I worked on the car again. I finally finished mounting the bumper frame. I had to take the bumper cover so the holes aligns properly. I installed plastic clips instead of rivets on the huge long rubber that goes on the bracket.. it's getting there

thank you all for your comments.. it's alot of work but I will never sell this car and I mean it. I don't think I can do this all over again with another car..

Understand completely. Almost certainly would need to be done on another car of that generation. Unless you bought one “already done” which is great if you know who did it. Odds are you wouldn’t and it would bug you.
The work you did looks great. And it feels so good knowing everything under there is tip top.
Hope that beauty is rolling soon.

I had the Maroon '90 Z24 Coupe with the 3.1 and a sound system that could shatter glass. LOL. Exhaust made an awesome sound too. There are days that I think about it and miss it. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of pics as that was more than 20 years ago that I owned it. Pre-digital camera days.

I love the '78 C3. I wish you well with the build.
 
I am presently working on the driveshaft and then I will concentrate of installing the new fuel lines.

The transmission yoke and drive shaft have been powercoated back in 2015. :)

Today I am installing the fuel lines and brake lines.

its pretty easy steps. I ditched the pre bend fuels that I bought from Corvette Central and using some flexible fuel lines.
