Body off
Anyone care to talk about taking the body off my Vette. I mean after all
the other effort to replace so much of all the makings....I got to thinking....maybe I should just take the body off and cleanup the frame.....BUT.........how major a project can that be? We know I have already redone the rear and the front is in the shop getting new bushings and the new brake lines and on the way..........looking for a C3 radiator carrier...mines rusted at the bottom........looks like the radiator is ok...I'll be taking that in to be tested while I'm at it.

As a friend once said, you can take one off in 5 hours,
And take 5 years to get it back on. "Jai" > wrote in message ... > Anyone care to talk about taking the body off my Vette.
