So guys and gals . I made a deal on this . I will be getting her in about two weeks . Some like it , some don't. It is what it is . And I dig it . As a car collect not just a corvette fan I had to have it . So now I an drive a c3 all year round and even take it on the beach . Ha .
So the biggest problem with this car as you can see is the front . So I am on the market for a good used front bumper . ( any year that will fit ) and a set of rally type lights . Also if anyone wants the hood I am willing to trade for a plan hood . So this will be something fun to cruise around in while my 1980 is getting the work over .
also will be taking off the running boards and adding side pipes .

Congratulations and COOL!!! built to drive and enjoy like all of these Corvettes! Keep the pictures coming! I want to see you pull a Mustang out of the sand on the beach, LOL's!!
I like it! But I do agree with you, the lights, hood, front bumper, & running boards need to be changed. Then it will be one of the BEST looking 4 by 4 Vettes out there! As mentioned above, keep us posted on the progress.
So I went this past weekend and traded for this vette . Well vette body . I drove it from Bristol Tennessee to the Outer Banks NC . Through the mountains in Va. And then through the great dismal swap. There is really no better way to shak down a ride then to just get in it and go . Lol. I will start a new thread about it soon . There is a few things needed to pass inspection. And cosmetic work aswell . See front bumper . And headlights.
Thinking of a modified 75-78 FB and setting the light in that . No pop ups.
And for all the purists, don't even start . I would never do this to my 1980 . But that said she is a blast to drive . And how many of you have taken your cor ettes out on the beach ?
So today I order a fiberglass front for a 76 . Plans to add lights into bumper . Just not sure what to do . And I will start to look for a l88 type hood next . Also need a alternator bracket set to relocate the alternator as the 400 sbc has one way to high for a corvette hood .
And here are a few more pictures for now .
