Very cool, love the seat color as well & I really like the idea on the rims of keeping the classic theme but with a completely modern style at the same time! Tough to balance caliper clearance and rim diameter with classic styling.

all bulbs LED by the way, modern radio with Bluetooth ))) with old look ))) and headlight is ..... you will see all later in few posts ))

Great project! Personally I love that you are trying to keep the original appearance while upgrading things to a more modern function.

I've spent my entire career in vehicle design studios for OEM's & when I see someone take something as eye catching as a C2 and improve on it, it always makes me smile.

Very nice! I love the overall "look". 5 months is incredibly quick for such an intense project. Well done.

In video you can see corvette body shell almost ready for new rear fenders (wider) and a new floor at the back. It is necessary for big wheels ))))

I see you used the Street Shop Pulley system. Did you have issues with it?
I had it and it was nothing but a nightmare until I finally pulled it out and replaced it with the Vintage Air Frontrunner system.
