I was approached by someone with this awesome project! He simply said to get it on the road and do to it what I found necessary. I thought I’d start a build thread to document the build!
We planned on putting a different engine in it, but I got this one running and it seems to be pretty healthy. I believe it’s a early 60s 283. I got it power washed and I’m gonna put New gaskets in it, paint it, and make it look good again!
The new seats! They turned out great 🙂

Well I’ve made some more progress on the corvette. I got the engine ready to drop in, and the engine bay painted. I’m rebuilding the front end too.

Got the engine pulled, it seems to be a 283. It’s got good compression, I think it’ll run!
Got to work on the ‘vette a little bit more tonight.
Gonna need a dash pad!
Been working on the corvette a little bit more! Here’s some pictures of what’s been done..
