As an owner and lover of the C3 Corvette, having owned my 1969 427/435 since 1970, I must say you have built one of...if not the coolest....C3 Corvette of all time, Bob. I'm 71 now and having a bit of difficulty sometimes getting up and out of my car because of the Hooker sidepipes and a sore right hip, but until the day comes when I no longer cannot do it at all, I'll continue to own and drive my 540 hp fire breathing monster. We know Chevrolet lied way back then on the horsepower rating but now I know for sure exactly what the beast in my garage is rated at. In fact, every time I start my car....somewhere in the world a Prius dies!! With the machine you've so nicely built, it's nice now to have some company. Again, awesome job on the concept and completion of what is probably the coolest C3 of all time.
Several years ago I was driving my LT4 red 96 convertible and came upon a Prius that had a sign in the back that said, "I get 60 mpg". Of course, he was driving 45 mph on a 55 mph city Interstate in Michigan. I downshifted and blew by him and let him hear my exhaust as it revved to the limit. He probably thought of me as a fool but it made my day!
Love the build ! ...You have EVERY right to be proud .....You won't say this but to the harshest critics,but I surely will .."Do you have the skills and imagination come close to doing this level of work?!?"....If so many of US would love to see YOUR creation(s).....sounds like you could teach US all a lot .....Now about those headlight configurations ...WOW just WOW..!!!...I have a C3 ,myself and while I do not have vacuum problems yet ,(owned car since 2006,fixed them all,this time,... I think.....LOL),I want to do that so that I can get rid of ALL of the relays, hoses ,and delayed door openings .....Thanks for the view!
This car was built with lots of vision, passion, great companies and cash. I respect you for knowing what you wanted and making it a reality , its a true work of art. Its not exactly my dream build but its also not my car. Your dedication is much appreciated . Thumbs up to you.
Bob, I have just been blown away. Not only by Green Mamba, but by the incredible detail and energy you were able to put into this video! Hoooo-leeee smokes. I want to be like you. Only, I can't! Just.....incredible! I *have* to see this car in person.
Fantastic project. Thank you for sharing. Its amazing that you completed that in just over a year. As someone who is just wrapping up a 63 convertible restomod I appreciate you sharing the parts and systems you used, as well as your one off parts.
That's a proper restomod. Built with a purpose and functionality. Not just a trendy bucket of bolts trailer queen, with fancy paint like some that I see. Very nice car.
What a beautiful Corvette and what a great, interesting, well made video! Green Mamba is a stunning looking machine. Thank you Bob, for sharing your awesome talents and skills.
a real work of art. truly engineering and art perfectly blended. and the best part, it is all fully functional, while the car sure has a big show factor about it, it has at least as much go factor to go along with it. phenomenal build !
Cars like this excite me! Cars like this are where its at, with Magnificent Homebuilt ingenuity & Craftsmanship. Bob, your car is amazing, thanks for sharing with us. Really enjoyed hearing about the build, definately looking forward tp seeing more of this! Ferraris & Lambos etc are boring, they do not excite me. You are a genius!
Hi Bob, don't know if you'll see my note but I love the way you did the headlamp and I'll do the same about, sorry but thanks for the idea. God bless you!!
Sick ride! you inspire my next build with this. I been a Corvette fan since I first saw a 1974 Vette with a lady charming a snake on its hood. then confirmed my love for the beast My neighbor built a 1974 with a 396, she was a Black beauty, I got a ride in it. and I was hooked. but then I owned a few Carbed cars and a few Fuel injected cars. and I lost interest in carbs. So my 86 TA has been put aside since 2007, time to bring that beast out and buy a 1974 Vette. use the TA to build up an Engine or 2 and then when all the parts are ready, build the body and chassis of the vette and paint it balk and blue.
Wow - You put about as much work into this video as you did into the build. Amazing job and I trust you are enjoying the crap out of it. As a viewer, it was a little frustrating to hear you talking about the engine without seeing it - could have used more of the interior too! Such a nice job all around. Thanks for sharing.
I heard that a lot, so in the video of my next build we made sure to include engine noises. check out the last build th-cam.com/video/z2_v7PsjXuA/w-d-xo.html Thanks
What an awsom car, the best part is when I hear these guys thank God and give him the glory. Great vidio & great dude. I hope and pray that I have a nice car like this, keep grinding those gears buddy🙏🙏🙏
Amazing build, brother! You are truly talented and blessed to say the least. I'd love to use some of those body style ideas on a custom build myself. Again, great work.
Nice build. similar purpose and style to my build that was put in mothballs in 08...Hope to pull Hammerhead out and finnish...Thanks for the inspiration and placing glory where its due!
Wow! Fantastic build! That is Sema Show quality easily! If the car was mine, I would do a few modifications, but it’s a matter of personal taste. Good job, sir👍🏻👍🏻
Great video bob,i met you at sema on fri. Asking about the kind of carpet GREEN MAMBA has,thank you for the help. And for the guys saying one day when they win the lotto. You dont need to win the lotto,just work hard in whatever you do and,YOU CAN have a cars or truck like this,it just takes time. Phil
MASSIVE TIRE GRIP and a TON OF TORQUE........ not as bad as it looks and probably even tougher to completely eliminate. In a traditional "steel" car this would be easier to get rid of but corvettes are quite different. Full Framed because they have to be. There is virtually no structural strength to be found in the fiberglass that rides on top of the frame. Removable tops add NOTHING for strength to speak of vs a full on roadster soft-top. Eliminating the Flex would require a big move into "RACE CAR" territory and it might have been too fr away from street car friendly for the owner. A full cage inside the passenger compartment welded in would be the way to go but now you're climbing in rather than opening a door and stepping in. In the end it's proof that you really can't have your cake and eat it too. Accept the flex or accept the serious move away from user friendly street car........or option #3........spend REALLY BIG and under pin the whole car with a C6 or C7. The C3 was never designed for this level of traction and power in one.
That's because he cut so much out of the sail panels rear for that trunk and didn't reinstall braces, therefore everything behind the doors during hard accelerations will buckle.. He's an EXCELLENT fabricator No Doubts there. Remember, Corvettes bodies "hang" on a birdcage frame and "flexy" fiberglass as well, but an oversight nonetheless.
Dear sir, what a beautiful automobile! If you watch one of your amazing burnouts, you will notice quite a bit of frame flex. Consider reinforcing frame. It will save your fantastic body panels. Just commenting. I love this car!

@@trashbandit2449 you might be right. Ive only seen pieces...but a mold of the entire rear clip like this...I haven't seen. Flares take a lot of work and aren't just placed the same by each builder. My point was that if he made molds of his, it might simplify the process for others. Just a thought.
@@tjmoneybags www.dynamiccorvettes.com/product/68-69-custom-rear-clip-with-3-built-flares/ Just scroll down a bit. Definitely the way to go over cutting the rear clip apart and having them both maybe be off a little
So glad to hear you give God the credit. It means everything. He is the great all in all. I have been working on a 1980 Corvette with my son for the last few years. Slow project. Your car is amazing. If our Vette ends up one tenth as nice as yours. That would be awesome!
I love it good luck those headlights and front valance are vicious the whole car looks great i have a 1969 corvette convertible #s matching stick with air ive had this car in my life since i was 16 so id love to do some of those body mods but i cant cut it up i did the motor plenty i want to put a tko600 5speed but rite now Theres to many toys and im a C10 owner also a few from 1960 to1972 but i had to comment on your car good luck hope u do well great video
... fiberglass ... fiberglass ... fiberglass ... and... you guessed it! Fiberglass! love the car tho' original and fine looking, wanted to hear the engine but i trust it sounds great, wonderful job man just great!
nice production! Do you have plans for a hidden cage for this car? I noticed a lot of frame shake at the 7:39 mark. Does the Detroit Speed kit do anything for frame stiffness?
The car has a rear hoop. No plans for any other changes or cage. All stock frames flex, it would take a full cage to stiffen. DSE only offers suspension parts nothing for frame stiffness. I don't normally do burnout, especially with the shocks set for autocross, which makes it hop.
The stock frame does flex and the fact that its nearly a full fiberglass body, so light and over 600 hp flexing is to be expected but not harmful to the car its self
badrs414, you kept the stock frame? I was planning to replace my frame altogether with a Roadster Shop C3 corvette frame, but with all the necessary options if comes up to almost 70,000. I was very impressed with you build and was shocked that you are still using the original frame. I might just keep my stock frame.
It looks like the whole chassis is flexing at that point. I would seriously recommend you cage that if you're going to relly race it. That said, the concept and execution of the car is outstanding, and I respect what you've done.
Nice Build Bob! What backspace are you running on your wheels? I'm running 18 x 11's and 18 x 12's on a C3 but I have a little front tire rub with the frame at full lock
My front rims are 18" x 11.5" with 4" back spacing. Rears are 18" x 12.5" with 5" back spacing. I had to modify my flares to clear the tire. I also am using Detroit Speeds suspension. A stock or other brand suspension may require different back spacing.

I had an L71 '69 convertible in my younger days. Was much fun! :)
Several years ago I was driving my LT4 red 96 convertible and came upon a Prius that had a sign in the back that said, "I get 60 mpg". Of course, he was driving 45 mph on a 55 mph city Interstate in Michigan. I downshifted and blew by him and let him hear my exhaust as it revved to the limit.

I, also, owned one of these. Mine was a convertible. We lived in great times. Let's make America great, again.
Well done, Bob! Green Mamba is a masterpiece-an incredible blend of art, function, and mind-blowing creativity! Absolutely awesome!
Finally someone who did what the title says ! Described a build ! Great car ! And gave credit to who is really important to him!
You know its hooking up pretty good when you're Door Gaps close up on launch. Believe she'll need chassis work next but a damn nice ride.

Came her upset about chopping up a '68 Vette.
Saw the craftsmanship of this build and thought, wow what a cool '68
This car was built with lots of vision, passion, great companies and cash. I respect you for knowing what you wanted and making it a reality , its a true work of art. Its not exactly my dream build but its also not my car. Your dedication is much appreciated . Thumbs up to you.
That is one hell of a Corvette!!!! Your hard work paid off big time!!
I am blown away. That is the best all around C3 I've ever seen. I've owned and loved them for years and yours is perfect. Well done.
Thank you!
Corvettes always look good no matter how much u modify 1 they'll come out the other side beautiful. Plus that green mamba looks amazing!!!!!
Thank you
You have a gift sir, tremendous display of craftsmanship and engineering. On top of all that's it's bad ass.

Thank you for the compliment. Hope you can see the car at an event sometime.
Fantastic project. Thank you for sharing. Its amazing that you completed that in just over a year. As someone who is just wrapping up a 63 convertible restomod I appreciate you sharing the parts and systems you used, as well as your one off parts.
I love the frame flex in the burnout at time 7:38. It seems you have some work to do in stiffening the chassis. Nice build, it looks great.
That's a proper restomod. Built with a purpose and functionality. Not just a trendy bucket of bolts trailer queen, with fancy paint like some that I see. Very nice car.
What a beautiful Corvette and what a great, interesting, well made video! Green Mamba is a stunning looking machine. Thank you Bob, for sharing your awesome talents and skills.
Your car is amazing. I love it!!! But that trunk! That trunk is pure brilliance.
I like the pull out electronics drawer in the dash, Neat!
She is stunning. You knocked it out the park. A totally awesome one off incredible machine. Well done.

Amazing how talented you must be to create such a beautiful machine. THANKS FOR SHARING (as in Wayne’s world, “we’re not worthy”).
Fantastic car,you are an inspiration to us backyard enthusiasts that anything is possible,thank you
Giving credit where credit is due... Good for you sir. Love the car! You are very talented and truly blessed.
Fabulous car! I've always loved the early Vette's. Also, thanks for giving credit to Whom it belongs. Blessings!
this isnt really an early vette,its a c3
Yeah, looks like one of the early C3s, with what would normally be chrome bumpers, possibly a late 60s one rather than an early 70s?
Hi Bob, don't know if you'll see my note but I love the way you did the headlamp and I'll do the same about, sorry but thanks for the idea. God bless you!!

7:38 Wow, I knew car bodies were flexible but that's the first time I actually see it on camera :D
Damn. He knew how he wanted to build it. And built it like that. Wicked.
Appreciate you using the BASF R-M Green Mamba paint and those great Cobra seats with Schroth racing harnesses!
That clear coat is amazing.
Amazing build, brother! You are truly talented and blessed to say the least. I'd love to use some of those body style ideas on a custom build myself.
Again, great work.
Goes into trance mid paragraph."Without god I am nothing" trance ends and paragraph continues.
Bizarre.
Perfect I love it and all your hard work makes it the best vette of that era I,ve seen to date
If I had the money, skill, talent and time, I would dream of owning a car like yours.
wicked car, I think that year is the best corvette body ever made.....just awesome car bud
Great build man! Wish I could see more videos of this beautiful beast! God bless brother.
Nice build. similar purpose and style to my build that was put in mothballs in 08...Hope to pull Hammerhead out and finnish...Thanks for the inspiration and placing glory where its due!
This is what Chevy should be building today.
Thanks!
7:38 maybe install chassis braces under the car and on the sites. The flex of the frame is not good for racing. Otherwise insanely cool build!
Wow! Fantastic build! That is Sema Show quality easily! If the car was mine, I would do a few modifications, but it’s a matter of personal taste. Good job, sir👍🏻👍🏻
This is the best build I have ever seen.
If I had bags of money I’d almost do the Same, no flares though. Great job. Awesome car man.
Beautiful car, I love the headlights and the trunk feature
Great video bob,i met you at sema on fri. Asking about the kind of carpet GREEN MAMBA has,thank you for the help.

Great choice of car and engine, your a clever guy with good judgement
Beautiful build in a short time. Nice work!
I might get a 79 that id love to do some modern touches too thanks for giving me a few ideas
Awesome. Loved the story and giving God the credit! Wish we could a heard the engine.
Awesome ! I want to get a 1968 C3 Corvette too, thanks for share your Talent !
Amen Brother!!! Your Vette is amazing!!!
most beautiful vette i've ever seen
Nice build! but did you see how much the frame and body flex when he did a burnout, not good!

They have a frame for that!

Love the car just one question is how bright are the headlights
The head lights are very bright. I used resistors to dim them for low beams and the center one is actually amber for running lights and turn signals
What a gorgeous car. Really. If you had to sell it, what price would that be?
Super Cool😊 Great work sir!!
