C1 corvette restomod
Discussion
Hi I'm just starting my long time planed restomod project of my 1957 c1 corvette
I imported the car to the UK about a year and bought it to do this project
I'm sure there's a lot of corvette fans that will be horrified of thought this!!
I spent about a year looking for a car that was relatively complete but non-original.
This car was converted to a drag in the 70s then converted back to streetcar in the early 90s
So although the brightwork is correct, Mechanically it is wrong And theres a lot of wrinkles to iron out.
The car does still have a lot of original parts that I will not be using
Hopefully these can go towards keeping an original car on the road.
I have started a Facebook page of the build, Search " corvette c1 restomod "
There I will be posting photos of the build if anyone is interested.
Please Like the page if you do.
