69 Vette - Killer II Project Thread
I purchased 69myway's Killer II project back in March '10. Throughout the summer, progress was slow but now the project has started gaining more momentum so I figured I would share.
The basics of the project are: '69 Corvette Convertible L88 Flares and Hood L18 496 Big Block FI, AC, Cruise Richmond 6sp VB&P Suspension Some background on what was completed by 69myway: McSpeed.com http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...I/IMAG0206.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...I/IMAG0205.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...I/IMAG0146.jpg The L18 is a big block with LSx DNA so I decided I would make the L18 look similar to an LSx by smoothing the aluminum intake and wrinkle coating black. Once I get my new garage going, I will fabricate some FRC's to fit the massive valve covers. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...I/IMAG0159.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...I/IMAG0161.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...I/IMAG0181.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...I/IMAG0189.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...I/IMAG0191.jpg The body work has begun! Tim Bragg of D&D Classic Restoration is my body man. He has been making quite a bit of progress since November. The car has been painted at least 4 times taht we can tell. 3 times red and once silver. This time around, it will be black :cool: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...r%20II/102.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...r%20II/105.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...r%20II/116.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...r%20II/117.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...r%20II/093.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...orvette005.jpg |
I was wondering what had happened to this project, good to see that it is getting completed. Plans for wheels/tires?
|
I've have been wondering the same thing. I would like to do something different than the original car but I can't seem to find the right set. Any suggestions? Sizes should be in the neighborhood of 295/18 front and 335/18 rear but there are not many brands to choose from.

Oh MAN! That all over primer looks sweeeeet!
I'm jealous. I really hope I get to go for a spin in the Modern Rat once it has a windshield and all in.... I miss that project...but I do have a finished basement to show for having giving it up! LOL At least the whole family can pile in the basement and hang out while it is -5 degrees outside. We'll get that a/c system together once the slick stuff is on and together! Keep the updates coming - I'm subscribed!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
It looks great all one color. Sweet project.

Man this is just pushing me more towards wanting to do a C3 project. I never got into body work when I was repairing/modifying these cars but I've wanted to. I love the chrome bumper cars but think a late c3 can look amazing when done right. There are so many late c3s that need body work done for a cheap price. This just might push me over the edge, lol.
Keep up the good work and keep the pictures coming. |
Congrats, Brad. Glad to see it making progress. I look forward
to see it pounding the streets this summer....maybe. Nice talking with you earlier... Glad you started a build thread here--very cool site. Looks "killer" just seeing it all one color even if it is primer...:D :thumbsup: John |
