I got some more of the front stripped out. I took the front crossmember off with my little impact driver. I can't believe it took those 35 year old bolts out with no problem. I doubt it would have taken a 10 year old Iowa bolt off.
I got some lines disconnected ready for the body pull. I took a break and was looking through the VB&P catalog. I was looking at the brakes section thinking that I should really replace them too. The I saw a huge picture of a black 69 corvette. The catalog was on top of a blanket on the trunk of a corvette. I kind of laughed, pulled back the blanket and snapped this photo.
Yea, I was standing there admiring a car in a photo when the actual car was sitting under the blanket. :-)
Then I got to thinking... some lucky guy in Florida is about to get shipped to him a new set of fender flares from Custom Image Corvettes. They were made from molds which were cast from Kaoss's flares and will be exact replicas. I will be getting a set in the future and wondered how it would look so I took that fender and just hung it on my car. It looked kind of silly with the stock wheels, so I went and took one off of Kaoss and put it on. It was totally sick. We have the spring unhooked and the stock suspension is still in there so it is sitting lower then it will in its final stance, and also the wheel's camber is way off, but it was still an awesome sight.
That set of wheels will be going on my 76 in a few weeks. It is kind of funny because when I first started going over to Custom Image, one of the things I did on my noobie list was to polish those wheels. I probably sept six hours polishing them. Then as it turns out Rob bought a new set and sold me those.
