Nice progress. :thumbsup:

BTW-I think I saw one other mid-year build mentioned in this thread. How many Vettes have you built PT style?

Thanks! It's moving a bit slower than I would like, but that's just the way it goes.
This is my second pro touring/restomod Corvette build, but I have restored ten C2 Vettes.

Nice work. It's coming along nice.

12" Centerforce dual friction clutch(comes with ARP bolts and alignment tool) Im a big fan of this clutch. I used this clutch last year as well to replace the damaged clutch(do to improper installation by the chassis company) on the last restomod.

Reconditioned Original 621 Bellhousing. BTW, DON'T use allen head bolts to install the bellhousing, use hex or 12 point. If you need to change your clutch or remove the bellhousing for any reason in the future once the body is on, you wont be able to get a socket on the two upper allen bolts.

Here you can see the repro and original side by side. I think the bellhousing i received might even be a knock off of the reproduction. The metal is extremely porous and the casting number in the side is very faint. It was so far out of whack that it will be going back to the company I purchased it from.

Again, here you can see just how porous the reproduction is.

I went with the polished lip and brushed center. I did not order them with the black accent like the picture shows.
