I have another build thread on the other forum but since there are many more local members on this forum I thought I would start another.
I had a 1976 vette in Nova Scotia back in 2006-2007. Ended up selling it because the money needed to go to some bills.

Not a bad car but it was screaming for a frame off resto...
So after I sold it and payed my bills... I spent the next few years searching for that one vette that really for me.
Having learned so much from my 76 rust wise I am very picky. Im also a mechanic so I have some knowlege.
July 2013.
I found the car that passed all my scrutiny.

I got in, under, over, through, and upside down on this car looking for the rot or damage that would keep me from making an offer on this car.
I didn't find any... I mean any... No rust on the frame whatsoever, Trailing arms and kickups are immaculate. Body mounts all intact and not rusty. not even surface rust. The paint is 43 years old I believe. and has its issues as you would expect for 43 years. the interior is the same but compared to my 76 and many other cars I looked at this car is a survivor.
I took pics of the only damage I could find...
