Corvette Image has stock type glass, the more common 1 piece front ends will shift around in the heat. The front fenders are bonded to the steel windshield frame below the windshield opening, they pop off pretty easily with a flat pry bar if they are original bonding material the rest is pretty much bolted onto various chassis parts and the radiator support.

thanks. I looked on the vette forum I knew about and it seems like everytime somebody wanted to discuss a chrome bumper conversion the forum members would start flaming away, tell the person just to be happy with what he has, so I didnt even want to join and ask over there, haha
I know my brother got on a forum once and things got pretty bad
Well hopefully my brother can stay interested long enough so we can get this project on the way.
I am thinking an LS swap and an over drive AT would be right up his alley
