My first corvette build

[IMG]

[/IMG][IMG]

[/IMG] I've been getting a lot of info from this forum. It's been a big help on my first corvette restoration. I bought the car COMPLETELY apart. 1969 conv. 427-435, m22, side pipes. There is some more pictures in my album. Thanks for the help.

Hi PM,
That looks like a VERY nice 69, AND, quite a nice piece of work on your part.
I can only find 3 pictures.... are there more? They'd be interesting to see.
Good Luck, it looks like you're getting close to being finished.
Regards,
Alan

Thanks, It's been a good project so far. I've rebuilt just about every part and taken over 600 pictures.

Thanks, Hopefully it will be done this summer. The guy I bought the car from took it apart in the early 90's. It will be nice to see it on the road again.

These pictures where taken when I was there to buy the 1969 El camino it has a 1968 corvette 427-390 motor in it. You can see the corvette chassis under the El camino with the 427 tri-power motor sitting in it.[IMG]

Man when you break down to a few pictures, it sure looks easy, but we can really appreciate how much went into that. Very nice job, and a beauty of a vette.
