1958 - CHRIS LARKHAM'S CHEVROLET CORVETTE C1
clearly has a lot of the skills to tackle a big resto job, but this one stretched even his patience. At first sight the car was a partially-done project that left him a lot of options, including a choice of engine and transmission – neither of which came with the car.
As is often the case with these projects, there were some mysteries and gremlins creeping in along the way, These included a mystery fuel-starvation problem that was solved in a most unexpected way. What we like about this project is the owner has successfully mixed old and new to get a good driveable result.
Chris is one of those people who believes that whatever the factory did originally should be used as a guide, rather than be taken too literally.
When you see the results, it's pretty difficult to argue with him.
