Lifting the 64 corvette body off the frame





Well , stopped by Tims' Shop and they were puling the 64 off the frame so here are some shots of the process . This is kind of a backwards build . We all did the body and interior first the the engine compartment > Well now the gentleman decided to do the frame . I cut and fit the complete one piece front end on this one and set the headlight buckets in .. Cut in a new rear tailight section and maybe a rear finder . I'm not sure about the fender . I'ts been a while . Tim had a couple of buddies stop buy to help him cover the corners of the 64 body . Mike and Bob were a lot of help !Way to go Go Mikey !!
We just made a little body hauler out of a old boat trailor . Works great ! Guys are rolling on this one . Mike and Uncle Pat broke down the frame the next day and when i stopped by yesterday it was alll already sandblasted and being primered ! Geg ,just working from noon had half the grindng on the body done despite faulty equipment . The grinder worked when it wanted to . Mr organisation Mike was already on the parts order and had most of the parts coming . Good job Mikey . Now mikey if you want me to make you a star out in cyber world you have to let me show your setbacks ( F%@# UPs ) HA, HA !
More pictures of this and a couple real special builds coming soon ........................................................Grover
