Default Ridetech 48 Hour Corvette Build Thread

I'm going to start this thread and keep updating it as parts arrive and ideas come up. The build dates are set for March 10th-12th.

This will be our second "48 Hour" build. The first, being the "48 Hour Camaro", was a very successful project that showed there are parts available (by multiple companies), that truly are "bolt-on". We started off with a bone-stock, 67 Camaro on day 1. By then end of the 2nd day, we had a monster, on the road and track. For information on that build, here's a link - http://www.ridetech.com/48hourcamaro/

This build will be the same style build (except we're using an eBay purchased '72 Corvette, this time!), a group of guys, a room full of parts, and three 16 Hour work days. The entire build will streamed live on YouTube, with manufacturer specific question and answer sessions and interviews throughout. As the C3 is disassembled, the parts that are not being reused, will be available for purchase on eBay. Once the car is done...we're take the car straight to the track! Below, I have the rendering, list of companies that are in on the build, and the new logo.





This build can also be followed at http://www.ridetech.com/48hourcorvette/.
