WHAT IS A CRC CORVETTE?

The inspiration for the CRC Corvette began in the garage of Doug Graf, president and owner of CRC. This whole CRCoachworks business began quite by accident while Doug was working on his hobby back in 1993. That's when the first concept CRC was built on a 1993 Anniversary Corvette chassis. But that first car was different because Doug modified that 1993 chassis to fit the stock '62 body. After a 3+ year design process, Doug finished the car. Going to car shows up and down the West Coast just for fun and a little vacation time, Doug and Carolyn stumbled onto a business idea that was not at all common at the time.

The concept was quite unique and there were many inquiries about purchasing the car. This interest sparked a parallel project that started with a C5 Corvette and several months of hand shaping the new design. Doug's new design took advantage of the larger C5 platform. He chose to use computers in the design process to ensure precision of the body panels and the ability to duplicate the same exact structure each time. Resolutions (then REALADI), an organization within Boeing Phantom Works, was hired to scan the design and convert it to a 3D Computer Aided Design using reverse engineering technology. This same technology is used in airplane designs and the NASA Space Shuttle program.

2004 was the first year that CRCoachworks debuted at SEMA in Las Vegas. Built on a C5 chassis, they ended up with 43 orders! With no shop, no employees, and not much thought that it would end up this big of a deal, they began hiring employees, building a shop, installing state of the art equipment and got the ball rolling... 1 ½ years later.

Rather than offering fiberglass body panels that are attached by the customer or an outside vendor, (and are prone to cracking and crazing), CRC's conversion is a precision carbon fiber product handled only in-house. Designed by digital computer scanning and modeling, the initial molds were developed with assistance from Boeing Phantom Works, but are now handled at a CRC facility in Seattle.

CRC's body conversions use a type of carbon fiber called SPRINT CBS supplied by Gurit that is shipped frozen from England. The material is a combination of carbon fiber and E-Glass layers sandwiched around a precast, pre-catalyzed resin core. Unlike conventional prepregs, SPRINT fibers remain dry and uninfused by the resin until the curing process. According to CRC, this configuration gives the materials outstanding breathability, high strength and achieves autoclave-quality laminates from vacuum-bag processing.

In addition, with CBS a surface film is applied in the molds before laying the carbon fiber material, whichprevents print-through of the pattern or weave. After the vacuum-bagging process and high-temperature cure, the parts are treated with a Spies Hecker primer and paint system, which has been developed for use on this material, all to ensure a smooth finish. Some of the chrome trim is chromed carbon fiber as well, such as the headlight rings and trunk spears on the '58 model and the bumpers.

With this body conversion method, which takes a couple months to install, OEM options that come with the donor Corvette (supplied by the customer) remain intact when the conversion is complete. For instance, if it has a power top, it will remain a power top; if there is navigation you still have navigation; and factory gauges will still be factory. CRC does not alter or replace any of the interior unless requested in an upgrade order.

THE DONOR CAR FOR THIS EXAMPLE WAS A 26,000 MILE 2003 CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE WITH A 5.7L 16 OHV V8 AND 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION.
