I spent a little time in the garage over the weekend removing the steering column, dash, glove box, and carpets. This car has been played with before as I witnessed spliced wires and adapted nuts/bolts to hold it together. It does not matter though as it all gets replaced with new hardware. It is a wonder this car ran at all!!!

Street Shop Inc continues building my C5/C6 chassis for my 1964 Roadster. They sent me the following updates for my records of the build. I better get moving on the Corvette to keep pace !!   

Frame horn for bumper mounts being started

Start of rear rails. Machined and fit with bosses for upper a-arm mounts

Bungs welded in and rear rails machined for bumper mounts and tank support. 

Rear cradle mounts are built and the rear rails are ready to be welded to the main front frame.

Mounts for the m50 are installed, various pics of the rear rails welded to the front frame

Gussets are formed and added to the rear rails and allowed to cool to return to its relaxed state
