johns85mcss Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 This was my 1st car. Its been off the road for years. Added a few go fast parts.:burnout:Almost ready for paint, made up a slide show of what i have done to this point. Cant seem to find the afters pics of the 1st build. But after a few years of sitting it got rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 DANG! HUGE HUGE project! Should make it a MUCH better car though. Well done! What made you decide on the BB instead of an LSx? When does the SW corvette project start? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When does the SW corvette project start? lol 1st i was going to do a 383, then a blown 350. After going to a lot of car show, ive only seen 1 or 2 other bb montes. So after toying with the idea. i jumped in head 1st. nothing like a ground pounding big block. 468/450 ftlbs on reg 87 gas n built the motor for a 100 shot. The vette has been started. this guy is nuts. it is being built all number matching. date coded everything. he is draging his feet with parts. the front supensions is all in with a rebulit motor n trans. as fair as paint its 95% blocked out ready for paint. 63 was an odd year for parts. a lot of one year only. the seat tracks rear upper control arms moldings....

Chase@InsanePaint Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Gotcha!! I take it you'll take the car to the track a bit then?? Nitrous is pretty useless around town. Or just deck the heads & increase the compression ratio!! Sweeeet car no matter how ya cut it, though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
