Not really sure what you are looking for, but I know a guy that does some amazing work. I have bought some of his prints, and have talked with him about doing a rendering of our car. Cannot remember the specifics, but you could certainly contact him if you like the look of his work.

An artist you might want to consider is Miha Furlan who lives in Slovenia.
He does a couple of different styles of car-related artwork and one of his styles is a very realistic detailed drawing of a car.

His website is http://mihafurlan.com/ and his email is furlan93@siol.net (at least that used to be his email in 2006).
Edit: Miha's current email is vicelford1982@gmail.com.
Not sure what he charges these days for a one-off custom piece.
More info about Miha on his website. By the way, his website runs slow, so be patient.

Back in December 2006, he did this one for me when I owned a black 430.
Zoom in on the reflections in the black paint of the car and the detailed work of the alloy wheels.

Back in 2006, I paid for the artwork by wiring Miha money (in Euros) to Slovenia and he sent the finished result in a mailing tube to me (which I later had framed locally).

He hasn't done any Corvette drawings that I know of (mostly European sports cars and race cars) but he's offered to do one of my red 65 Corvette convertible one day.

Do you have a pic you want the rendering done from? Or does the artist need to be with the car in person?

If you have a pic, let's see it

I am in the process of building the car. The body is painted I am putting the chassis together. I have an idea of what wheels I want to run but want to see them on the car before I commit.I also want the rendering to be in correct proportion. This is the body. It has 2inch widened Quarters.


These are the wheels.

I am also running 4inch side pipes.

It has a 66 BB hood that the bubble has been raised 1inch the back has been opened up like a stinger

Looks like it is going to be nice!!!

I am seriously interested in seeing what it looks like with the wheels, as I have been looking at some that are similar. What size wheels / tires are you planning on going with?

I would like to go 18-11 on rear 18-9 on front. That is if the 18 rears will clear the spring and long 8" bolt if not 19s rear 18s front

Pic below has only 15" dia wheels, but similar style, and similar color to yours, plus side pipes and big hood ... OK, it's not that close, but it's a start. Got it from https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds...e/2251835.html

I think I paid 300 euros back in 2006.

I sent an email to Miha in Slovenia this afternoon and he responded.
I asked how much is it nowadays to do a drawing of my 65 Corvette.
He said 300 to 350 euros for a 17x12 drawing.

He works from pictures of the car.
When I used him in 2006 I sent several hi-res pictures of my car to him via email.
His email is vicelford1982@gmail.com.

He emails you the international bank wiring instructions to send the money for the drawing.
By the way, my banker did not want to wire money to Slovenia back in 2006.
He set up a separate staging checking account for me (for free) to act as a firewall from which I wired the money to Slovenia.
Not sure if that was necessary or not, but it allowed me to shield my main bank routing number and checking account number from the sending-side of the wire transfer.
I've had this extra checking account ever since and use it whenever I wire money to someone.

Miha has done hundreds of drawings for people since 2006 and is IMO trustworthy to work with.

Man that's badass. Wish I could run 15s but it limits your back space and I want all the tire I can get.

It does look badass, doesn't it???

I have been trying to figure out what to do for tires, have similar 15" wheels, and I am not a fan of the all black side wall, nor the red line, gold line or whitewall. Thinking something like the vintage race tire look could be cool..... The Good Yars that are on the car now are seriously old.....




Probably should call our old contact at Hoosier.... we bought lots of rear tires..... only bought one set of front tires...…

You can try:

This is old but may be worth a look.
