A little more progress...

Door panel alignment finalized so mirrors could be installed.
I used door gaps and molding as guidelines.
I also brought the panels flush to the rear quarters with shims.
The pictures below should do the talking:

Before


After






Next I lowered the front ride height:
Stock

Spring swap


Also got started on interior.
Mounted roof panel first:


Installed the interior door panel, hardware, dew wipes, mirrors and speaker:


Driver's side is next.

Definitely even better looking with the ride height adjusted.

Almost strange to see it all back together. Hope I get to see it in person in the near future!

Looks amazing! I've always been a fan of those style Corvette wheels, very nice mod.

Yes the C6 wheels are so much more common these days but I really like the non-painted C5 five spoke.

Driver's side door panel reassembled - I still need to order some new inner dew wipes:


Sunroof panel didn't have 1/4" holes so I drilled them and finished seal install:


Sunroof glass hardware reinstalled:


Hub bearing nuts were also retorqued now that new roller bearings have seated:


Also adjusted front end alignment so it's in the ballpark now.
Next working on new power window switches and headlamps that are going to remain stock for now.

Thanks guys.

Passenger power window switch replaced:


I decided to swap interior lighting over to LED:

Unfortunately I never made it to the cruise Sunday as had an overheating issue on the way there in Beamsville
