Do it Jamie......!!
Use that car for your artistic outburst Thumbs%20Up
Why not buy fiberglass replacements, fit the chrome bumpers into them and then glue-up the seams onto the car....(huh) Ermm
 
This winter, my 78 is getting it's engine bay and undercarridge worked over and tricked....Next summer the interior gets done with mahogany steering wheel, custom console of mahogany/billit aluminum and new gauge faces with brighter lights.
After all that, next winter it goes back into the garage for paint stripdown ZR-1 rear bumber cover W/ LED's and 80-82 style front. Also, i'll be re-designing the hood with a little bit of LT-1 & a little bit of rear cowl induction. All this is going to be covered in either 81 dk. blue met. with silver motion stripes or 67 Camaro Nantucket blue with dark titanium stripes.
 
So you see.....Corvettes can be your palette, passion, or pride whether the're NCRS or just an old street machine modified and brought back to respectability.
