Default 1979 18 mo.Frame on resto.

1979 L82 4sp. Gymkhana
Just thought I would share this took me about 18 months to get this far. I worked on it throughout the last 3 summers, Next summer will be the obvious new TKX 5 speed, mandrel bent 304 as the current is a temp aluminized compression bent exhaust, It' s a Gymkhana suspension so not sure I want 17" wheels yet. After all that I am already looking to replace some of the suspension again, front control arms (adjustable), springs(460 lb.) In stead of 550, and probably adjustable rear strut rods.
I would post the pics but there is like 300 or more so here is a link to my Gallery. Enjoy https://www.corvetteforum.com/g/user/223221
