1969 Z-06

Mark Williams made the axles. The stock ones were .060 to small to respline. a little pricie because they had not done any yet. Something else pretty cool, the peddals out of a c-6 brake,clutch and gas fit pretty nicely in a first gen.without much mods and moves the corvette booster over 3 inchs for more motor clearence

Awesome project Bob! In hindsight of everything I've modded on my '69, your approach may end up being less work LOL! But seriously, it's great to hear how everything is fitting and what needs modification. You'll have the best of both worlds IMHO. Among the advantages you get to run the ABS, stock drysump, brakes plus no messing with new transmission etc.

Will you be running the stock BCM and instruments? Doing a custom harness or will you be able to adapt the stock one?

I'll be watching to see how you get on tackling the cooling and intake with the front of the '69.

So many questions.....

By the way - you are doing a great job of updates and pics - keep 'em coming Bob!

I've taken the stock corvette complete wiring and spent MANY hours weeding the unneeded wires. I'm using the ABS,traction control,heated seats,power seats out of the corvette,keyless start,power door locks with electric door latches,and the corvette guages with digital display. I'ts taken me 3 months to wire it and now i'm cross eyed. Bob

You gonna run the ZO6 wheels? or are you gonna be able to run a wheel with some lip?? I loved the twin turbo car .I thought it would have been over the top if you would have narrowed the C4 rear

WOW!! Nice work.This is going to be a real nice car.I think the Qa1's will work fine unless you want too go after Mark Stielow , Brain Finich,or Kyle Tucker in all competition.Some of the folks think it has to be over the top to be a good product.

I like the Z0-6 wheels I have a set of 08 crome and a set of 10 silver and i like the silve one's the best. GM spent alot of money on sus.

geomentry and I put all the same mounting points as a stock vette. As far as shocks go I used the Phafts on all corners

And yes David, we had a good time told lots of storys and lies. That place is just like a Hooters except diff. Attire. Seeya next time, Bobby

If this is a street car be sure to keep an eye on all that moly...... its brittle and will crack under extended street use.
