Re: 1988 KoH P8Y079 aka EX5006
I will present updates as this project progresses. Lots of odd items on a prototype. I believe they called the component molds "soft molds" until the final version was settled on. Tail light lenses have no molded in numbers. The rear fiberglass is hand laid. Many components have experimental stickers, or something to that effect...Pretty cool stuff😎

Looks like, even in 1987/88, they had settled on the ZR-1 moniker...

Scored some great items for the 88. A beautiful pair of 88 sport seats, ZR-1 transmission, intake accordion/clamps, dipstick and (under the blanket) bellhousing...

Original build manifest still in place. Over time, I'll gain access so it can be removed without damage...

Re: 1988 KoH P8Y079 aka EX5006
Ratty old gut still looks better with seats. Just imagine this interior cleaned and detailed. It will look new but still feature Milford Proving Ground alterations, such as...holes drilled to hold monitoring equipment, velcro, straps, notes taped to various components, etc. I'll have the seats restored with new foam and leather, new door panels and carpet so...hopefully the interior will smell and look new.
The car will soon have the exhaust and shocks (Z51) removed and then the underside, along with many components, can be dry ice cleaned...
