Look at all dat pretty stuff and chromed out parts. You said 58? By the markings Vette, 2 door slope back, with like 327 and 4 speed?View attachment 576656
Been busy working on the '58 and trying to stay off the wife's radar. A few weeks ago, I installed UMI tubular control arms, new tie rod ends, QA1 adjusters and a new UMI sway bar. After tackling all of the routine maintenance I pulled the valve covers to paint the "as cast" area between the fins and give them a good polish.

The water pump gaskets needed to be replaced so all of the parts that came off in the process got polished up as well.

I swapped out the trans cooler and relocated it behind the grille for better airflow and made new cooler lines from the trans forward.

With the chassis and drivetrain all done, it's time to move on to smaller, easier projects...
