      1971 Corvette L-88 replica build

      My last project I built was a Corvette Grand Sport and recently sold it .

      For my current project I purchased a 71 all original small block coupe, 82K original miles from a neighbor which I will modify to look similar to the L-88 cars of the past with many modifications.

      The car is a rust free, no hit survivor car, heck the original radio and clock still work and headlight buckets that work like they were still brand new. But all of that will go. Jeff Leech from Mid America Industries (309) 787-5119 is going to mod the car using flares from molds from one of the Owens Corning Cars and “69” front louvers. We will use his GS tube chassis that I had under my GS and mod it just a little to fit under my car and to position the fuel cell. This will also allow me to lwr the floor pans by 2-3 inches giving me the needed head room for the roll cage and good seats. It will have 95-96 Corvette suspension, Dana 44 rear, current plan is a LS3/515 hp carb motor hooked up to a TKO 600. Team III mini lite look a likes 18 inch wheels with 275 front and 335 rears. As the build progresses I plan on posting the build pics on the photo bucket site above. Currently, the project has the flares on and is ready for primer and for him to take some molds from. I plan on getting it back as a roller the end of Sept easrly October where the drive train, wiring, paint etc will be done.
      Thanks and I hope the build does not take too long.
