Fabulous car, great project.

Great video, it helped me locate some of the bolts - I hadn't realised there were some under the sill plates. You make it look easy!

Glad I could be of help.

Very nice video. I’m guessing you’ll have to buy complete rear quarters I don’t think that little patch is going to take care of the problem correctly. Thank you for sharing. Just subscribed

I sure hope the patch works, it will be a lot less work :). I will post a video showing how it goes. Thanks for watching!

Hello Dick, Thank you for the interesting video. I have a 1964 C2 Convertible in very good condition, but the frame needs to be sandblasted and either painted or powder coated. I am a technician and have worked on many classic cars, but I have never done a frame-off restoration on a Corvette. It would be helpful if you could give me an estimate of how many hours it will take to remove and install the frame. Greetings from Austria!

It depends on a lot of factors, but you should give yourself a week to get the body off and the frame stripped down. Putting it all back together will take months. I have been working on mine for almost a year now, but I am doing a full rebuild of every aspect of the car and working pretty much full time on it.

@@DickShawThank you, Dick. Your answer is helping me make a decision about proceeding with a frame-off restoration.

Your car is amazing , except the rear flairs ,

[@DickShaw]

Those rear flares will be coming off and going back to stock. Couldn't agree with you more. They were on it when I bought it.
