1962 Corvette Resto-mod/Pro-touring/Street-rod All C4

1962 Corvette.  Fresh frame off custom build. Just completed  03/2013.   As you can see. although this car is a full Restomod with an all C4 Corvette driveline it was built with a little more Street/hotrod flavor. The C4 suspension was narrowed by 2 inches front and rear to allow the 17 and 18 inch wheels and tires to tuck under the fenders for that aggressive rake and look.  I am the owner and builder of the car and available to answer any questions you may have.   My cell is 352-283-0076.   I am including a detailed description and pictures to show the quality of the car.

BODY/Paint:

Build started with a nice complete original Florida car. It was a 25 year old abandon restoration project. Body stripped bare. epoxy primed. all gaps worked for excellent fit. Body had a previous very old poor repair on driver's side lower fender panel. Panel remove and replaced with a new press molded lower panel and bonding strip. all other panels and bonding strips original. Other customizations to body are the spare tire well has been modified to clear the C4 Dana 44 and for the exhausts to run over rear suspension and exit through rear panel. Most others run under. The rear wheel wells are mini tubbed for tire clearance yet still allow the fold down convertible top. most all other Restomods with large tires tucked under the fenders are no top or Hard top only cars.

Paint is House of Color Jet set Black urethane single stage 2 part paint. I have built several black cars and black in single stage will show a deeper richer color tone compared to the plastic look of black with clear coat. Paint and body work is excellent. as shown in photos. plus all underside surfaces. hood. convert boot. trunk. and under floor painted body color.
