When I was at the Eureka Springs, Arkansas car show in October there was a 1982 bright red convertible C5 Shark with C5 logos and C5 running gear. The car also appeared in one of the corvette magazines sometime ago.

I am trying to locate the people that performed the modification and I beleive that it was done by someone in Oklahoma.

Does anyone know who performed this modification and how to contact them?

Thanks.

I'm from Oklahoma and have seen the car in the OKC show. I thinking the car was done either in OKC or Stillwater.

We have some shows coming up, so maybe I will see it again.

Very sharp and nicely done car. :yesnod:

I located the owner who performed the modification at Merlins Auto Body in Enid Oklahoma (I might be misspelling the City).

Regards.
