B-Rod or Custom is excited to announce that General Motors (GM) has just granted a license to our auto body shop to manufacture new C-2 Corvette replacement bodies.
The license includes Corvette model years 1963-1967 in both convertible and coupe body styles with options for wide body or stock widths. All fiberglass parts are press-molded, post-cured and made with superior quality tooling resins. Vehicles will feature metal and carbon fiber birdcage parts and are assembled on fixtures that have been specially designed for that model. All parts are made in the USA.
B-Rod or Custom will offer their GM-licensed Corvette replacement bodies through five different packages:
-GM licensed Corvette body only
-Body plus chassis
-Body plus chassis and drivetrain
-Roller package with wheels and tires
-Turn-key C-2 Corvette
An unmet need became the driving factor for launching this classic car restoration project. For many years, B-Rod or Custom has faced the challenge of using worn original fiberglass bodies to complete high-end builds for customers. In an effort to improve the quality of the builds, B-Rod or Custom started planning and developing high-quality molds and fixtures to reproduce C-2 Corvette bodies to a higher standard. Since B-Rod or Custom specializes in custom builds, the natural progression of this project was to offer an alternative to the skinny wheel look of the C-2 Corvette without adding fender flares. Thus, came the “wide-body” version as well as the stock replacement body. At present, B-Rod or Custom is the only company licensed by GM to reproduce and sell Corvette replacement bodies.
When B-Rod or Custom was formed, the vision to make B-Rod or Custom the first name people think of when purchasing or building specialty automobiles was paramount. That name is now synonymous with quality construction, trendsetting style, and value-based pricing for existing and original vehicle designs. To accomplish these lofty goals, much energy was focused on the uncompromising task of laying the foundation of quality craftsmanship. Willingness to alter, adapt or sacrifice for the good of the project has also been a major component of B-Rod or Custom’s principles and convictions. Over forty years have been dedicated to excellence in craftsmanship and integrity.
Background
With over 40 years of building and experiencing the pitfalls of restoring 50+-year-old fiberglass cars, I made the decision to reproduce high-quality replacement C-2 Corvette bodies. It has taken me over 4 years, but the wait was worth it. Contact us today to learn more!
