Subject: RE:New Here by Crazy8 on 2008/1/25 17:00:36 Thank you all for your condolences. It is something you never think can happen to you. I have fond memories of my father and I restoring his 78 Corvette. Last night, when I started tearing into the interior some, it reminded me of helping my father out. I know he is there helping me. As for the interior, I am going to keep it "factory", other than the seats. Carpets will all be flame red and all plastic trim pieces will be black. The motor is going to be stroked to a 383, performance heads, exhaust, etc. will be done to it. The transmission will be blueprinted. Suspension and brakes will be upgraded as well. I lucked out with this one...already has a Dana 44 in the rear. Just need a better gear ratio. For wheels, my wife has decided that we are going to get C6 Z06 Motorsports black rims....and an extra pair for the drag slicks. It is going to be a fun project! I am already hoping to have the interior done by the Super Bowl.  Now to decide what to do with my 86 Monte Carlo SS. Already dumped a bunch into it. Now, where I race, they are starting a GM Challenge, so I could run it with the Vette. But, my driveway is a little full with 3 cars and the Vette in the garage. I guess, once I have the Vette done, I'll make a decision on the Monte. |
