Re: Upcoming 70 LT1 Vette project

You mean like the LS6?

Pretty much. People say "yer putting a new Vette LS6 in a G-body?" I say "No, a '70 Chevelle LS6. The good one the Vette never got"... :lol:

Jeff came by today & we preassembled the rear carrier, upper suspension mount & the 4 link mounts for his rear suspension. I had to go in to work for an emergency, so no pics today. I WILL get pics soon, I promise!

Guessing your putting fender flares on it?

Re: Upcoming 70 LT1 Vette project

Yup. L88 style front & rear flares.

Trial fitting the flares. They'll drop down & tuck in a bit when they're grafted on:

Flares grafted to bonding strips & roughed in:

Now that's a nice Vette. I like the head light covers and the flares.

It's been a while, but the shop has been busy with "rush" work. They just finished Lito Sheppard's 06 Z06, so now they're back to Jeff's stuff.

Block sanding continues on the flares:

The rear valance was molded in as one piece with '68 backup lights:

The rear vents for the Astro Ventilation have been filled:

The suspension & brake parts are on order. More pics to come as we progress...
