Howdy, I just joined and posted to the Autocross/Track forum but I'm curious if there is a better place for this post:
As it happens, I am now the proud owner of a rolled 1986 C4 convertible. It still runs and drives, but has incurred a moderate amount of body damage including the driver's side A-pillar and doors. It seems to me that the car really may not be worth fixing back to street quality, but will make an excellent parts car. However, in my pondering the predicament, it occurred to me that since all the fenders have been beaten up by boulders it might be a great opportunity to try cutting out the fender wells and putting truck tires on the car. Events like the Gambler 500 come to mind.
I fully understand that this is sacrilegious, but it feels like a worthy project for a corvette that would otherwise be totaled. It can then live on as my mobility buggy around the plant where I work, or as a donor car for my next daily driver corvette.
Has anyone here experimented with building a dirt road vette? If so, what did you learn? Where would be some good places to go for information?
