1) A 1963 Vette. Restoring it back to original condition. It had some mild (not to good) custom work and paint. 2) A 1972 with a 454 4/speed. Rebuild motor and repair rusted body parts. The windshield frame is too far gone. I think this '72 will be a parts car for #3) A 1973. I am removing the tired 350/auto and putting in the 454 with polished tunnelram manifold and 2 500 cfm polished Hollys. and the 4 speed. The '73 is white with red interior. This will be changed to black on black w/ black sidepipes.I am looking forward to test driving this one. #4) is a 1974 with a rear end that some kid tried to repair with a hammer and a $9.98 tool kit. I think the '72s rear will fit right in. That is what is happening on one side of the shop. The other side is still building the best fiberglass parts you can find. Like the SNAKESKINNER II Aero ground effects package. If you have any questions about fiberglass or whatever I will happy to answer them if I can. Terry

So Terry what are you using to inhibit the rust? I have some rusted areas on my 74 & I'd love to know if there's a good product to get rid of the rust.
Do you have any pics of your progress to date? <img src="graemlins/cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

My first post.. I'm pretty new to Charlotte NC and have a '70 vette that i've been restoring. Any recommendations on where I can take it to get work done (the stuff I just can't do!)

anything is apprecaited!

Joe your best bet would be to get a group of folks together & have all of them wrench on the car with you. I can't recommend my dealership as they have told me that they will only work on my 74.
