Corvette Rabbit Hole...
 

You're telling me....L-O-L....W

Today was focused on the rear end, or at least as far as I could get with the parts I have. USPS was kind enough to delay (lose) some parts I needed to get the rear end finished. I reinstalled the original rotors on the rebuilt trailering arms, checked them for runout, adjusted the new parking brake shoes, and installed the arms in the car.

I was able to get the runout to .003 on the right side, and .007 on the left. It's a bit more than spec, but I'd like to retain the original rotors if possible.

I installed new toe shims for the rear arms, set up like it came apart. Everything is in there temporarily, so it's not such a job for the alignment shop when I bring it in. The parts missing are some washers that get installed with the rear camber adjustment bolts. I cannot install the links, nor the shock mounts and shocks until I have those.

It's fairly straightforward to get those rotors next to perfect. I cut 1.5" square shims with a half inch hole in the center out of a beer can and stuffed them behind the rotor in the inboard areas. Got my originals to within .002 on both sides. Like yourself, I wanted to use the originals, having very little faith in the aftermarket. One of mine even had a groove in it, but I'm still more than happy to reuse that. Brakes turned out very good. ... oh, and loving the build updates.

I ordered some shims from McMaster Carr yesterday. I should have them on Monday. I'll take a swing at getting the runout closer:)

Thanks for the props!

Today I finished up the rear suspension assembly (my missing parts came in).

While this car is not an F41 car, I have had these really nice original and almost perfectly dated F41 shocks in my stash. I could not think of a better home for them.

Yesterday I had a friend at my disposal, so we got the motor tossed in. I spend the rest of the day (quite leisurely I might add) installing the clutch, bellhousing, trans, shifter, driveshaft, carb, and fuel pump. I have a few obligations that will pull me away from this here and there, but I suspect this should be making noise by the end of the week.

Looks great, but I hope you didn't dispose of the friend when you were done with him/her...:biggthumpup:
You get much snow up there overnight/today ? I get to plow again today.

LOL.........we did not get a THING for snow last night. I held off on much of my plowing as we were supposed to get 2-4" up here. They then changed that to 1-3". I had to chuckle this morning when I saw nothing. At least it wasn't the 6-10" they were call for a few days ago
