NO RESERVE -- 1976 C3 CORVETTE COUPE PROJECT CAR -- NO RESERVE My goal with this Corvette was a total frame-off restoration followed by a resto-mod rebuild. The car has been completely dismantled. The doors and T-tops have been removed and the body sits in a custom made wheeled stand. The windshield was chipped so I removed the glass and trashed it. I will be moving in the near future and will not have adequate garage space to store and complete this project. This car has always resided in Florida and when I purchased it, I also received a wrecked 1982 Corvette coupe for additional parts. The '82 car has since been stripped. I kept any poterntial usable parts and recycled what was left. What's left is a 2.5-car garage and a 20 x 20 storage building brimming full of parts. WORK DONE TO DATE As mentioned, the car and frame have been separated and the frame has been stripped of all components, including brake lines. The frame was sandblasted and interior cavities sprayed with Eastwood Rustproofing. The frame was painted with Eastwood Rust Encapsulator primer and Eastwood Chassis Black gloss paint. The frame is perfect. There was not any rust damage at all! Various other parts have been sandblasted, primed and painted. Small components were cleaned and polished in a vibrating tumbler. Finished pieces are sealed in marked plastic bags. But there is still a lot of work to do. The interior has been completely stripped with only the wiring remaining. Reusable Interior trim components have been carefully packed and stored.
