Default Snake Skinner kit

Anyone know how to get ahold of one of these? Last I heard, some guy in FL bought the molds from Morrison Racing and now makes them. I'm thinking about a partial kit for 88.

Thanks

KM

Is this what you are looking for? I have no idea where it came from.

Here is one I found on a French web site:

Please do not do this to your corvette, or to anyone elses, no matter if they did rob you and screw your wife after torching your house and church.

that looks like SH***

Front of the Snake Skinner car. The snake skinner body work, was limited to changes in the gills. It had 4 vertical slits instead of 2. It had a light weight hood, lexan rear hatch and other goodies that helped it weigh in at 3,130 lbs.



The other body kit is looks smilar to the Shinoda body kit. What's interesting is, it doesn't have the usual duck tail.

Following is a 2002 post on the Team ZR-1 net. Maybe some of the Team ZR-1 folks could help you find the "Lucky teammate Terry" that they said purchased the molds from Morrison??...

"posted August 20, 2002 10:00 AM:
Bill I installed the SS II kit on my stock 94 ZR-1. At that time the body parts were made by morrison and they were junk, blown glass, not layed in and would breakup real easy.
I also had a SS ZR-1 that was morrisons thus have used that body style for some time.
Lucky teammate Terry bought the rights to the SS II kit from morrison and I have seen a few teammates who have bought from him and he does a great job so I would suggest you contact his shop.
If using the front clip I suggest you also get the front undertray for that will really prevent front end lift at high speeds.
