    What are you working on right now?

    For a bit of a change, tell everyone what you are working on right now. Pics would be great!

    Here is the 62 L76 car I just bought. 60,000 miles and mostly unrestored. Radio and soft top delete.



    In the process of recomissioning the car.

    Nice mostly unrestored 62. My first Corvette ride was in a fuel injected 4-speed white/red 62 given by the original owner in 1963.
    Currently working on removing my 68's clock before reinstalling the reparied AM/FM radio.

      Right now, I'm working on losing some weight.

      As far as cars go, I have a 69 SS/RS L89 Camaro project as well as a 69 L89 Corvette project. I can't remember what the Corvette looks like because it has been under a cover so long. I've got the parts to do both cars but I'm missing a whole lotta motivation.

          57 nomad big block, I'm repairing the sending unit leak caused from corn juice in the fuel eating the seal. The brass float came off and fell inside the tank. Good grief...

            Two projects, I guess. First, I am finishing work on my '67 L71, have installed new spare tire unit, new date coded wheels and proper tires, replaced original sidepipes, radiator, VAC, restored radio and clock, now going to replace replacement carbs with restored properly dated ones. Top Flght last year, I'm going for more soon.

            And a project in a way, I ordered a new 2012 ZR1 and will be in Wixom on Tuesday building the LS9 for it as it progresses toward the build process to museum delivery late this month. It will look like the picture here, of one of the first out this year in the new, 2012 only color.

                My present projects:

                64 FI - The body's been ready to lift for almost a year. Too many distractions. I should have it off this fall, I hope!

                68 Camaro - The cover is off to remove the interior, but I ran into some sort of hush mat that is impossible to remove. It's now to hot to work on it.

                59 Series 6200 Coupe - I'm trying to get the fender skirts off so I can change the rear tires and move it under cover (but I can't move it until I paint that side of the house).

                Too many cars, too little time.

                  Currently doing a body on restoration on an ex Top Flight 67 427-390 White with red interior 4 speed coupe. Had a body off done in the mid 80's and got a Top Flight at that time. In the late 90's was awarded a 2nd Flight, missing a Top Flight largely due to side pipes.
                  We're redoing all of the suspension, pulled motor for repaint, spraying the engine compartment, new radiator, N11 Gardner exhaust, new carpet, general interior clean up, replacing all incorrect nuts and bolts and lacquer repaint.
                  Its a well documented BB with tank sticker and tons of other assorted paper work. Hope to have it done for the Pa Delaware Valley Chapter meet on 10/16/2011 at Country Corvette.

                    Work? OK, just chugged 3 miles, going to have a light lunch and then work on my tan and maybe later that bottle of scotch.

                            Same here.

                            I'm happy not to be working on anything at the moment... though my 70 Cutlass has a profusely leaking steering gear I need to fix.

                            Actually been working instead on "things that go bang" since that project list is too long.
