Looking real sharp. Love the colour and the seats!

Is that an 80's style front bumper? where did you get it and what was the fit like?

TIA!

OK, see from your other post that it is an ecklers piece.

If ever there were non-stock things you could do, you've made it work everywhere! Looks amazing. Love the gauges!!!

Incredible vette. I like everything about your vette. Awesome. Mind sharing how long it took to restore?

Ok rear differential has been swapped, out came the 3.08, in went the 3.70 thanks mostly to Gordonm who did a GREAT job swapping them out for me. He really knows what he is doing and is very meticulous. Thanks again!

Quite a difference, car zips off the line now, like a monster, and I can use fifth gear without having to do 80. All is good!

Ok, first the interior was done in your basic all black corvette interior, then I added the wood trim kit (guage cluster, shifter console and door trim inserts) these can be found online, look up Sherwood wood dash kits.

The steering wheel i got here on the forum, but you can also get it on ebay sometimes I see it there.

The floor and cargo mats I custom ordered through my local corvette place, but you can get them online I believe, they are Lloyd mats.

The speaker box is an ebay item, came grey, i dyed it black to match my interior.

The seats are from an (86 im pretty sure) Fiero. I got them from a junkyard and then had a local guy recover them in the two tone leather.

The new gauges are Autometer arctic whites.

Shirfter ****, found at flea market, just had to refinish it.

Just a few other creative paint things here and there.


I think thats it, glad to share.
