I think this is another ploy to set up the car getting stolen again

Looks like Rodger may have to set up some makeshift garage behind the shop. I think he's running out of room. Wheres Jason, he needs to frame up some additional sq. footage

Good to here its alive and staying at Ironworks in lieu of the metal box
condo.

Tyler,

Good to see you back at it. I was afraid I was going to beat you finished by default.

We are back baby! The car came out of it's metal coffin yesterday afternoon. It's a bit dirty, some tiny surface rust, but overall in better shape than I remembered. The car was even further along that I had known with the front suspension almost fully done.

The chassis table it has been mated with for over a year get slid out of the container.


Front suspension details like the UCA mounts, the bracing between tubes, and cradle mount.






More of the inner frame and floor bracing:





The car on its way back inside. She may not look like much now. But she is drinking milk (and chromoly)and pretty soon....



The rear C5 Corvette Euro tail lights already look dated to me. It was cool 10 years ago, but now? Not so much. I'm going to make a new rear tail panel from a sheet of carbon that will use the Marquez Design billet 68 rear tail lights and maybe, just maybe I'll even add a RedHead dry break rear filler for the Fuel Safe where the stock gas cap lived.


More to come as I get updates from Rodger at Ironworks.

Tyler
