yea well.... keeping it all original.... Original 69 Corvette parts must be a hell of alot cheaper than Original 69 Camaro parts.

 

It depends on the part.

 

No... I just know how to budget haha

 

I agree... my dad used to build dune buggies and that meant everything from engines to electrical... he taught me the basics at least of it. And I have already had to re-wire a few vehicles... not entire harnesses granted so that'll be fun haha

 

I'm willing to take my time on this vette to fix her up right is all

 

Another safety thing to check. Jack up the rear of the car, not by the trailing arms. Then grab a tire at 12 and 6 o'clock, and try to twist it sideways. Sloppy worn out front trailing arm bushings are common, and are a lot of "fun" to replace. The ones on the 69 I'm restoring now were so bad, the car would make a partial lane change on it's own when going over bumpy railroad tracks. Not my kind of dance!

 

Great looking Vette! I really like those wheels, and they will look even better with a little cleaning! The engine sounds great!

 

Will do, 69! Thanks!
And thanks 71!

 

After looking a bit better at them, I think the rotors are usable. I'll just get them turned. $10 per rotor is better than like $50 per rotor.

 

If my math isn't failing me, I'd say that's about $40 better for each one!
Gotta love the older cars that used rotors with some extra meat on em.
