A body off resto on my 71. I should have the frame completely stripped down after this weekend. I will be adding those pictures this weekend.

You got some work ahead of you Mark !! I can't wait to see the finished product.

The body is in great shape nothing to do there really. Or is there something the pics don't show ? How long do you think it will take to have all done and back on the road ??

Wow, you got lots of stuff done already! You said you are going to use that POR-15 paint for the frame??? If you are that is some good stuff, but make sure you were plastic latex gloves and cover your skin up. That stuff doesn't want to come off once you get it on you.

Are you going to put in all new poly suspension bushings and body mounts?

NO POR15!!!

Wow.... I see bumper year Corvettes apart every day... I'm glad you're doing it right!

Steel Cities Gray right? Rare color, we've got (2) identical to yours except they are one year newer. ('72)

The door-to-fender gaps look really good on yours.

Let me know if you need any tech help or rare parts!
