Details
This 1958 Chevrolet Corvette custom convertible is powered by a new GM LS7 427ci engine producing 570hp and 540 ft/lbs of torque, connected to a 4L75E 4-speed automatic transmission. The powder-coated Art Morrison GT chassis includes compact independent rear suspension featuring RideTech coilovers with adjustable ride height. Stopping power is provided by the Wilwood big-brake package with power brakes. This build started with the paint being stripped off using the plastic media-blasting system. The body is finished off with Duratec VinylEster Primer and topped off with BASF Old English White basecoat/clearcoat paint. It also features power windows and an electric parking brake, and, for safety, LED headlights were installed. The fuel is supplied by a GM ZL1 fuel pump in a custom stainless-steel fuel tank built by Rick's Tanks in El Paso, TX. All fuel and transmission lines are Kevlar-braided lines. Engine cooling is provided by a custom DeWitts radiator. Exhaust flows through the custom Ultimate headers, finished in silver ceramic coating and a stainless-steel exhaust. Custom wide quarters were added to accommodate the large tires on custom Schott wheels. This custom convertible features a complete Roasted Red Pepper leather interior, including reclining custom seats for added head and legroom. The steering column and the lower firewall were moved forward for additional comfort. A Vintage Air system handles interior heating and cooling. The car instrument cluster was upgraded to Dakota Digital RTX analog instruments, which include an electric actuated hood opener and a custom AM/FM Bluetooth stereo. More than 1,800 hours was invested in this build, which was completed in September 2024. It has been driven 300 test miles since completion.
