'59 White Corvette, A Gentle Restoration

[partsguy]

That's a bummer

It was. No structure anywhere from the firewall to the back seat. Load bearing carpet. It’s helped many others live though. If it was a Camaro or Mustang, I could have ordered everything as drop-in, but it ain’t and custom fab work is $$$$$

Here’s a couple things I have been doing. My old workshop is at my dad’s and so for months there was no progress due to the Covid crisis. I moved some things into our house that I could work on.

I finally found a donor for the correct spring to repair the seat.

The rear hub was cleaned up, and I have began to lace it into the replacement rim. I’ll have this finished soon.

A long time coming, with multiple delays, and a lot of personal stress getting in the way. Here it is!! Minus the headlight, which I intend to restore somehow. It’s first ride will be Saturday, to my favorite diner for some PUMPKIN pancakes with wifey, my dad, and my daughter.
