In this episode of Hot Rod Garage, the team tackles a 1970s Street Machine Corvette with dreams of transforming it into a beautiful piece of art. The Corvette in question is a classic that has seen better days, and it is up to Tony and Lucky to restore it to its former glory.
The episode begins with Lucky and Tony examining the Corvette and discussing what needs to be done to make it a one-of-a-kind street machine. The car has significant body damage, rust, and dents, but Tony and Lucky see the potential and are eager to get started. First up is removing the car's interior to check out the chassis and see what shape it's in. Once they are satisfied, it's time to strip the car down to its bare bones and start the arduous task of removing all the old body parts.
Over the course of the show, the team works tirelessly to restore the car to its prime condition and add some custom touches to truly make it a standout. They begin by repairing the damaged suspension, upgrading the braking system, and installing a brand new fuel injection system. These improvements are essential to ensure that the car not only looks good but also drives like a dream.
Next up is the bodywork, where the team begins by replacing the damaged fiberglass parts. They are careful to use high-quality materials to ensure that the finished product is both durable and beautiful. After the fiberglass work is done, the guys carefully sand and smooth the body panels to get the perfect finish for the paint.
For any car to be a true street machine, it must have a powerful engine that can provide the kind of performance that will leave other drivers in awe. The team knows this, and they spend much of the episode building a custom engine for the Corvette. They opt for a 383-cubic-inch stroker engine with a 600-cfm Holley carburetor, which provides ample power and speed. The engine is finished off with custom exhaust manifolds and headers to give it the perfect sound.
As the episode winds down, the team is getting close to completing the project. The exterior work is complete, with the car sporting a beautifully shiny paint job. The interior has been restored to its prime, with new upholstery, door panels, and carpeting. The final touch is a set of custom wheels that perfectly complement the paint and bodywork.
