64 back on the road!
3 Attachment(s)
It's been 4 1/2 years of full body-off restore, yesterday she passed the technical inspection (mandatory in Belgium to get a license plate ) without any problems, thanks to the help from a lot of you :thumbs:
Very few things left to do, like putting the covers on the headlights. |
Very nice!
|
Congrats, a stunning corvette. Enjoy em while you can :thumbs:
|
Beautiful!

A beautiful Corvette. I've always like 64's. 64 and 66 always had a bad reputation as being the odd years or less desirable. Definitely a bunch of bull.

Congratulations on getting the 64 back on the road! Enjoy the ride!
|
Beautiful, great to see another C2 back on the road. Congratulations!

You did good, love your car.

Sweet 64!

1964 has always been my favorite year- though I love them all.
For years I have watched your progress and I cannot underscore how tremendous your work has been. I congratulate you and your lovely wife on the success! Benton |

Some more details about the job done:
- full body off - body taken down to panel skin, correcting countless 'bubba' repairs - body restore and repaint (myself, a colossal job by the way...) - chassis chemically cleaned and repainted/waxed inside out - new front and leaf springs - new wheel bearings and spindles - new shocks - new rubbers - 350 crate (after taking 327 apart and concluding rebuild too expensive) - 2" exhaust sytem, for (very) silent operation (which is what I wanted for cruising) - 5 speed Keissler 400 transmission - new 3.36 rear end - new drum sets all round - convert to dual master and power brakes - Vintage air aircon - Borgeson power steering - sound/heat insulation Dynamat all round - all new wiring harnesses - install headlights relays - new KO wheels and radial tires - lowered seats and gained inches of headroom - cut firewall and advance several inches for more legroom - reshaped pedal geometry for more legroom - restored seats, new leather covering - new door panels - full restore of gauge cluster and console - DIY moulded headliner for more headroom (not a lot but every bit counts) - a modern handsfree radio/phone system hidden into a slightly raise armrest (I have the original radio working too and connected to the aux input) - volume/station/ selection through power window switches. - takeCall/rejectCall/Siri buttons hidden in ashtray (still need to hook them up) - a zillion other things, all supposed to take just a bit of time usually turning out into a lot of time. I am not a well trained or long time car mechanic. Have done a cobra replica before though. This 64 restore would simply have been impossible without the help of so many on this forum. It took me 1272 posts:thumbs: |
Well Done!:thumbs: Great looking '64 and nice photography too. From one '64 Coupe, red, owner to another... glad to see another one on the road.
