The rear was finished off with an LT-1 spoiler and custom reverse
lights from a 1970 El Camino. Jim experience as a custom painter paid
off as he used his old school skills and created a new Corvette color
tat he dubbed Raspberry- Ice- Metallic. Jim utilized a ton of chrome on
the engine, hooker side pipes and factory correct wheels. He also added
chrome louvers to the sides of the fender’s and front bumper.
Jim told us that the sense of accomplishment is what made the project
worth while. This is especially true for someone in his late fifties.
Jim has enjoyed the enthusiasm of the good people that come to the car
shows and compliment him on his fine work. Jim told us that driving his
creation makes him feel like he is twenty years old again.
