I have a great project car for someone. Here is a brief description of what I have done:

I have started the restoration process and have most of the rolling chassis r4eady to reassemble. The car has a big block motor in it since the late 60"s and the frame along with all components are set up now to the 454 big block motor back in it. The body from th4e firewall back is in good condition and has been stripped down to the raw fiberglass. The front clip was removed based on the professional opinion of a corvette paint and body shop. The front end would never have been able to be repaired to perfect condition so this would give the best result. The four-speed transmission has been completely rebuilt. The steering box and column have been redone. The rear end has a 3:73 positraction unit and has also been completely rebuilt and the housing black glass powder coated to match the frame All chassis part front suspension leaf springs etc. have all been either powder coated in gloss black or have all been dipped in zinc to protect them. The front coil springs have been custom made to support the weight of a big block motor to support the weight of big block motor as well as been cut to lower the front-end by 1 1/2 inches. The front brake are now discs done by master power with a new master cylinder and proportioning value to make it compatible with rear drum brakes.

I have most of the parts. Some things have been restored others have not. The front clip is the most significant ($4200) part that is missing.

The body minus the front clip is all original. The motormouth and the exhaust system have been modified for a big-block Chevy motor. the convertible top has been restored to its original condition. I have the original front brakes system, but I change mine to disc brakes.

Clinton,

Did I miss something here? You've got a nice project going there. Somebody will probably make you an offer.
