Customs Custom Corvettes

Those cars actually look great when ya get rid of the stock look

 

Me standing next my dad’s custom 65 after it was crashed because of bad brakes. He bought it wrecked and put it back stock. I loved the look with the pinstriped flames, fender flares, slots, etc. and wish he would have just left it custom.

 

I guess this counts as custom. It's next impossible to get a picture of it, this is the best I could find.

 

I’ve got to say, a lot of those vettes were not improved

 

Here is a prime example.... my vette as purchased

 

Looks kinda Barris like

 

Anyone have any information about this Corvette? It was in a movie "Drag Strip Riot" in 1958. There was a club of teenagers that all drove cool Vettes. It really isn't a half bad movie to boot!

 

One of the best. They have taken a nice style and "enhanced" it. Stance is great. Sometimes less is better.

 

I agree with you 100%.

 

Is that a trailer hitch ball? LOL

 

I think Corvettes look pretty good stock. My opinion is that most custom Corvette work ends up looking cartoonish instead of an improvement. You know, like a Buick Riviera....it's really hard to improve the looks. I did find this one interesting though.

 

Compound W won't get rid of that "wart" on the hood.
I will give him credit for the Magnesium Halibrand Sebring wheels.

 

OK Moriarty, you've won me over. I do like this red one.

 

Man, that thing is awesome! Wonder where it is today?

 

He might have taken part in 1967 Drag Week?

 

This.

 

Great collection of modified 'vettes. I will say that this thread once again shows how often Watson hit it out of the park with his work.

 

This is real similar to the one I posted earlier that my dad took back stock.
