Yep, really cool stuff I’m sure we’ll hear more on the first 53 Corvette as time goes on. Corey's current plans are that he'll take the car to some major events and let people see it in its raw state before any restoration takes place. I believe a reveal is being arranged at the National Corvette Museum for later this year.
It's time to get back to the steering column, we left off by blowing it apart and ordering in a very nice rebuild kit (link). Took some reference pics of the firewall mounting plate so I can try and get it close on reassembly. Before and after going through the blast cabinet, no special media just sand. Used a wire wheel and some sandpaper on the inner sleeve and column to knock off all the surface rust.
