If you get a chance, and you don't mind, could you get a good picture of the Z-bar pivot braket that is welded to the frame?

I need to weld one to mine, and I would like to see what it looks like, and where exactly where to weld it on the frame.

I really appreciate it!

Sure. See what brake fluid can do to paint.





And one from the top.

Thanks!!

I have seen different drawings of the bracket, but seeing a real one on the frame really helps!!

Brake fluid can do some real nasty things to paint.

I think you'll be there waaaay before me Corey. With the limited time to work on the Vette, I'll be lucky to have her in before the snow starts flying. What the heck, it's only been 2 and 1/2 years so far.


Don't forget some pics when you're finished.
