Corvette 74 body off

Project Description add commentupload similar
After 15 years I finally decided to fully restore the 74 vette. The last picture is the current status and are now starting on the interior before the car gets a couple of clear coat layers and buffing. The restoration started in december 2006 and I can't wait to get it on the road again. Biggest issue is getting the parts over like the 700R4 tranny, 350HO crate engine, brake rebuild set etc as the shipping cost is massive.
As soon as there is some progress, I'll update the site :)

Project Comments & Questions
Nice post. Not sure what the issue is with shipping things? Where (generally) are you? A friend of mine has a white 77 all apart and might become motivated by seeing yours coming together. Any big plans for it once it is road ready? I have concerns over not putting the clear coat on right away? Metalic base is vulnerable to any slight dings or mars. I think the metal flake (tough it is tiny), is subject to damage without a clear coat protection. I would hate to see marks show up afterwards. I am NOT and expert on paint, so I could be off base here. Just a concern. Looks great!
This looks great!! We're in the early stages of restoring a '66 Chevelle right now.
