished!

I am always amazed at the people that can do this type of full frame off restoration. I dont think I could take one apart to that level. cheers to you for your future projects.

Just received my offset t-arms back from Bair's. Man, these guys do good work! Very pleasant people to deal with too. My only complaint is the $, but that is to be expected.

Default Christman Vacation Update

Well I feel like i got something accomplished this vacation. The rear end is almost 100% mounted except for the rear spring. I finally have some tires on the chasis again! Now, all i need is a ls2 deal for $3k and I'll have a rolling chasis. I wish i could work on this thing for a month straight and get her running. Anyways, see the required pics below. Happy new year!

Great work.... keep it up. I like the Corvette Parking Sign. At my house I had my Corvette (in pieces) parked in the garage, the crawl space, the garden shed and the attic. It's been 2 1/2 years of putting things back together again, now I just have parts parked in the garage and crawl space. Getting closer.

I'm a little behind you with my '75. Sent you a PM regarding trailing arms.
