Default 1971 454 Frame Off Restoration Progress

Hey Everyone,

VETFEVER mentioned I should share my post here as well- so here it is!

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-progress.html

I helped my dad with a 65 Vert Restoration and been driving Vettes since I turned 16... This is my first car that I bought a year ago and you can see where it is at now.
I've worked at Wilson-Niblett in Richmond Hill the past few summers as well.

Anyways, hope you enjoy the post, and I'll be out to a lot of the shows and events this summer.

- David

Thanks for taking the time to post and congrats on the purchase last year.

I love seeing body off resto pictures as I know it's a lot of work. Please keep us updated and hope we get to meet up sometime during the summer next year.

I always enjoy reading a frame-off restoration project, you learn so much from it. Keep up the good work, you have done some fantastic rebuild there. It's sure to be a knock out when your done, thanks for posting.

My 1st Vette was a 1970, 454 - so I'm very interested in how this turns out.
Lots of GO - so just needs brakes...hahaha.

Thanks everyone!!

I posted a reply in the main thread with some updated pictures.
Been busy with school so didn't have a chance for an update in a while.

The car is currently at Klear Kustoms Classic Car Restoration in Dunnville, Ontario.
JP does incredible work. You can check his Facebook page for updated pics and what is on the go. He has done quite a few vettes including my dad's 65 vert for body and paint.
