Callaway Extreme Makeover

[Aurora40]

Mike Phillips, an amazing guy with a buffer, is going to put on a clinic on this red B2K. Thought you all might be interested. I bet one of you owns this car, ehh?

I believe that car was featured in the Vette mag titled Killer Callaways. I might be wrong I just know Ive seen that bra before.

1990-002, from Killer Callaway's also, in a Corvette book - that's where the bra is from

I thought I knew everything about running a wheel on a car, wetsanding, etc. Then, at a recent show, I watched a Meguire's demo and I was amazed at the simplest of things that make a difference. One of the things that I learned was to use a keychain belt clip to hold the buffer cord to your beltline. Typically I would flip the cord over my shoulder- but no more! Another interesting thing that I learned was a unique way of initially putting the buffer onto the paint in order to absolutely eliminate the slinging effect of the buffer. The guy was wearing a black Meguire's apron and it was virtually schlop free at the end of the 2 hour demo. I'd highly recommend seeing one of these demos if you've never seen one before!

How do you know which one it is or which year? I'd think with the dymag wheels that it would be hard to tell a 1988 from a 1990 (that's the only way I know of, and 1988 and 1989 had the same wheels, except for that weirdo 16" wheel in 1988). Also, was there only one red aerobody from 1990? Just wondering. I realize the production numbers were low, but I didn't think they were that low. That might mean it's hard to find one with a specific set of options...

You can tell it is a 1990 Callaway, by the flat hood and the curved dash :cool
All 88-mid 91 B2K's had the Dymags... Specific options, it is up in the air - whatever the customer ordered however, AeroBody cars are fewer and far between with a handfull of coupes & a handful of convertibles done each year.
I knew the car by the embroidered bra and personalized tag - Hope this helps

Wow! I guess I can barely tell the dash is curved. So the hood didn't get those rounded scoops until 1991? Did the 1991 still have the black narrow trim? Do those scoops help cool the intake charge more? I'd think they would. I am surprised they dropped them, though the NACA ducts look a little weird (cool because you know it's a B2K, but otherwise a little ghetto).
