one of the most exciting projects I have seen! Check out my rear rims - they look to be pre production 87 date stamped one piece rims!

mmatchett, what is the complete date on the back?

How does that ever get restored? Excuse my ignorance but that just looks totalled to me. Good luck though!

Any other Corvette it would be, but this is one of only 2 1988 ZR-1 Prototypes know to exist.

If you want to read some VERY fascinating stories on these early cars start digging.When I first heard these were being resurrected I must have spent hours reading about them.These cars arent restored,they are brought back from the dead.Brett,when I had my 84 I started buying early parts for a future restoration but the cars gone and most of the parts but I do have a few things left,all G.M.What I have left is an 86-89 steering wheel,all exterior lights,heater control.

Hey Jeff. I may be interested in the steering wheel at some point. I'll need a new one.

I put this wheel in my car for about a month and then took it off and put it back in the box.When I had the wheel recovered for my Z I used the box to send it out and didnt get the box back,was not very happy but I do have the receipt here somewhere.I also have a set of the front driving lights.

It will be fun to begin the interior when the times comes. The 87 donor car that I got will be a huge help, but the steering wheel is hard and cracked. I'll contact you when the time comes, for sure.

PS
I just added pics of the 54 Motorama Fastback panels in the mold making thread.
