Beautiful stuff here. Love all the hoods.

Just noticed the spinners on "rosslato & redcruz1120" cars, I have to get me some of those, how about some info about the spinners, manufacture, cost etc?

I noticed that your wheels are Western Cyclones. You say you have some spinners? I am a sucker for baby moons and spinners.

Two years into the build my 76 is almost done. Should be ready for spring. Ls1, Richmond 6, VBP setup underneath and a hand made rear bumper. I think the best part is the script on back.







A few more mods to come as I finish up the build over this winter.

Mine is still a work in progress, but you get the idea. Custom rear bumper cover really improves the Image of these Corvettes I think. LS3 under the hood, C5 seats inside. Quite a mixture of parts, but all Corvette.

Brent, love the custom vette. Do you have a build thread? Do you have any pics of the script back light build? Looking for ideas, if you steal from one person it is plagiarism, if you steal from many it is research. Getting started on my c3, here is my c6 build. Also thanks to all who post thier custom builds I feel that a totally stock vette is a great donor.
