L88 features
Hi all,
I've got a blank canvas project to work with ATM.. A rust free 68 427 390 car with a rebuilt driveline, but otherwise it was largely a heavily cannibalised hacked about basket case.
Pondering whether to build an l88 tribute...
What are the main aesthetic features i would need to include, beyond l88 hood, radio delete panel, air cleaner?
Many thanks
Dave

Google L-88 > Images and you are likely to kick all kinds of pics. In addition, all of the Corvette history coffee table books will show the L-88 cars. There are additional photo references.
The 68 and 69 AIMs have pages dealing with the L-88 option package as installed at St. Louis.
Food for Thought: There are a lot of L-88 clones. Consider a ZL-1 clone.

Thanks chaps - been reviewing pics and struggling to find clarity on one point...
With radio delete - I assume that new kick panels were installed, with no speaker grill?
If so... Any suggestions where I might source them?

Hi Dave,
I believe you'll find that the kick panels are the same…. just no speakers were installed in the hinge pillar openings on a car ordered without the optional radio.
There was no radio 'delete' because the radio was an option.

Alan
