My build almost complete!
The build thread is in the C3 Section but I thought I'd share a photo here with the local thread.
I started over a year ago and have done most of the work myself. She is a 1969 convertible now sporting an LS7 and 4L75E Scott https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...9fcf5425a8.jpg |
Ambitious project! Congrats :cheers:

Nice! Bring her on the caravan in August!

Pretty awesome project! Was it primarily engine & transmission or did you upgrade other aspects of the car as well?

Maybe a trip in the future though! We are looking to do a weekend run to Montana and back this summer though! She will take the C6 and I'll take the 69 and just go drive! Scott |

The last of the undecided is 17" rims. I understand better tire options and better handling but I am trying to keep her as stock looking as I can. I figure keep the rallys and also the P02 hubcaps and just drive her on the 15 inch wheels for now. I may look to borrow some 17" rims one day and see if I like the handling changes more than the stock look. Still undecided. So, in short, yes. She has had many upgrades. The goal is stock looking as possible yet a very nice fun driver. Under promise and over deliver . . . . . . . Scott |
Very nice and ambitious project Scott. I admire your talents to wrench. Hope to see your 69' Vette in person some day. It sounds like it will be a REAL DRIVER.
I may have missed it in the posts but how long have you been working on the 69 upgrades? George |

Sunday the LS7 breathed fire! She took me to the local gas station about a mile away and she got her first full tank of premium gas in a year and a half!
She then took me back home where she sits happily after her first local run! Hmm, with the nice weather, maybe I'll drive her to work tomorrow! Scott |
Congratulations, that must feel great.

I had to go topless on my car today. The sun on my face sure felt great. If you drive it to work tomorrow, enjoy it!
