This custom 1958 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is powered by a new
GM LS7 engine 427/570hp with 540 ft/lbs of torque, connected to a
4L75E 4-speed automatic transmission. The powder-coated Art
Morrison GT chassis includes compact independent rear suspension,
featuring coilovers with adjustable ride height. Stopping power is
provided by the Wilwood big-brake package. Fuel is supplied by a GM
ZL1 fuel pump in a custom stainless-steel fuel tank built by Rick's
Tanks in El Paso, TX. All fuel and transmission lines are Kevlar
braided lines. Cooling is provided by a custom DeWitt radiator.
Exhaust flows through the custom Ultimate headers finished in a
silver ceramic coating. This project started with the paint being
stripped off using the plastic-media-blasting system. The body is
finished off with Duratec Vinyl Ester primer and topped off with
Axalta Boyd Red base coat/clear coat paint. This complete custom
includes a full leather interior, featuring reclining custom seats
for added head and leg room. The steering column and the lower
firewall were moved forward for additional comfort. A Vintage Air
system handles interior heating and cooling. The car instrument
cluster was upgraded to Dakota HDX analog instruments, which
include an electrically actuated hood opener and a Bluetooth AM/FM
Wonder Bar radio. It is equipped with power windows and an electric
parking brake. For safety, LED headlights and taillights were
installed. This Corvette rides on custom Schott wheels, 20-inch
rear and 19-inch front, wrapped with Nitto NT555 tires. Over 1,500
hours were invested in this "Little Red Corvette" build, which was
completed in November 2022 and driven 200 test miles since
completion.
