Re: Motion Kit ?
Joe,I thought that they were Eckler's but, when I first got the car I talked to someone at Greenwood vettes, and he asked me to measure the width, and they told me it was a race kit, and not a street kit, and that the difference was in the widths..Now that we have taken the car completely apart.(it's getting a new birdcage) we know the whole body kit was pressed as wide as it is..the tail was originally open and the original 1/4s are still inside the flares..the tail panel appears to be handmade using all stock corvette pieces..I swore it was a modified eckler 6 taillight panel..but when we got the body off you could see that it was 2 stock panels cut up..it's really driven me crazy, I have looked at tons of cars online and some in person and nothing is even close..I will try to post some pics of the stripes we found under the new paint a few days ago...I don't really care if it is Eckler's parts or not at least I would be sure of what it is...the only reason I would consider it a Motion type kit..is well the hood is a Motion hood, and it is very fragile, and very old..and the rear spoiler appears to be an elongated GT spoiler..the mirrors are not corvette sport mirrors..they are GM midsize sport mirrors, (corvette ones are smaller)..Now maybe ecklers offered all the same stuff and it is possibly an Eckler's car IDK..I wish I could find older Eckler's catalog..ironically all the parts except the hood, are in the 75 Motion Catalog..which I have a copy of...Thanks,Justin
