The control arms are correct. I cut the tee bar out and made teflon bushings. The colr is Ford candy apple red code T on a early ford. Thank's Bob

Been working on the doors. I've used the latches and all the electronics out of the corvette power door locks and power doors. The electric latches in a vette are in the door post not the door and the latch is on the door so I had to modify latches to install in door.If you're familer with a C-6 theres a safety,non-elec, handle in the floor to manualy open the door so I used the stock inside door handle for that and installed the elec. button in the door panel and the outside handle pushes a elec. switch and electricaly opens the door like a corvette.Also has heated and power seats from the Z0-6 and the memory controls are also in the door panel.

Great Idea Bob, I see your making use of every component you can from the donor car

Bob,

Great to see this being done.

Curious on what made you go this route...did you have any performance goals in mind?

For example, did you set out to try and exceed the handling capabilities of the best front and rear 1st gen chassis/suspension setups on the market right now?

Or was it more 'this should work well...time to prove it' ?
