Default Working on the Stingray
Hey I had fun a couple weekends ago working on a friends 64 Stingray

Friend of mine had rebuilt the whole car, but was having issues getting the rear lights working. A fun day in the garage!!

Enjoy







I hoped this worked by the way! First time posting pictures!

most electrical issues in the c2 -c3 cars were a ground problem. i had problems with the taillights in my 72, ended up pulling the harness and making sure i had really good clean grounds and connected properly. so far, so good.

Ground was the problem My friend had no idea about wireing. Being a Vette, he had no idea that he need to have each light grounded. Funny thing is.. The Car sat for 3 years like this! It's ready to drive now.

Lots of work rebuilding a car, but looks like it is all coming together. Will be very nice when done.

Looks like a lot of fun.
But watch out, I hear the "wannabe mods" grumbling in the background.
