You are killin ME!!!

[svr]

Brake plumbing about done, rear split

[svr]

Rear hose attachment, dont mind the runs in the paint i never noticed them until this pic

[svr]

Have to weld a couple tabs on each side for the hoses to mount to

[svr]

I used a Wilwood priority valve with 2 front outlets, 1 rear outlet and brake light switch all in 1 unit, looks good we'll see how it works, i have 2# residual valves in all 3 lines.

[svr]

I bought a Horton sway bar for the front but it just wouldnt fit like i thought it would, so after a few nights sleeping on the issue i decided to try the original Corvette front sway bar again. I have it mounted but the original linkage wont work like i have it so am trying to conger up some different linkages, doesnt look like the hiem joints are going to work right so will sleep on the for a day or 2 then fab up some.

[svr]

Time to get caught up here a bit, figured out some linkage for my front sway bar, had to add another joint in it.

[svr]

Installed

[svr]

Next bite of the elephant i decided to tackle is the exhaust, i ordered some 2" mandrel bends and some pipeand created some scrap iron but finally got something i like

[svr]

Finding the way under the crossmember

[svr]

Made it out under trans and am ready for mufflers they should be here next week.

[jjzepplin]

Oh boy! This is getting good!

[svr]

Time to get this project updated a bit, frame and under carraige pretty much ready to go. Now on to body work and paint, i suck at both. Haven't taken many pics of the many screw ups and do overs the last few months, but am finally makeing some progress.

[svr]

Got some color on the inner fenders and core support

[svr]

And getting close on the doors

[svr]

After my giant paint screwup priming the doors that ended up looking more like bed liner than epoxy i was PO'd so i didnt even take any pics, it took over a week to get the epoxy cured enough to sand and lots of work to get it mostly off. I then reprimed with urethane and put base coat and clear coat on the inside of them and set the aside under cover. Next is to get the cab ready and do the same to it.
I cleaned up the inside and put some epoxy under the dash, firewall and floor. Will let that cure a week or so before i attempt to prime and bc-cc the interior.

[svr]

Been awhile guess i better do an update. I got the interior and exterior in 2k urethane primer, lots of sanding and blocking followed.

[svr]

A few do overs here and there

[svr]

Got color on the interior

[svr]

Another

[svr]

Again

[svr]

Did the firewall while i was at it. Can now put cab back on the frame and begin interior assembly, wireing, ect. Its cold now and keeping paint booth warm enough is a real pita. Have a warm place to put it for the winter to work on the interior and try to make it run again. If weather cooperates and i get interior wired and fired i can put the doors on, maybe prime the fenders.
