63 Corvette Graveyard POS to Restomod Build

[Restocreations]

I purchased this 63 convertible project site unseen on my Birthday this past December. I was told it had a small rust area in the birdcage, the body was in good condition, and the chassis was solid. None of that was true. Just a reminder to never buy a car without looking at it in person!!! I know better, yet i trusted the guy since he sounded knowledgeable and nice over the phone

Chassis: SRIII Still making final decisions for the build

Body: The body will remain stock overall, but i plan to add wider rear quarter panels and use the 67 big block hood. IM going to switch the front end back to a 64 unit.
Something fishy is going on here! Looks like somebody took the front of the passenger sill/rocker channel and installed it on the rear of the passenger side.






Problem area #1. Looks the same on passenger side. Fortunately, the outer area is still solid. I can see it through the holes. i poked at it with a screwdriver and hammer and it did not puncture or flake.





The worst area is at the bottom of the driver's door hinge pillar. The area in the front, from the sill to about 2.5" up is more or less worthless. Ill fab up some new metal and weld it in these places once all the glass is removed.
