Completing assembly of a SWC

[Frank C.]

I'm looking for someone I could trust to handle this project. The bodywork is done and painted now needs to be reassembled. I have tons of NOS and used parts to accomplish this and a shop to work in or transport to another location. I would really appreciate any guidence from any of you members. I reside in the Great North West,Vancouver, Wa. So anywhere in Oregon,Washington,Northern Cal. would probably work. At my age I don't think I'll live long enough to do it myself.I Will prefer to do the engine work myself. This is an early #484, Sebring Silver. SWC # matching car with P/S & P/B 300HP 4 Spd. I would like to see this car survive. Thx for any help....Regards Frank

Shop to work in is great, any Corvette clubs in the area that could take this on as a money raiser for the club and also have the joy of accomplishment of putting a 63 SW on the road so you can get some use out of it.

Hi Phil...my original intent was to do a body off, but because of the time frame I have pretty much done away with that thot. I mean I started this resto in 1976, and finally got it painted about 5 yrs ago. I just have too many irons in the fire,(cows, hay, fences, trees down from windstorms etc,etc). I'd have to live till age 115 to finish this car....Regards Frank

Hi Jim...thx for the idea. I've never been much for clubs, etc. so I'm not aware of them altho I'm sure they exist around here. I'll do some checking....Regards Frank

Re: Completing assembly of a SWC

frank,not to be mean or cold hearted---if the frame is "unfinished" and the rest,(body), is XXX or 5 years old there is a small challange here---possible partnership on this car could be achieved depending on if you want it finished or finished NCRS style---there are lots of good people out there/here that can help---good luck, phil
