Body Off Resto Modding my 1975 Coupe (T-top) Corvette. The numbers did not match when I purchased it and it had been sitting in a field with a tarp on it for years. It sat in my garage for 4 years and based upon the fact that the numbers did not match, even if they did it was going to have 168 (?) HP Based on the VIN - and the 75 does not bring a good (I am being very kind) return on the investment, I finally decided to resto-mod the car. All items will be new from the tip of the nose to the tail pipes. Currently, the frame has been sanded/painted (Black), Fuel Tank (Sending unit lines/hoses replaced), Brakes Rotors Shaved -(Calipers -painted Red/Lines/Hoses replaced), Rotors Shaved, Major Suspension Rebuild Kit added. The motor, best we can determine, is a 350 out of a 1969 Vette. It has been bored 30/30 the crank 10/10 and we have added Patriot Heads. It has a Street Eliminator Intake, 750 CFM Holley Carb. It has a Griffin Aluminum Radiator and Chrome Dual 11 inch Electric Cooling Fans. We will soon be painiting the body which has been stripped of it's original (sad looking) old White paint and its Ox Blood (maroon) interior. So.... that is the basis for this loooooong Post. Sorry...I am considering painting the car a PEARL WHITE, similar to that of the Cadillac Escalade and/or the newer Lexus Models and putting in a Sand or Tan/Saddle colored interior.....Looking for any thoughts on the Paint and Interior as it differs from the Typical/Standard Corvette? Thanks..
