Thanks everyone! I'm finally getting a little progress on this car.

Awesome, I can't wait to follow along!

Love this type of build...great foundation to start with:popcorn2:

Small update after a little while. I got the frame pretty much built up now.


I installed the Speedtech/Dutchman floater rearend. Waiting on the rear brake caliper brackets, then I can install the Corvette parking brakes. I had Speedtech take out the 12MM studs on all four corners and put in longer ARP 1/2" studs. The StopTech rotors and the Forgeline RB3C Concave rims are on there for mockup for measuring overall width to make sure everything will fit to the body and just because I wanted to see it all together!!! All four rims are 18X11 and I will be putting 315's on all four corners. I did satin black on the inner hoop/spokes and transparent smoke on the outer. I like how the transparent smoke looks....no polishing all the time here!

I got the body of the car on the rotisserie. Plans are to clean it up and either paint it chassis black or rubberize coating of some sort. I was looking at the Eastwood products. What are your thoughts on this? I don't have the funds to do body and paint right now, even though it needs it, so I'm just going to do the underside for now and clean it up. I will also smooth the firewall, install the Speedtech tunnel kit, and install mini tubs.

When I took the body off the factory frame, I found what was left of the old build sheet. Real SS, 13837 :) I also have the original Protect-O-Plate.

Sweet rolling chassis. What are your wheel specs?

Nice chassis ! I would sand, spray black SPI epoxy then Black Raptor liner. It looks good and cleans up way better than undercoating.

Great project. And nice lift!

Chassis and wheels look awesome! Especially the wheels :cool:
