I’ve had this 60 for 2 years, taking slow steps toward full restoration/mild mods. Body is completely rust free, and original paint. It has a few dings, tons of chips, and virtually no paint on the hood and roof. I had most dents removed by a paintless dent guy, except for the rear qtr, where it hooked bumpers with a Jeep. That will get addressed at the paint shop. I hope to post pics of progress, as the paint shop is less than 10 minutes away.
So far, I have done the following:
LM7 5.3, Z06 cam Swap. DBC. 371HP on the dyno at the flywheel.
4L60 trans
Re geared to 4:10
80 series trans cooler
FJ62 shifter
Added cruise control
OME suspension
Factory 70 series 16” Wheels
285 tires
New TTailor carpet
BMW 3 series power heated seats with Torfab brackets
Rear seat recovered to match
Factory Radio Upgraded to electronic
Rear shoulder belts
Cleaned out and refilled gutter with drip check
So now it’s time to go to paint. I will be stripping it down, removing glass, and get it completely painted, including jamb, core support and front fender wells.
Here is how it sits today
