I was just wondering if anyone knew of a particular vette reference that explains the differences in the dimensions and measurements of the c3s. Being that all we have of the 76 is the body shell, one of my buddys asked why we couldnt make it a chrome bumper, being that the only real difference that would be seen is in the gills. All I could say was 'I dunno. ya just cant.' All Ive ever really heard on this subject was that the fitment is different, and its more than just fabricating brackets. Heck, even that info probably came from you guys in one of the other many dumb questions Ive asked lol.
Anyhow, since most of the books I have are based on the 76 model year, I dont have the specifics to answer his question correctly. Is there any specific book that would have that kind of comparision?
Just in the way of update on that project... The 76 is starting to move along. The title work is good. The cabin is stripped of the moldy and decayed former carpet. The rusted out floorpans are in the proccess of being replaced, as is all the other trim rust. Im driving down to georgia in a week or two to pick up a donor frame and hopefuly a drivers door. My goal is by july to have a body that is ready for painting, and a frame that at least has suspension and wheels that we can push around the shop without a dolly. Theres alot to do, but its worth it. Im hoping to have some pics of the proccess by the end of the month too. That way everyone can be like " :WTF what kind of project did you take on!" :laughing:
thanks guys :thumbsup:
