My Black Bitza
Scott:
Those are camaro wheels. The rears are the wrong offset and needed spacers to fit. The spacers on the car when I got it were multifit and had bent the wheel studs and snapped one. they will be changed.
As for 'stands' they are very stable. The blocks are 250 wide hardwood, so just as much base area as proper stands. I did a lot of pushing and shaking of the car to check them out. They are stable and the car has been sitting on them for over a year (which is part of the problem). The car isn't going anywhere.
nifty:
i like the 80 nose on a 73.... mate has one just like it in red....
have to agree with the camaro rims though.... if it were mine i would lose them quick smart, they a nice rim ON CAMAROS, but dont suit the vette.

I've been trying to get the seatbelts sorted today. I sent an email off to Hemco, so hopefully I'll have the new belts soon.
I've also been cleaning up a few more parts.
Stub axles with new studs and a coat of paint.
Next step is getting the new bearings and what not installed on the stub axles and bolting the rear end back together.
demonx:
All looking pretty good.
I should get my lazy butt out the shed today and get some work done too! You're making me look bad!

Time for a new update. Last night I had the awesome job of re-installing the handbrake shoes. Talk about a nightmare. Using the dental floss trick, I finally managed to get one side done. I'm really not looking forward to doing the other side. I have also cleaned up and lubricated the handbrake cables and put them back in. I will have to re-bend the sheathes since my new trailing arms have relocated mounds for the handbrake cables.
I have a few pics on my phone with the trailing arms and half shafts installed, but I can't post them at work since most imaging websites are blocked. I discovered that I have HD diff yokes from a bigblock, so the halfshaft u-bolts I bought are useless. I also discovered that someone has replaced the rear camber arms with late 70's ones. These have a larger bushing, so the ones I have are useless also. I decided to wait a little before I buy them from the states to see if there are any other bits I need. I have decided to get a set of billies to replace my shocks as well :22
I have had the seatbelts sitting there a while too waiting to be bolted in. Just need the time to play with it. At least bits are going back onto the car now, after a long time of only taking parts off.
