Joe, it was Classic Parts. I ordered a few things from them (shown in the build thread) Also ordered complete door reseal kits...I mean COMPLETE they came with everything. Waiting till after bodywork for that....untill then, my doors will retain the rat-rod-rattle.

The Vette is looking good...thanks !!

**ChiefRocka** · 01-14-2009, 10:33 AM

Yeah !!!

CSoliz · 01-16-2009, 12:26 AM

Chief,

When you ran your harness through your inner fender, how did you support it under there? any pics?

Bazooka · 01-20-2009, 05:17 PM

John, What size tires you got on your truck? Thanks man

**ChiefRocka** · 01-20-2009, 11:01 PM

I am running Denman G78-15s....I gonna pull the beauty rings off...I think it looks better without them..you can see more of the RED rim.

If I went with black rims, then the ring would be ok, I think,

joe231 · 01-20-2009, 11:07 PM

have you gotten anywhere with the 700R4 swap?
i'm gonna be building a trans x-member in the next couple days....was just wondering

**ChiefRocka** · 01-20-2009, 11:11 PM

Not yet man...been too busy on the Vette....

I was gonna get one from Bowtie, but I might have to fabricate one up now that you are !

joe231 · 01-20-2009, 11:13 PM

I have some tube laying around the shop so I figured I would save a 175 bones.....
i think we need some Vette updates too while you are at it

**ChiefRocka** · 01-20-2009, 11:15 PM

I have plenty, just don't a MOD zap'n me for posting non-truck pics !!

joe231 · 01-20-2009, 11:17 PM

that won't happen....will it?

**ChiefRocka** · 01-20-2009, 11:20 PM

Let's try:
-
-
-
Moved to the interior for more scrape'n and clean'm....
-
-

-
Couple shots thru the heater opening...
-

-

-
After pulling the carpet, I found the dimmer switch and pedal....Cool, never knew that about the vettes.
-

-

-
Next it was time to remove the column mounts and the pedal assembly...
-

-

**ChiefRocka** · 01-20-2009, 11:21 PM

I'm back with a few more pics....A few days ago...I pulled the rear wheels off to tighten the rear body mounts, and finally hook up the rear spring...
-

-

-
Hmm....mabey the raised letter looks better on the outside
-

-

**ChiefRocka** · 01-20-2009, 11:23 PM

-

-
Once on bench...I disassembled it for clean up and rebuild...The bracing will all be blasted and painted, while the three pedal arms will be powder-coated black...
-

-

**ChiefRocka** · 01-20-2009, 11:24 PM

I found the clutch pedal pin slightly worn...so before coating, I cut it loose and welded a new one in...
-
-

-

-
-
Yesterday, I pushed her outside in the nice California weather we are having right now....to do a final wire-wheel cleaning of the inside, before some paint and the DynaMat goes in...
-

-

-
Here I'm using my old "I don't care if it burns out" wire wheel drill...
-

-

-
That's it for now.....Monday or Tuesday should be starting the DynaMat....

joe231 · 01-20-2009, 11:51 PM

nice work!

mnky30 · 01-21-2009, 02:10 AM
