Your body panel alignment looks great! Sorry if I missed it but who/what are those hood hinges from?

Thanks! and no you didn't miss but James, the guy helping me ended up making them, I showed up to the garage one evening and he had one in the works. I told him we should start producing them and he just laughed at me!

Thanks for the kind words! I've had some good help, it's been a lot of work and tons of research but it's been a lot of fun.
But it will be finished before we know it! it has went so quick

widewhite70 · 12-25-2012, 07:12 PM

Thanks Mike! hopefully it will eventually take off like yours did!

widewhite70 · 12-25-2012, 09:47 PM

Played with a little color

zacthrasher · 12-26-2012, 12:18 AM

Very nice! I like the 18" wheels, they show a little more rubber/meat than 20" wheels.

I may have missed it in your thread but where did you find your motor?

Thanks! and I have to agree with you I like to see a little rubber too.
But I got the engine, transmission, computer from a place here in Ohio called Cleveland Pick-A-Part.

Here's a couple new ones, starting to clean up all the aluminum suspension components, and got the bed filler work started

widewhite70 · 01-17-2013, 11:35 PM

I've got my brother Clay doing a little TIG clean up on some of the welds on the frame.

**67cheby** · 01-18-2013, 11:22 AM

STOCKISH · 01-18-2013, 12:33 PM

Very nice build!

Mike Bradbury · 01-20-2013, 01:37 AM

Just got done reading through the whole thing, Not sure how I missed it but it is looking great! It seemed as though in the beginning you were leaning toward a green color and now are more leaning brown. I never thought I would like green when I bought my truck and it was first on my list to change but then I started liking the color because there were so few turquoise trucks out there. Now if I ever get around to painting my truck I will still paint it turquoise but in the hot rod flatz paint. I am just too rough on my truck to keep it looking nice and shiny. First time I squeezed along the side of it in the garage and put a scratch in the old oxidizing paint I assured myself that if I had spent a bunch of time and money I would be crying right now.

Looking back to your auto cross video, I noticed that when you would accelerate your rear suspension seemed to be having a hard time controlling body roll. What kind of spring/shock combo are you running on the corvette suspension? I did not see any sway bar but I am not that familiar with the Corvette rear end so it might be hiding somewhere. With the drastic roll of the body like that I bet the t the contact patch of your tires is being compromised.

How is your turning radius with the wide tires and the corvette rack? Any rubbing, or bump scuffing?
