Re: The never ending K5 Build LS Swap

I have to say you're making me feel bad with my "mild" restoration.

Looking at yours, you have restored it just as I restore my old Corvettes!

I've been trying to curtail the level I'm restoring to, yet project creep keeps taking ahold. Especially when I see a project like yours (as well as a few others on here).

Thanks for keeping up on the pictures,

Pat

You bet. I'm going to have a bunch more stuff to share now and over the next month. Blazer get's back from body shop next week and my LS will be ready then too. A lot of work ahead of me

What kind of vettes do you have? One of my favorites is the C2

A '62, and a '63.

The '63 is just nearing completion. Then I got sidetracked a little with the Jimmy!

Re: The never ending K5 Build LS Swap

The K5 went off to the body shop about 3 weeks ago and I'm hoping to bring her back home this week so I can get working on it.

Here's what the firewall looked like before.
