Getting the end result you see here was not without blood, sweat,
and tears. This Corvette was quite a rough car when our client
brought it to their local body shop. In fact the shop that
performed the restoration wondered if it was worth it. But,
fiberglass doesn't rust, so the project was taken on, and the final
product is easy on the eyes. Our client had a vision for the car,
and intended to follow through to achieve that vision. A local body
shop worked the body to a point that panels lined up and were ready
for paint. Dodge Viper Blue paint was chosen, which looks great
with the flowing lines of the Vette and is a slightly different
shade than the factory Nassau Blue often seen on the C2 Vettes. All
the usual trim on the exterior is in great condition, as well as
the side pipes. A Carbon Fiber theme was followed in the interior.
Carbon Fiber AutoMeter Gauges take the place of the stock units,
and carbon fiber look glove box door trim, and center console panel
give a little bit of a modern sports car feel. Silver trim around
the speedometer, and a custom steering wheel brighten up the
dashboard. give the car a more modern performance car look.
Otherwise this car's interior is a stock C2 Vette interior. A stock
frame was checked for any age related issues, cleaned up, prepped
to accept the new LT1 drivetrain, and painted. The engine sits in a
tidy engine bay and has the all too familiar Corvette upper trim
pieces from a C4 Vette with custom Viper Blue lettering to match
the exterior. Plenty of polished aluminum pieces dress up the
engine bay, while a T56 6-speed manual transmission with a Hurst
shifter make quick gear selection possible. Weld Aluminum wheels
give the exterior an updated look, and a hint that what's under the
hood may not be what is expected. Be sure to check out all the
