New! Extreme Corvette - Wide Body Conversion

This project began with a pristine 2001 vert.

The New Extreme Wide Body Conversion Panels were imported from Germany. 

All of the original car panels, except the rear trunk and the deck panel, were removed and the fun began! 

Each new body panel was hand sanded, prepped and refitted.

 Extra care was spent to insure the panels were perfectly smooth and fit seamlessly. It required many hours of work to to get each panel flawless. This will pay off when the car is painted and each seam lines up better than when it left the factory. 

With the new wide body panels installed- the car is now 12" wider.
