Nice thing about a 'Vette is you can swap the pig out in about an hour and be running a different set of gears. Drop the rear spring, half shafts and drive shaft and swap it out.

You should think about a strut rod spacer. Helps the tires during the "vette squat".

The roadster I looked at had strut rods with opposing threads and ends(not heim joints just threaded eyes with poly-bushings - I don't recall jambnuts but there had to be, right?), I figured something like this would probably be a good investment. (IT has brand new strut rods AND BUSHINGS)

Yeah, yours looks way nicer, just thought I'd share. Congrats James.

Congrats! Sweet car.

hey dave is your 68 Palomino and Gold... ivy gold?
Tony (Scuncio) has a 68 Z in Palomino and Ivy Gold. currently painted a different color if I recall.

Always happy to help out. Can't wait to see it! Let's meet somewhere on 85 halfway between Clt and Greenville.

Looks like a great find James, looking forward to seeing your patience and attention to detail in taking care of it!

It's going to be fun detailing it and preserving it.

I am looking for a pair of original seats,

The gentleman I purchased it from had about $1500 worth of Al Knoch covers foam and then had the seat frames cleaned and repaired, the tracks, degreased and then relubed -- all done at I think it was Eastern Corvettes.

The work order for the seats was ludicrous.

My only question was... DID you keep the original covers? NO...

I would gladly trade the seats for someone's good original seats.

Some thing closer to the pair in the lower photo... the comfort weave can be cleaned.

Congrats James. It looks like you opted to not drive it home. I like the look of the seats in it, looks like a nice job, not too bloated.

You have a good memory James. My Z is Ivory/black VT/ Gold, currently all black.
