I've been working all week on the chassis. With researching, and taking care to prep and paint the parts correctly, with the correct bolts/nuts, washers, all to install just as it came from the factory...it takes a lot of time. Tony and I arrive at 7am and leave at 8 or 9pm everyday. He's some progress through Tuesday, April 9, 2019:
 |
| Chassis installed: Rear, half shafts, shocks. |
 |
| A closer look at the half shaft, shocks, etc. |
 |
| Lining up the fuel tank. Notice the anti-noise strip under the tank...glued to the tank vs the frame per review of a couple of original 1963 cars. |
 |
| Tank and fuel neck is in and strapped down. |
 |
| Rear leaf spring bolted and in place. Painter grey with the black plastic liners. |
 |
| Installing the bushings in the lower control arms with Andrew at Tony's Corvettes. |
 |
| Andrew mentioned that the bushings went in rather easily...as these lower control arms were very straight. Not typical, usually the control arms are slightly bent and makes it a challenge to get bot in...it only took about 5 min to get both lower control arms completed. |
