Thread: A new era

Tweet

My Vette is back in my garage and my son-in-law has started to tear it apart. So far I have a new front end, radiator and most of the headlight parts that were destroyed.
The front end came from a Corvette junk yard in Van Alstyne,Texas and I believe it will provide more parts and pieces as the rebuild progresses.
I have a couple of nieces and nephews in or around Sherman,Texas and one of my nephews loaded up the front end and brought it to me.IMG_7328.jpgIMG_7330.jpgIMG_7334.jpgIMG_7335.jpgIMG_7336.jpg

Just putting it back together or are there some mods also planned?

Just getting it back together is going to be quite a challenge. I had already converted to electric headlights and I believe everything is still there, but the mount is beyond repair. It was going to become a 4 speed car though that no longer is an option. Just getting the sidepipes installed will be a hassle.

At one time you mentioned that you'd given the 'vette to grandson Ian, or maybe that it was earmarked for Ian when you're gone. Is Ian involved with the rebuild?

Yes, Ian will be involved with the rebuild although it sat in his garage for over a year and nothing was done to the car.
The 66 Mustang, which is his, sat in my backyard for over 4 years and is now in his garage. Much of the sheet metal has to be replaced and now he will have time to work on it., maybe.
