1980 CORVETTE C3 WIDEBODY REBUILD

The customer contacted us to rebuild the 350 small block and get the car back on the road after sitting in his shed for many years, so we accepted the challenge. This is a really cool and unique Corvette with it's custom Widebody kit and 22" wheels so we are excited to get it back on the road so the customer can enjoy the car again, hope you enjoy, thanks for watching

I have an 82 Vette with a Dart SHP 427 making 550hp. I use a 4L8E with a US-Shift 4 TCU. I never really liked Lambo doors an any car other than a Lamborghini. The body is designed for the door to work. Everything else has this retrofit double hinge si the door doesn't hit the body.. I would love to see some one try a Koenigsegg hing on a customised car. That has a set of gears rods and arms to make the for rotate forward as it moves out parallel to the car.
