[Corvette Joe]

My shop in progress since 7 sept. Framed up really fast, but the finish work has been slow , very slow. Sheetrock installed , mud and tape tomorrow. Hopefully heat and garage doors very soon. Also waiting on the power company to hook me up.

I signed a build contract on 7 sept. Actual work began on 7 Nov. The shop is 30x30 with 10ft walls and a catheral ceiling. Tha pad out front is 20x30. I have a 10ft door on one side for my four post lift and the other door is a 12ft door. Opening of the doors is 8ft high. Construction is never as fast as you like , I have had some setbacks but overall I guess progress is ok. I just need my shop to finis my 63 vette and accomplish some work on my 67 before it is uop for sale.

My cars both have custom chassis. the frames were built by SRiii Motorsports south of Chicago. They have LS motors, 67 has a a LS2 and the 63 has a LS3. More to follow. Thanks for your interest.

Thats the way it always goes though, unless the Amish do it. Framing can be done in a couple of days then seems like it comes to a standstill. How about a few pics of the inside, and maybe of the Corvettes sitting on their wheels instead of their nose

Nice start make sure you keep us updated.

Hoping one day to do a resto mod with the 73 convert I have, been enjoying the z06 I have now, can not seem to get back on the 73 to finish the body work. Your C2s look great, can not wait to see the 63 finished:
