The car started life as a vert; it has a Z06/hardtop roof WITH targa conversion

Gas cap? Gary moved the gas filler into the door jam

I always run into him at the Carlisle events and every year there is something new done to the car

corvette script molded into doors
gas cap relocation
flushmount rear side markers(functional through the paint)
retro interior(2012 mod)
......just a few of the mods

Gary's car was our celebrity choice this year in Carlisle. We've always been impressed by the tasteful mods, ingenuity and the quality of workmanship. What's more important though is that he has done the work himself.

Great car and great people.
