highly modified 63 corvette

[streetmachine11]

this build started about six years ago. after rethinking and wanting to make some changes, it got dusted off and put back on the workbench. the doors were opened with a hotknife years ago (before i discoverd the back of an exacto blade) so the door gaps have been repaired, the jambs and hinges built, new hood scoop and a set of scratchbuilt rear window louvers molded in the body. the fender flares were scratch built along with the spoiler, and shaving door handles and vents were all done the first time around. after the original idea of a 60s custom, its taking a turn to a modern pro touring look.

Looks like a good start

Looks great , a little different but great all the same . So what are your plans for engine and running gear ?

[Dr. Cranky]

Excellent modifications. Can't wait to see this one in paint.

Interesting build.

From full flared '60s custom to pro-touring? This could be very cool!
