Calamity 1966 C2 Corvette
1966 Chevrolet Corvette
A factory Small-block car, the vehicles owner had dreams of creating a modern platform to house the classic body. After a... unpleasant experience at another shop, Arizona Custom Car Design received a car that needed lots of love and attention. Partnering with Dynamic Corvette's and using their ZR1 widebody kit the slowly became a complete unit again. Thats when the small touches that Travis and Steve envisioned for the car came to reality.
This process started with the very basic foundation of body lines. Each line was reshaped to work with the widebody kit as well as factory styling cues. The goal was to make something look like it was one unit and intentional. Next, the engine bay was addressed to allow for the aesthetics of the LS3 495HP Chevrolet performance crate engine to stand out and be a focal point. Custom hood hinges were used to allow for a traditional radiator close out panel.
Riding on a Roadster Shop Fast Track chassis, with Baer brakes front in rear, the wheel choice was a painstaking endeavor. After multiple fitments attempts and wheel design sample, the decision was finally made. AG Luxury wheels where the obvious choice and they are, and an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end.
The process of building this particular car has been one of ever evolving design and vision. We are incredibly grateful for the trust and freedom provided to Arizona Custom Car Design by the vehicles owner and look forward to debuting the finished product at an upcoming even.
