Default C2 SRIII restomod build

After much deliberation I decided to order an SRIII chassis for my 65 restomod build last fall. I took delivery of the chassis last month and have already started working on adding all the suspension components to at least get it to a rolling chassis for now. Mike at SRIII was a pleasure to work with accommodating my wish list and my many questions. The chassis itself is a work of art, the welds are flawless and everything lines up perfectly so far. I've included a couple of pics below
Perhaps someone may know of a local supplier with good pricing on C4 rear wheeels hubs and C5 front wheel hubs? Parts geek seems to have the best pricing on the US side, and may just order from them....

Good luck with your build. The SRIII is top of the line.

I have purchased from a Santos at Caledon Corvette, Caledon and James at Northern Corvette in Welland. They supply new and used parts. Both are easy to deal with and know their stuff. Any new parts like hubs ball joints tie rod ends I use Rock Auto if they have it. Shipped to your door, priced up front, you know exactly what you are paying (taxes shipping, fees at the border) at the time you press the buy button.

That is indeed a work of art chassis. Good luck finding the parts you are looking for. Someone on here in Ontario just posted recently a number of C5 parts cars (Northern Corvette maybe?).

Take a few pictures along the way, interested to see your progress.
