A week late getting it in the air, but here it is.
Man, I gotta lot of work to do...
Some interesting things... 3-speed corvette box with electic OD. Prehistoric "Cal-trac" type bars from the spring perch to the front spring eye. Axle retainers around the drum. Bendix electric fuel pump. Surprisingly, being stored in a dirt-floored barn for a number of years didnt ADD to the surface rust situation underneath.
The old man is the one in the Lions club jacket. He lives less than 2 miles away, and he's in on it now, but very excited. Other guy is the one that bought the Lingenfelter Corvette that I had.
Any Stude guys know the location of the VIN on the Stude?

The tow bar is visible on the ground in one of the pics.
Rearend is a stock, wimpy unit that will get replaced by an 8.5 GM or 9" ford. Wont be too hard. 56" outside from drum to drum, 41.5" centers on the spring perches.
