Well guys i have been lurking around for about 6 months now and finally got enough done to throw some pictures up for a little progress.
Ill start off by saying this vette has been in our family since i was 7, i am now 25. My parents bought it and where the second owners. when they bought it, it was completly original, it even had the original bias ply tires from 75. It stayed stock up untill I was 18. Then i pulled my 383 out of a truck i had to install a bbc, after a little persausion i talked my old man into putting the 383 in the vette. We drive it like that for a few years, untill the paint started cracking and looking pretty ragged. In 2010 we worked on stripping off the paint. Well life got in the way and it sat in the garage untill summer of 2012. Then i got started in it pretty much full time after work each night.
since this last summer i have been sanding, sanding and sanding. Last week I ordered new fiberglass front and rear bumpers to mold in (they should be here next week). Last night i put on the fresh rebuilt holley 780 and stainless sidepipes.
I will continue to update this thread. Any and all input will be greatly appreciated.
