Finally taking the first steps
 

Yup, had some warmer weather today so I shot out to Rutland and got the cradles/suspension back under my vette chassis and made it a roller again.

Interestingly enough third gen formula wheels fit the rear of a c5 pretty well lol. I was suprised. They fit the fronts too, if you pull the calipers off :D

That's all for now. Hopefully start tearing the 68 apart shortly, just need to get a vw beetle out of the bay.
Yup, winters here and I'm bored :)

Oh, and ignore the trailer on the roof lol. My landlord wanted it so we tossed it on for when we pick the car up :D

lol I thought the trailer was a nice touch

nice have you finalized your plans yet?

Well, firewall forward I know 90% what I'm doing.

As for the rear I'm still not totally sure leaning towards keeping the vette transaxle now that Ive done a little more digging but I still have a few odds and ends to sort out. That and still need to take some good measurements with all the extra stuff out of the way.

You're going to break it!!!

Am I crazy for thinking those Formula wheels look kinda cool on a C5 Z06?

Yup, at some point I'm sure I will. If you don't break it every now and then you're not having enough fun ;)

And no, you're not crazy, I thought the wheels looked kinda cool too. Almost fitting :D

Speaking of wheels, one of the hardest things I'm having a time settling on is wheels for the car when it's done.
Need something in vette offset that looks good on a first gen bird. Hmmm....

nice

Quite honestly I would be disappointed with you if you didn't break it :haha:
