2001 Corvette C5-R Pro Mod WIP

[hOLMS]

Hi all, This is project #2 on the bench. This was a 2001 Rolex 24hr C5-R Vette that I almost had finished back in 2003 or so as it raced in Daytona, but with a different paint job. I could not find decals for one side, so it stayed in the closet for 7 years. Finally decided last year to chop it up to experiment with a Pro Mod build. Body has been lengthened in middle and front for proportions, wedged by adding new sides, lowered tops of front fenderwells and new hood. I've also made a scratchbuilt brass and copper soldered chassis. This one is on the backburner until I'm further along with my 69 Chevelle, think I may make these team cars. I do know two of my next moves for this one: 1) Shorten the length of top 2)Raise existing body bulges over tops of rear tires. Thanks for looking.
