1988 #98 Corvette Cahllenge Car I recently purchased the first of two 1988 #98 cars. This car was raced the first three races of the 1988 Series by Stu Hayner. The car was sold and replaced by the #55 car (re-numbered as #98). Stu Hayner went on to win the 1988 Challenge Car series after...

For sale is one set of 4 16"x9.5" 1987 DYMAGS. Very nice used condition. Original 1987 finish with dymag decals still intact. Nice driver quality finish. $4500 or best offer.

Dymags for sure. My favorite C4 aftermarket wheel. I currently have.... 4 1987 B2K 16" Dymags with original finish and decals FOR SALE 4 GenII 17x9.5's 3 GenII 17x11's 2 GenII 17x13's One of three sets ever made. Need to buy another set of GenI's someday.....

I agree 100% with Z51 Jeff.

I'm going to make molds off both narrow and ZR1 versions just for myself and future projects. I won't be able to sell any Callaway panels though, due to Callaway's trademark. I don't need any lawyer bills. LOL

Nope. No buyers to be had for the 53.

Tom, sorry I missed you at the auction. I was there with one of the 53's. Ray Hicks owns the 53. Would have liked to have met you. Cheers!

I found a narrow body AeroBody kit and will widen it for my ZR-1. I'll make new molds just in case I ever have a mis-hap. The fun is all in the thrill of the chase for parts!!!

Yes, I believe that the mold, (which I made), had too low of a roofline. The arch of the roofline was accurate. The A pillar height was not high enough though, which caused the overall roofline height to be lower than the original. I am making a new mold with a more accurate height that will...

More than likely, both cars will receive the Callaway AeroBody treatment. The 90 will, for sure.

Change fo plans. The car won't be going to the frame shop until later. I decided to build my 90 for a daily driver for now. I found a Callaway AeroBody kit and will straighten the 92 at a later date. My estimate for frame straightening and floor repair was only $1200. I'll just paint it and wait...

This will be a fun car to build, finally. I was able to acquire additional photos from GM's archives last month. It was worth the invitation to take a look. Follow along and watch the car unfold accurately.

The car goes to the frame shop on Tues. August 2nd. And....we're off!!!!

LOL. Yep, this will be alot easier and I'll actually get to drive it. The "88" is too delicate with the simplex chains in the PhaseII.

I'm starting this thread with the purpose of showing the rebuilding and re-birth of 1992 #474. This car was wrecked at the drag strip when the right rear tire blew at high speed. The car ended up riding atop the guardrail, bending the frame. The passenger side frame rail was damaged by the...
