Jeff's 70 LT1 4 speed convertible (the one in my signature) went into the bodyshop last week. He's redoing the entire body, including replacing the windshield frame & getting L88 flares. We're going to be upgrading the suspension & brakes while the car sits to let the fiberglass cure. I'm going to try to keep a photo record that I'll post here as we go.

Re: Upcoming 70 LT1 Vette project

I was at the shop last Friday, but Fred was closing up so I didn't get any pics. Not much has been done yet. The bumpers & trim are off, that's about it. Jeff showed me some of the parts. His tires came in. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: BIG!!! 275/35R18 fronts & 315/35R18 rears. Pics to come soon!

Is it the old LT1?


For some odd reason I don't like it when GM reuses the legendary RPO engine codes on new engine designs, so I like to think of it as "THE" LT1. It's a numbers matching 1970 LT1 (370 horse) 4 speed convertible Corvette, the one in my signature.

No updates or new pics yet, either.
