okay, now that we are starting to see some of the parts come in. I have started to reassemble the frame starting with the front steering and suspension. Next will be the rear suspension, complete the fuel and brake lines. We are still waiting on the body, engine, and transmission. Pictures will follow tomorrow morning.
More questions, sorry is I have asked some of you this question. I found in the assembly manual items related to marking/painting on the top of the motor mounts. Does anyone have any documentation/photos of this they can share with me?
The motor mounts have the part number and color molded into the rubber and were identified by that color when installed. The color swipe was on the part. They are marked similar to the transmission mount and the crossmember insulators. This is how I marked mine. Note, you only see the white paint mark since the yellow one is turned toward the firewall, so don’t go crazy with that one as I found out after installing.
Here is a photo of the frame near completion. I also want to take the time and give a quick shout out to Daves69. He came over last Sunday to do a frame inspection to make sure everything was in place before installing the engine, transmission, and other components. Thanks again Daves69.
Good Evening, I know that it has been a little while from my name post. This week as good week because we received the body and the engine back. With any luck, the body will be back on the chassis next week. Also, I am in need of a driver exhaust manifold and heat riser. Once we received the motor back, we were informed there where several cracks. If anyone knows where I can get one, please-please let me know.
rlsscarroll / Duane. Just imagine a Red and blue Stage1 at Corvette Nationals. Or any show of the liking. Hmmm.
Do you have the part ##s for the manifold you need? "we " were just discussing this car this morning... too cool.
Hey Ted, The part number I am looking for is 1383549. We also need the heat riser and the left and right manifold heat sheilds.
