Got many requests for photos of the restoration...since I have been on travel a lot, I am having Corvette Specialist of Maryland perform the remainder of the restoration, including dropping back the old/new motor. So here are the photos
First below is the rear end....took out ALL of the suspension and doing it all over piece by piece.... The rear end was cracked and it had 3:70's gears. It was in excellent condition and no new parts needed, just cleaned up and tightened down. Part of the reason, it was a new rear end, housing and all, dated 1971.
Did not have the nasty 63 rear end parts, so it was in great shape. Again removed all the black paint, and left it the natural cast...
Next up is from the back of the car looking foward...trying to remove as much of the black paint from the floor pan area, so since the rear end was out and all the parts removed have taken the paint off the pan...
Next photo shows a lot of the suspension pieces, each piece has been glass beading and will be restored to factory condition...trailing arms were covered with paint and undercoating...a lot of work to get them back, some pieces where acutally CHROMED....so those had special attention given to them... but now all the pieces are looking really good.
Next post I will show ENGINE in car...the new old engine....
