I have not posted in a long while so I thought some might enjoy this one, Heart Land Corvettes had us do refresh job on one of their older builds that was going to a new owner. Heartland makes great custom cars. The neighbors all wonder what is going on when they drop off one of their cars, unfortunate they always come back and pick them up. We had about 34 hours in it. Polished inside, outside and underneath. Paint chrome and aluminum, as you can guess all took multiple steps. Rotary and Da, some areas had to be done by hand. It was like doing 2 cars with all the polished surfaces The Gray in the seat is real stingray, all the billet in the interior had to be polished and care to stay off leather and carpet.
 
Nice work and car.modern chrome wheels don't go together on a car like that.other than that awesome.

Agree on the wheels, the rest of that Corvette looks awesome. Those seats are too cool.

I'm guessing by the underside being as polished as it is, that the Corvette is probably showed more than driven.

Awesome job and thanks for sharing.

not a fan of the wheels myself but in a way they do fit as that car is more modern than the majority of C2's out there. Check out those updates.
 
The car had a modern full suspension with ls motor. Not sure how much it gets driven.
 
If it was a 63' then it is my favorite model of Corvette. The split window 63 coupe is the most incredible jump in styling I have ever seen.

And that is quite a custom.

I'd ditched the silly subwoofer thing, pick better looking seats and change out the wheels and rock that baby every day the sun is out. I personally would have not done red interior either. Black would look so much better.
 
Every car they build is a custom to what the customer likes, The car really looks good in person everybody has personal likes, I am just glad others don't have the same taste as mine. Mine is pretty well all custom. My son in law and I built mine.
