Position of the lifting points is critical or the body may become out of balance and fall.



Lifteing the body safely, so as not to injure yourself or the body, is accomplished by lifting directly on the steel birdcage behind the fiberglass rocker covers.



Keisler Automotive modified the shifter mechanism so the handle would still be located in the console as an original shifter would be.



Due to the size of the 6 speed transmission, the tunnel area must be modified.



A lift is not required, but it sure makes assembly go more smoothly.



Slowly the body is lowered onto the new Street Shop, Inc. chassis.



Body installation begins by positioning the new chassis beneath the body.



Each body part is carefully painted.

Fresh paint shines to reveal how flat and smooth this body has become.



Sanding makes the difference in quality paint work.

Doors are painted separate from the body.



A 67 big block hood is detailed even under the bottom.



A very clean firewall.





Great care is taken as the new paint goes on one coat at a time.



Firewall and inner fenders freshly painted.



Painting takes place on the stock frame in order to not get any overspray on the new Street Shop, Inc. chassis.

Battery is accessed through the driver’s inner fender via a factory A/C panel.



Street Shop, Inc.’s Brake Proportioning Valve is supplied as part of the chassis’s brake system.



A stock 67 Corvette Master Cylinder actuates the brakes.



Firewall clearance for the LS7 is not an issue.



Close examination reveals the new Corvette accelerator pedal. It is required for the throttle-by-wire system.



Dash wiring and Air unit being installed.



Hydratech Braking system makes this Hydroboost power booster for the brakes. It runs inline with the power steering pump.

Classic supplies electric fans to make the system more efficient.



Classic Auto Air’s unit fits neatly behind the dash support.
