Default Tearing down a C3

I kicked off my C3 makeover and step one was to tear down the shark to the bones (or is that cartilage?) If you are interested, I made a video of the engine / trany / exhaust pull. Let me know what you think!

I'm interested in following along with your 68 project. I have restored my 68 convertible and am 1/2 way through the same on my 70 coupe. A video?......sure. That'd be great.

68 Project?

This is a 75-77, not 100% sure which, but for sure not a 68.

Love the video's, keep em coming.
