My ZR-1 plate project.

[Z51JEFF]

Ive been working on this for a few months off and on.As long as I stay motivated hope to have the prototype done in a few weeks.My plan is to make these out of fiberglass if I can get a mold made off this as long as it comes out 100%.I thought about trying to find one of the origanals but dont really like the way the thing looks.From what Ive seen in pictures it looks like the plate is flat through the middle while mine keeps the peak flowing from the bumper.We will see how this turns out.The biggest challenge is to mimic the character shape of the original CORVETTE letters in the stock plate.The next step is to cut out the character.http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a136/FLYTYM/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpst3rpp7nz.jpeg

If this works out I plan on doing the 90 plate. One major positive on my part is now that you guys know about this I have to finish it. I don't know how many times I've marathoned on a project to loose interest because it was takin too long only to set it aside and never touch it again. I've got a set of mirror fairings I pretty much did the same this with only there done,just need to make a mold and get a few pairs made.

I've got one of the original, I guess, that I bought off eBay a couple years ago. Still in the box. It was for a 91-95 though. If I can help you with anything let me know. Just haven't gotten around to getting it painted and such.

Thanks for the offer Jim.I would like to see some pictures front and back of the original for comparison if you have some time. I would like to see the size differance in the emblem before I start cutting on this.

Sure thing Jeff! I'll get out there tomorrow and snap a few pics for you. I can even measure the emblem for you.
