First Engine Start on 1973 — 6 Comments

  1. Wow! Great job Gord! Excellent pictures and story! It will be fun to see it on the road. Come visit us soon!

  2. Thank you for posting your project. I just received my Dad’s 73 and will be tearing it down soon. I would appreciate any tips.

    • Well, I would suggest breaking your project down into four pieces. Chassis, Engine/Drivetrain, body, and interior. Also, use a spreadsheet with different tabs for each of the four areas; then start marking down on the spreadsheet which parts you will need as they come up. As you order parts, change the color, and add a purchase date… this makes it really easy to track what your spending and the parts you bought, and need to buy.

      I can send you a copy of my spreadsheet if you like as a template!

  3. Hi nice job I have a 73 also and live close to you (St.Marys ONT.) mine has a history to it also I am going to give it a make over starting in the spring just to dam cold now lol. I was just south of the boarder at Paragon corvettes and picked up a few things.

    • Great! Are you doing a full frame-off restoration? I’m hoping to get back at it this winter and get the body finished. I got distracted with moving a couple times, building a shop, and getting the 78 body ready for paint.. :-)
