You guys have created some seriously BITCHIN' vettes! And I don't use all caps often. Truly creative and proving that these old corvettes were a timeless design, that could be tweaked and look modern too. I love the wheel choices on some of them!

Jspan123 very nicely done all of the way! I can't see much of the interior but it is a great color. I really like the engine bay. Lots and lots of detail that is perfectly executed! Thanks for the reply on the gages.

I have been working on my 65 coupe restomod project for five and a half years now. It is intended to be a long distance cruiser, not a ground pounder. I should be finished in a few more months. Started with an SR III chassis; GM LS 3 Crate engine: Tremic 5 speed: C5 front suspension and C4 rear. Many body modifications including extended driver's side foot well for my long legs. Many more goodies. Here are just a few of the photos at different stages.........

Project completed in February 2019

Finished project.

After you slicked up the fire wall, what set up did you use to operate the wipers?

Wow! After seeing some of these builds...I think I'll just put mine back in the garage.

Honestly, some of you guy's are extremely talented, and build incredible cars. Congratulations on that!
